Greatly appreciated

1)Use the best resources you can afford....


2)send an email to your guildies and friends asking that they consider u if they ever loot anything weaponsmith related and in return u will take care of them weapon-wise


3)dont forget that SAC is more important than damage in most cases.........a rifle can do 200000 damage but if the sac is 126 its only good for killin level 30's in one shot...


4)and having an alt to gather stuff helps a ton


5)be cool

welcome aboard



  1. Read through all the stickies

  2. Read this board daily (bugs and issues will usually be reported here and then you can read about them instead of experiencing them Here is a list of some of them

  3. Here is a list of all Enhancers ingame (remember to unstack enhancers before running the factory)

  4. Be patient and focus on niche areas till you have good enough resources to compete (melee and low CL weapons are mostly untouched by the veteran smiths)

  5. Have fun. This profession is about having fun, not getting the largest bank account

Having fun while having the largest bank accout then?


TBH though to earn big you will need patience as the first couple of month most of your income will go back into resources and enhancers

To compete with the top ws on your server perhaps, but IMO theres plenty of room and a large marked for Low CL weapons (1-40) and melee weapons. stuff like Rocket launchers and grenades could also be an area where theres plenty of room to make money.


Its all about localizing where there is noone focusing and where the top smith havent got any time to fill the gaps. Also cathering to lower CL players will bring you loyal costumers later on


/ponder perhaps I should start restocking my Low CL Weapons


Nah honestly theres plenty of room fo rnewer smiths as long as they dont expect to marsh into the highend enhanced marked and make billions the day after they respecced to WS (to the OP Im not saying you respecced please dont think of it like that, Im just trying to illustrate a point )


Anyways Welcome aboard WS is a great profession and you actually get to exercise the braincells a bit once in a while
