Guy: hi

Me: Hello!

Guy:can u make scythes

Me: Yes

Guy: i need a scythe for 50k

Me: I'm sorry, I don't sell Scythes that cheap and you'd be hard pushed to find a WS that does.

Guy: plz plz plz make me a scythe for 50k im desparate

Me: I'm sorry but Scythes take a lot of sub components to make and they cost me around 300k to buy per Scythe.

Guy: plz i really need a scythe and i only have 50k plz can you make me one

Me: Look, a scythe is out of your price range, however I make good Power Hammers for 6k each. Would you like a WP to my vendor?

Guy: hammers are too slow i need a scythe plz will u make me one

Me NO! I already told you that Scythes cost me 300k each to make! Why would I want to make a 250k loss on a weapon I can quite easily sell for 600k+? I'm not in the business of losing money, and if you are as desparate as you say you are, you can get a buff for 15k and go and do some missions like the rest of the galaxy instead of whining and begging.

Guy:ok thx


What really got me was his response to my rant. At the very least I expected some mindless slander and abuse but no, just an ok thx. I couldn't help but feel let down.





He I know this guy, I have had the same questions a few days ago


Dude: Do you sell scythes?


Me: Yepp there are about 10 on my vendor varying between 500k and 1000k.


Dude: Can I have one?


Me: Just go to my vendor and look for yourself to find one that suits you.


I got a tell like 30 mins later.


Dude: There are not 500k to 1000k, they are 500000 to 1000000 that's not what you said!!!


Me: DUH 500k==> K=1000 so 500*1000=500.000.


Dude: Oh can I have one for 3000 credits because you have 10 of them and you are a rich WS.


Me: NO but look at my cheap sliced weapons vender and buy a cheap sliced PH (only 2.5k=2500 credits) and go and hunt some so you can afford better weapons.


Dude: Why won't you help me, because I am a noob??? You are a rich WS,a dn you have 10 Scythes, you must give me one!!!1!


Me: I also have 6000 Vibro Knucklers and 4000 Power Hammers wanna trade 1000 of each!!!!!!!!


No respons after that hehe


Man what do those newbs think, that we give away everything because we have so many of them, hehe, like they do that in RL.

I got this question the other day, and it left me a bid dumbfounded, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

"Excuse me, do you have any resources you can give me? I'm grinding Armorsmith."

I think ours is Laura Craft or something like that.

Echal (coughhakka), the MWS who started this thread, retired at the beginning of the year, but its good that his thread lives on.

Sometimes I switch tags on people from Master Weaponsmith to Master Armorsmith or visa versa if I get asked a question. "I'm sorry, I'm just an Armorsmith. Composite? No, but I have some lovely Black Mountain kinetic I can direct you to."
