Thread: Question about Ranged Weapon Prices
When a weaponsmith has a hard time keeping stocks up due to high traffic, he can raise prices to insane levels.
Enhanced weapons are going to cost a lot simply due to the difficulty in acquiring the really nice tissues.
But I think people who do not pvp exclusively overlook basic really nice Master Weaponsmith weapons. They aer generally more than adequate for taking down big game. For Krayt hunts.. ok.. use your top weapon. But for most outings, use a well-made 10k Master Model.
For normal post-nerf FWG5s mine are about 174 max and 2.1 speed. I charge 10k each, and that's charging 50cpu for resources and adding about 25% markup on top of that. The same pricing puts a VK (mine 145 max 2.2 speed) at 4025, and a DX2 near 18,000.
Adding in an enhancement such as gorax bone or spider fangs, or Krayt tissue would up the price significantly. Basically the value of the component. If you brought me the loot enhancement, I could custom-build a weapon with no additional charge above my vendor prices.
For loot schematics, I will construct the weapon(s) free as long as all loot is provided, andI can keep one final assembly for myself.
Selling a weapon sliced would up the price according to the slice. A very nice slice could add 10k or more to the price.
My god 10k for a fwg5. I sell mine for three k unsliced. No I do not charge 50 credits per resource either. The norm on sunrunner seems to be shallower then on your servers.
Though prenerf fwgs, and krayt models can be quite expensive. When it comes to fwg5s of this nature yeah they should fetch such a price. In pvp they can really blackbar a person in no time. This is what they are usually used for burning other players to the ground.
Unless your hardcore pvp I would see no reason in haveing one.
