Weaponsmith Archive

Know what's funny? I fancied myself an intelligent, considerate and polite weapon shopper until I read this thread. I now realize that unless I sacrifice eight nubile virgins to my local Weaponsmith the world will end.

Did I get it right?

Relax. You people take this thread way to seriously. This thread is not designed to tell costumers never to ask questions. Believe me I and Im sure most Weaonsmiths dont mind answering questions. Actually I take pride in sharing my knowledge (thou llimitted it may be after the CU) with weaponshoppers.

This thread is made for the weaponsmiths to share experiences and believe me one of the reasons we laugh is because its nice to know that others out there experience the same things every day that we do.

We all participate in a lot of different community in here the WS community get together and laugh abit about similarities in human behaviour across server boarders. Dont take offense we dont laugh at you as per say we laugh at some of the situations that might arise when people are entering a world they barely understand.

I believe similar threads could be made if WS were to respec to CHs or another profession far away from our world.

Instead of being offended by this thread sit back and enjoy some of the very hilarious stories hidden in it

Couldnt hurt . But seriously though, imagine yourself being asked to make krayt power hammers 3x a day. After a while it grinds on you. This thread was to let WS share mutual experences. Now with the CU I do not mind people asking me questions because quite frankly I dont know many of the answers. The game has changed and we do understand that ATM lots of questions about their weapons is warrented.

In a few months we will return to our policy of getting annoyed at customers......if we ever do figure this new system out totaly

BTW, if this thread did not exist weaponsmiths prices would look like this:

Ranged Weapons: Right Arm

OGM212!!MG!!11 WE'RE NOT ALLOWED OT HAVE BAD DAYS RO GTE UPSET OGM1!!

give us a break.

this thread is for us to vent

and laugh at customers that don't know better

think of it as "can you pvp? can you take someone down in 1 hit? no? you suck!"

Here's my favorite: (was from a guildmate, so, decided to have some fun with him)

Guildmate: Are you still a Weaponsmith?

Me: Never changed .

G: Can you make sabers?

[Hmmm...is he talking about what I think he is talking about]

M: Sure can.

G: Really??? I thought you had to be a Jedi to make one.

[He IS talking about what I think he is talking about. If he knows this, why would he be asking me?]

M: Actually, any Master Weaponsmith can make all kinds of sabers.

[At this point for the joke sabers = swords for me]

G: Wow! Okay, can you make me a purple one?

M: Actually, we can't experiment in color.

G: Oh...How do they get different colored sabers then?

M: Probably by going to a Tailor for the proper colored thread to weave into the sword.

G: Really??? Okay, so can you make me a saber and i'll find a Tailor.

M: Sure...And I'll give it to you for free...sound good?

[My "payment" was in the joke on my guildmate

This happened to me about 1 month ago

Confused Noob: hello, I need a suit of composit armor. what are the stats on yours.

Me: uhh.......I cant make composit armor

Noob: What?! Why not?

Me: Because Weaponsmiths do not make armor. Weapon-smith: one who makes weapons

Noob: Then who makes armor?

Me: ......well, if a person who makes weapons = weaponsmith then a person who makes armor is a ______Smith

Noob: never heard of that profession

Me: Armorsmith......Armor-smith: one who makes armor

Noob: Where can I find a armorsmith then?

(normialy I am a nice and let the noobs figure stuff out but this guy was getting to be annoying)

Me: well your in luck. As weaponsmiths are all expertsof the mysterious armorsmith. Now you find them by going to dearic on talus and running around in a circle about 500-1000 times. After you do that a tuskan raider will appear and show you the way to their cave. That help?

Noob: Thanks for the info

All I could think of for the rest of the day was the guy running in circles and wondering where the tusken was.

I find this funny becuase my first few weeks IG, the concept of going to a weaponsmith for a weapon confused me. It was my first clue that the devs don't know squat about combat, or things military.

p.s. IRL you go to the armory on base, where the armororswork, to get a rifle.

Damn...never have i seen a thread so full of self righteous selfcenterred pricks. I wonder if all ws are like this. People who come up with these subjects for threads have obviously forgotten what its like to be a new player.

I must truly say this makes me sick to read.....and ill make sure ill ask extra many questions next time i meet a ws.

I can't help to absolutly pound this guy to the ground.

Aparently you don't know the word "common sense" means. If someone has the words "weaponsmith" on their heads technically mean they CAN make weapons. NOT armor, NOT clothing.

When I was a n00b I NEVER asked such stupid questions (actually i just bough what I could afford on the bazaars). You know why? Because I had enough common sense to figure out what a weaponsmith(or any professionhence Droid engineer = making dorids, armorsmith = armor, talior = clothing)is.

If there is a question "can u make weapons" and there is a tag that says "master weaponsmith" it's quite obvious that the person CAN make weapons. Unless your 6 years old, or from a 3rd world country that doesn't understand our language, a player has no excuse not to know what a "weaponsmith" is (hence the WEAPON and the SMITH).

On the other hand:

I was weaponsmith turned armorsmith (still no difference in stories).

And when I was working up to weaponsmithI got some really dumb questions.

First one: *when I had the title "EXPERT weaponsmith" not master...

Customer: Hey (the oh nightmarish "hey')
Me: yo
Customer: can u make [this gun]?
Me: well I can but I'm not master so it will be cruddy
Customer: ok what will be the stats?
Me: [tell stats] but like I said I'm not master
Customer: dude! I can find a better gun elsewhere
Me: well Like I said I'M NOT MASTER WEAPONSMITH

how many times do I have to repeat myself? Does this guy even get good grades in school with such horrible reading skills?

One more:

Customer: Hey (...)
Me: yo
Customer: can u make [this weapon]
Me: sorry thats a quest only weapon.
Customer: oh can you dothe quest?
Me: Sure then I'll sell it to u for about 3 million credits.
Customer: no awnser...

HA! like I would sell a nice quest weapon cheap. Over my dead body (lol call me crazy but even I pay premium for weapons *spent good ol 2.5 million credits on atrandohuntingrifle not regreting buying it*)

*edit spelling errors*
