Weaponsmith Archive

I had several asking me to repair their weapons the last few days. I have done it for them (free) even if it is not my weapons. I don't mind helping them out and it is always fun to "meet" people. I just hope they think about the nice weaponsmith that helped them repairing their weapon the next time they need to buy a gun :-).

Are any of you charging for repairs?

If someone asks me if I can repair their weapon I tell them that it is on their own risk and the weapon might break. I don't ask to get paid, but it would be nice to get a small tip though when I repair their expensive weapons :-).

I've had one guy who wasn't a guildmate ask for a repair. I didnt charge him but said he could tip me if he wanted and I was successful. Well, it was my first failure on a repair.......... Gun was 520/850 or so.

Yeah I get a lot of requests now days. I have never asked for any payment, but I have been tipped in excess of 1K. I just warn them that the gun can fail. Even had a really nice FWG fail and go to 0 damage stats. But it seams that they are happy with just having you try.

Done it twice with a 99% kit, both time failed. Will never do it again. Give them the kit and say "Have a nice day"

I do, but I turn them down. Until I actually see a repair skill somewhere on my experimentation tree, I'll not be repairing weapons...even though they said they gave weaponsmiths a better chance at it. I was to see raw number displayed to me.

Repair kits also seme to have increased in price a lot. I made some long before even getting nov ws. But one guy asked me some days ago to make one (people probably think rep.kits is a ws item and not artisan). I made one for him w/o thinking of giving him it free, but he offered me 1k.

I was thinking is he out of his mind.When I made them before I sold them for a few hundred. Later I checked the bazaar and every kit over 90 rate was costing like 2,5-3k. I thought that was outrageous so I have put a couple up for 1k each and they have been sold in a few hours. Pretty good markup even if was using 930 cond copper.

I'm a Master Weaponsmith on Scylla and keep my tags down so I don't get bombarded with "can you make me an awesome LLC? an t-21?"requests. I am doing alot of non crafting things post grind. Anyway I've been asked to repair three times(I'm sure it would be more if I let people know what I was) and the first time it failed on a Power Hammer. The condition was really crappy so I feel bad, but not too bad, the other two I had a talk with the guys to make sure they knew the risks. Both wanted Mambres weapons repaired. Mambres was the first Master on Scylla and went into retirement a long time ago. He hardly ever makes weapons anymore and people love those guns more than their characters themselves. One was an FWG5 Pistol, no biggie and the other was a Pre-nerk T-21. Now that was nerve racking waiting to see what happened.

All the time. But I hate failures . . .so I don't carry repair kits with me anymore.

I have repaired over 10 weapons (mostly guildmates) since they changed the weapon repair tool to the current model with efficiency % (mine are 99%+) and supposedly gave us a bonus to weapon repair. Every weapon to date has been repaired with minor blemishes. This includes a krayt scatter, advanced fwg5,post-nerf T21, and a mambres scout. Almost all of them had just over 50% remaining before repair.

I've instructed all my guildmates to not bring me their weapons until they are almost, but not under,50%.
