Thread: Fellow Weaponsmiths, how are we all doing?
Vade_WS
Normal weapons sales are down
lefmicro
Sales are down for me too. I haven't sold a normal weapon in a week and a half
Summerflame
On a last note only really highend weapons move fast on the vendor the rest I feel I have to restock a couple of times to get off
Ybagi
Scythes used to sell within days of being listed on my vendor, I haven't had to restock any yet but I'm expecting I will need to.
Xix13
Down a little
Pyp
They have now dipped this week (read stopped !)
reininop
nothing sells as high as it used too unless it is really high end.
Maceey
But for almost 2 weeks now it went down to almost dead
Muzz
enhanced weapon sales have slowed
roxby
Selling no normal weaps despite brutal discounting (90% reductions)
Not really selling any mid or high end weaps.
Umm ya ADKs have had no effect? Looks like your thread backfired on you 
I'd just like to say that now we have seen the CU weapons, and they all have pretty much the exact same stats(especially the master level weapons) and the elemental damage I.E. "situational weapons"offer aninsignificant difference over an ADKed weapon meaning they woun't be used to the extent believed before, the ADK will have the same impact POST CU.
Everytime someone uses and ADK, that is decay lost, that is eventual sales lost, how you can even think you can argue that point is baffling.
these new Bazaar and ADK's are killing my business.
I sell most Weapons except the Krayt Specials etc.
Since the Vendor Search sales have dropped about 60-80%.
Im now seeing weapons being sold for 2000 Credits. I cant
compete with this...
ADK's have probably effected my high end VK sales also
a double hit for my business.
Ah well looks like after 1.5 years of Weaponsmithing
-=Terror=- is going to closing its doors.
As i have predicted before it seems like you smiths
out there with very large support infrastruture.
Contract resource suppliers etc are now pricing everyone
out of the game
.This will continue to happen and we shall soon see a TECSO
weaponmiths... The new bazaar changes seem to support this
large business model even more than in the past just a matter
of time.
I might stay as a WS but only for specials and making weapons
for friends. However much more fun being a combat prof now
so a /twofingersup to these new changes as far as I am concerned.

Im pretty broke atm, so my harvestors are breaking down, but I have managed to sell several things on the bazaar. Nothing in the scale you guys sell things I know, but it's nice to see that little e-mail saying someone bought something I made. I'll get there.BTW: I thought I did pretty good when I made a CDEF rifle that was 27-54 dmg and 4.5 spd. After 9 experimentation points, I hope that is good.Anybody have any advice for a "n00b" WS?
heh this made me smile, I remember that first sale.
After awhile the little email jingle gets to "FFS some clown bought out all my nades"
yeah make the DLT-20 they have much better damage for the same cert.
I've been away for some weeks so my business is stagnant as people arent aware that I've returned. It was actually quite reasonably brisk sales on all types of weapons, both ranged and melee. Word gets around fast on Ahazi, if you make quality stuff and price it fairly it will sell. I have no chance of keeping up with Imp Dets and thermals, but then I do make server best /blowownhorn
Krayted and Loot enhanced stuff generally goes to the guildmates who provide it for no cost. Bags and bags krayted APH and yellow cubes in return for a few free weps? Sounds like a bargain to me.
