Weaponsmith Archive

im not sure yet

waiting for the patch

but i may build myself a fleet of 10 or 11 pull harvs and become a weaponsmith

i have a few questions...

how tough is the grindWeaponsmith(not the points of artisan to ws mind you)

what should i grind(is there an item (structure modules and walls in archy, ribbed shirts in tailor) that i should grind from novice to master?)

how much resources and what type do those cost to grind?(so i can start stockpiling now)

thanks in advance for the help

I'm probably not the best person to answer the stockpiling question, since I didn't for the most part (my WS was built for making swords, and nothing else), but insofar as the grind, that's a relatively simple answer that every WS knows and will probably agree with.

If you're just grinding (as opposed to grinding in stages and selling things along the way), do Projectile Pistol Barrels at Novice Weaponsmith. With your first skill level, get Firearms 1, then switch to Projectile Rifle Barrels. Don't ever bother with anything else (some folks might disagree, but if you're just grinding and not necessarily looking to stockpile low-quality components for later, nothing beats these).

Also, I'd suggest using a macro. I'll leave the full details for you to find via searching the forum (if you're too lazy to do that, you shouldn't be aweaponsmith, IMO), but build yourself 8-12 crafting kits, get yourself a few hundred thousand units of steel, load up a macro, and you should be able to get to master without significant problems or delays.
