It really depends on the server/resources/what's in spawn/age of resources/optional items (stock, etc). When all is said and done, most WS's find a way to sell these for 25k each (Dont ask me how... I can barely make scopes, much less stocks).

The issue is not what the resources are worth; it's the risk of crafting the Krayt components and the final assembly, use of crafting foods to ensure that no failures occur, having bought those crafting tapes to make sure you can recover from an experimentation failure, etc. Personally, when I build a custom weapon, I charge the normal vendor price for the weapon to cover the resources, +50-100% to cover time and crafting foods. Considering how valuable a Krayt weapon is, particularly a T21, that's a steal. And incidentally, a T21 uses some very rare resources. If your WS has good Atlantium, that's easily worth 100CPU. (At least on my server, where quality stuff hasn't spawned in months.)

i would imagine top resources going for 7 cpu tops on any server. just tell me what it would cost on your server, please. I would like to buy a set of tissues and pay a WS to make it for me.

You'd be hard pressed to find a WS who will include tissues in combination of just straight making the weapon. That's the sort of thing I only really do for good friends and guildies. It depends on the smith really, but in the end, a T21 can go anywhere in price. 25-100k easily just because it is the higher end gun for riflemen. 25k's just the min I've seen on my server... it might be different for you. Gluck.

i have a WS who I know would do this. I don't know him well, so I am sure he would be willing to charge me a little more then it is worth. What I am asking is not what T21s are worth. I am asking how much resources to craft the T21, excluding krayt tissues, would cost. Not how much do t21s normally go for without krayt tissues. How much do the actual resources cost?

You need to think about what this WS went through to get where they are now. Most WS's wont bother assembling a T-21 for under 50k, just for that fact that it takes factory runs, time out of their day and using up their best resources for something they'll only make 10k on. To top it off, many WS's might be insulted if you ask him to assemble your item with your own tissues, because I know I would. I'd much rather use my own tissues and charge you for them, just because I'll make that much more money. Your best bet is to ask the WS on how much they'd like. Look up at the sticky at the top of this forum and see who the registered WS's are on your server, and ask a quote from all of them, though you'll be hard pressed to find one to assemble everything for under 25k.

thank you, that pretty much cleared it up, I guess. Don't know why I was 1*'d though.
