Hello everyone. Ive been a Master smith for a while now and thanks to the semi-decent spawn on corbantis and the love of my guildmates I am finnally ready to open shop for the first time and was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to start with for instance maybe 2-3 kinds of weapons from each class and 25 of each and make sure i have T-21, DXR6, and LLC. Any advice how to stock for start because after it startsgoing ill know what sells and know what to keep making. Also any help pricing would be great also

Thanks a lot friends

well this is the real trick innit?!


what i did was just send out a guild mail to find what ya guildies want then make 25 of each of the weps they ask for, then start with the best res's and make only what will be of high quality, all the time collecting better res's. As for pricing thats different from server to server so you'll have to do you're own market research, just go to 2-3 of the best MWS's on your server, you'll soon see what the prices are like

I'm a WS on Corbantis. If you like, contact me ingame. I'd be happy to share my price list with you, i came to my prices by visiting many weapon shops and determining a good medium. I'd be willing to offer any assistance you may need.

I won't lie about it. I undercut my competition. I have such a store of minerals now that I rarely harvest any. Only GOOD shifts. I price my weapons between 10k-15k for the higher selling weapons. That is already sliced also. A guildie is a master smugg and I pay out 1500 for each slice. Not to worried about cash, there is only so much you can buy. But I would like to see my Lethally Dark Industries to be the elite supplier of arms on Tarquinas. Stock Lasers, Jawas, gaffis, VKs, EE3s, and I like DL44s. They are my specialty and I can get them upwards of 190 max, and 2.0s in the speed area.


But really put out a little of all and see what sells best.

I keep low-priced, slice noob weapons also. BUt I give out alot of these in Eiseley to establish a customer base.


OH! and Set up shop on Coriella. It is the hub of the galaxy.

For ranged, make one or two crates of atleast 3 different weapons in each tree, like DLT20, Laser and T21 rifles. DH17, laser and elite carbines. DL44, scoutblaster and republic blaster pistols. Also try to make some stocked versions of the rifles and carbines, especially the lasers and the T21.


For melee stun batons/gaffi sticks and vk's are a must, byttry to also stock 3 wepaons in each of the four disciplines (well except for unarmed where there is only one )


That is my suggestions

Honestly, make 25 of each weapons except for striker/tangle cause they just suck. You will prlly sell lots of vk's, gaffis, hammers, dx2, srepub blasters, flamers, llc's, well most everything you will sell alot of. Once you have 25 of each on your vendor people will have a big selection taht they will want to come back to. Also you will kinda figure out what sells the best. Now you cant exactly have to many weapons on your vendor now can you
