Thread: Are there any FAQ's that need writing?

There was a guy the other day looking for a specific piece of information and couldn't find it in the stickies. I looked through them again myself and noticed little bits of information missing here and there, and stuff seems to be getting a little outdated.


I'm asking you guys, what guides do you think should be rewritten and are there any FAQ's that would be useful to newer weaponsmiths (and older ones too) that should be created and stickied?

Ours is not as relevant and up to date as I would like. I am not overly concerned with this, though, since a lot will change for us with the Combat Upgrade (along with everyone else).


Still, if people are dying to contribute to something...


For many months now I've been attempting to finish compiling what I've dubbed the Weaponsmith Bible. It is a collection of the voluminous amounts of information out there regarding our profession, laced with helpful info for both veterans and newbies alike. I am, sadly, still a long way from being done. If someone wanted to write some new guides on the following topics, I wouldn't stop them:



  • An updated grind guide (different grinding methods: heavy warheads, projectile rifle barrels, etc.)

  • An experimentation guide (how best to experiment, how to obtain additional points, what those extra points mean, etc.)

  • Tips on running a WS business (what to sell, advice on determining pricing, marketing tips and tricks, perhaps a brief explanation of what "free-market economy" means)

  • A short guide to the basics of the profession (prerequisites, a look at the skill trees, tips on complimentary skills, a discussion of crafting tools and stations, factory usage tips, storage tips, droid usage, etc.)

I would happily link those sorts of things into our "useful links" thread, as well as including them in the Bible (with credit to the original author).


I think it's time I enlisted some help from you guys on my project, I'll try and get up a sample of what I'm doing later today. We can turn it into a community-building exercise. (Man, do I sound corporate or what?)

for us non-weaponsmiths who visit for info, details regarding the various weapons are great, as well as current vendors/server lists. we may not want the details of crafting, but we look here for help when we have questions regarding the specifics of what is available, and what is possible.

no, wait, i saw this game... "pong" i think it was called. it was really easy to understand! maybe you could make swg more like pong! think of it! fast paced action! iconic characters! MORE FUN!

I think a giant list of all the baseline damages (give or take) of every weapon would be awesome. This would prevent people comming in and saying, "I have 4176412 damage tissues with -231.23 speed, how will the damage be if I put these into a Powerhammer?". Having a general base-line thread would let you say, "well, the average power hammer is 5.7 speed and 420 damage when you subtract the core, so, 4176832 damage and -225.53 would be your final speed! Good luck with find a 'smith do make it for you."


Okay, maybe that was a bad example, but I hope you see what I mean. Get SeaRaptor to sticky a thread and ask for a few inputs, probably one from each of the bigger servers, then average the stats. I know I'd help out with this one, I even tried to start it a while ago.




As you can see, no one took the time to bother, but maybe an official FAQ stamp would raise some brows
