Thread: My 30 Million Credit Featherweight with pic
30 million 
I crafted one the other day which was double capped and gave it away to a guildy 
There is a small story to it, read if you wish - I knew it would cost but what else are our credits good for... and it sounded kinda fun...+25 Assembly tapes ======== 3 million credits
4 socket clothes = 100k
Best possible resources available ~ 6 million
grinding resources = 500k
bespin port/pryol crates = 200k
already had a +15 tool = free
reinforced casings = 2 million (stack of 5)
PRECU scopes = 4 million (stack of 5)
3 sets of FW Schematics = 100k
43.?? crafting station in a research city = free
WS buff = 50k (shhhh this ones a secret
)Travel tickets ~100k lol
waiting for stomach to clear = 100 million agrivation points
Reading and asking questions = ~10 hours
Ok, time for the stats
AS = 1.99---not capped but damned good
Damage = 370-965 - that 1 max damage point is killing me
Accuracy Bonus = 46 --- as good as it will get for me
Wound = 13.8 ---Capped
DPS = 334.63
I have decided to keep MWS for this alt and pursue it as a career until I get bored with it or it gets nerfed to heavily /shrug.

You read it right, I paid about 30 mil for this
A week, or two, ago I decided to go with gunfighter to compliment my bh/cm template. I looked, high and low, for the best FW I could get. I asked in the trade forums, andsent /tells to every MWS I saw running around... None of them had what I wanted or even knew how to make it. Some said it was too tough and others said it was not possible. The biggest hold up was the PRECU scope. No WS admitted to having them so I had to buy my own. Even after acquiring my own scope, I still could not find a WS that I thought could handle the job, for various reasons...
Only one option was presented to me... Make the gun myself
Here is how it went down:
I ground out a new char to master weaponsmith DID NOT RESPEC (would have if I could have lol)
+25 Experimentation tapes = 15 million credits +25 Assembly tapes ======== 3 million credits 4 socket clothes = 100k Best possible resources available ~ 6 million grinding resources = 500k bespin port/pryol crates = 200k already had a +15 tool = free reinforced casings = 2 million (stack of 5) PRECU scopes = 4 million (stack of 5) 3 sets of FW Schematics = 100k 43.?? crafting station in a research city = free WS buff = 50k (shhhh this ones a secret
Fun and accomplishment = priceless
Ok, time for the stats
UNSLICED!!!
SAC = 65 ---capped AS = 1.99---not capped but damned good Damage = 370-965 - that 1 max damage point is killing me
Remember this is UNSLICED!!!
Going to grind smuggler next and speed slice it12%. Should be 1.75 Attack Speed and 381.17dps /cheer

I really enjoyed making this gun. I think I may be a long time WS. It is almost as fun as killing ebay jedi and real close to the experience I had with MBE 1.5 years ago. I just gathered resources for ALR's... wish me luck...
Ok, now for the pic. Enjoy
Tried to make a clicky and [Sarcasm] to my surprise, it did not work [/Sarcasm]

So you just paid about 23mil and who knows how many hours to make a pistol that any good WS could make?
oh, also what she said...You paid 200k for grinding resources and then how much for server best resources?

I actually find it pretty cool that he made it his own personal quest to make this weapon, whish something along those lines could be implemented in the game for us to play around with. (perhaps with new schematics granted as reward)

23 million, maybe... I don't know... All I know is: I spent about 30 million to get one gun. yeah, I can make some more to offset the cost but thats not really the point /chuckle
and who knows how many hours to make a pistol that any good WS could make?
Strange how you act like these are easy to make or no big deal. I looked on bllodfin bazaar search and found 161 featherweights for 1 million or more (did not bother to look at the cheaper ones).
Not one of them were as good as mine. Sure, there were some very, very nice stats but mine beat all of them out by something. Only two WS (on bazaar search) looked like they could have made what I made with another "amazing" or slightly better resources, very slight. All the others were real good but lacking something. Mostly the PRECU scope. I know, thats not fair to judge their weapons that way since you can't really get them anymore... nebaf' was one of the WS I took notice of. I can't remember the other guys name. Maybe curt???
I guess you are not a good WS then. I looked at the 6, or 7, featherweights you had on your vendor for 2.75 million (yes, I do have that much time on my hands lol) and all of them were sub par for *elite* weapons. You are not even close to the top WS on the Bloodfin bazaar search...
Looks like you used the right stuff but did not really know what to experiment on.
Instead of cutting me down, maybe you should ask how I made these so you can improve your product. Mine blows yours away and we used very similar resources/components. Wrap your head around that one, for a spell
You are right about my server, though. At least from my research. Bloodfin's bazaar search had about 10 times the featherweights, quality ones, that is, than its peer Gorath. Gorath has about 10 or 20 decent fw's with only a couple being very nice, last time I checked, anyways.
how much for server best resources?
About 6 million give or take. I had to buy big stacks for some because thats all that was available. CPU was up there on some of them and others were real cheap. I got a couple "best spawns" in 100k stacks for 2cpu and others were 40+.

Total xp to master WS is about 917k
I crafted about half of that with pistol barrels then realized rifle barrels give about twice the xp.
These totals are from the top of my head. Could be off by a number, here or there, but my point is still illistrated...
8818 pistol barrels = 458500 xp
26 units per barrel = 52xp
about 229268 units were used
4878 rifle barrels = 458500 xp
46 units per barrel = 94xp
about 224388 units were used
I purchased five 100k stacks of steel
1 cpu * 500,000 = 500k credits
A vendor search for "steel" with a min/max price of 100k turned up more than enough steel on Gorath... I looked on the Bloodfin Bazaar and found no steel for 1cpu but I found lots of 100k stacks of copper, aluminum, and just about all other resources for 1cpu... Lots of it... Have a look for yourself.
I made generic crafting tools to get to 4040 artisan so that ate up some resources too but not many. I had about 5k steel left when it was all over...
Summerflame -
This is not the very first gun I made. I made about 30 standard fwg5's for testing. I played around with resources to see what effects they had. A previos querry, of mine, led to some conflicting information and I needed to sort it with some scientific tests. I also ran tests on the components, experimented differently, to see what effect they had on the final combine. Luckily, it was not that complicated. Everything turned out pretty sensible. I hope the other weapons have some sort of twist in the algorithms used. I bet they are all cookie cutter, though... It might get boring if all weapons have the same math behind them.
BTW - I used 181 casing on this. If I use one of the 184's I just purchased, ---TRIPPLE CAP--- with low speed and high AC Now that's worthy of an ADK, I rekon...

Nice work with your crafting btw, although if you really couldn't find anyone on your server who could have made that it shows what a sorry state crafting is in, it's easier now than it's ever been.
Get FS crafting if you are going to stay WS, FS > Research Centre and they don't stack.

Just a slight note. The scope you used areseems not to be Pre CU, but Pre publish 23. They were looted from BH Targets.
Triple capping is very hard and I dont believe it has been done yet (before slicing at least). Remember thenumber is one digital off on components
If you've spent that much for a pistol... why not try a few more times and double cap one
1pt of extra damage I know, but I would rather have a double capped one that one 1pt off
