I liked the idea of going WS and decided to respec into it. I have some top notch resources and after a few tries and some basic slices have come up with some decent weps. I am doing merchant now and need help on pricing. I at least want to get a base for what I'm doing.


My best yet that I've gotten:

Advanced laser rifle: dmg 487 - 1004 (this is after a 2% slice) / 2.54spd (after a 4% slice) / 93sac. It came out with a 293.07 dmg per sec

Not sure but from what I'm looking at I could sell this one at 100k credits at the very least. I would like some help though. How much should I sell this for?

I don't know your server's economy, but speaking as someone who has just gotten into Weaponsmith like you, I recommend going to the bazaar, doing the vendor search, and just scanning down through the different weapon types to compare their stats and prices. See what the average is overall for weapons with similar stats to yours, then check to see where they tend to be more expensive/less expensive, and take a look at where your shop is (if you have one).


Just try to price similarly to how other weaponsmiths in the area do. Tip: don't try to undercut too much, you may get other sellers upset, but more likely people will see the lower price and automatically think the weapons are priced lower because they are a lower quality.


Anyway, my point: do some market research and price accordingly

I've been pricing my stuff at 100 times the base DPS... for me at least, it offers a good balance between profit and speed of sale.

find a good weaponsmith on your server and look at his vendor. You can undercut a few k, or charge the same. Easiest way to get the best prices for your server.


I have a guildmate who is our WS and has a vendor and to make things easier on him he mainly prices by the CL, 5k (to CL10), 10k till CL 20, 20k for CL 30 and up.. or something like that. Makes life easier.
