Just thought this might be interesting for other people. I have a very very nice collection of resources (I spend a lot of time surveying and mining and use swgcraft and try not to miss anything), and here is the volume of regular weapons I sold so far this year (up until when I retired this week). This does not include rare or custom weapons. All weapons were sold at roughly 38 * mineral cost of the weapon. Some were sliced before sale. The absolute numbers aren't terribly interesting, but the relative numbers might be useful:


XG Mine 369

Vibro Knuckler 337

Anti-Vehicular Mine 226

T21 Rifle 140

Laser Rifle 112

Interesting to see those numbers, thanks for posting them Avock. I didn't see Scythes or Disruptor Rifles on the list. I always saw your adds for them on the trade board, so I was just curious how many of them you sold, if you don't mind telling.

Yep, those are only the non-rare weapons. My tracking software does not make it easy for non-uniform stuff (I need to fix that eventually), also the price and quality on the rare stuff fluctuates more, whereas the other weapons, I had the same price for the entire ~ 4 month period.


Qualitatively, I would say that the rare weapons soldin this proportion; I just don't have actual numbers to back it up. One common theme here is that stun weapons seem to be very popular.


Geo Pistols 10
Acklay Stun Batons 6
Disruptor Rifles 5
Krayt Scatters (+30 krayt) 5
Scythes 4
Acklay Power Hammers 3
Geo core weapons 3 (I only used 60+ geo sword or reinforcement cores)
Spider Fang FWG5s 3
Rancor tooth swords 3
Krayt Geos(+60 krayt) 1 (I made and sold 3 of those for 4.5 mil ea, and they sold very slowly)

Thanks for posting that information, it's interesting stuff. So far I haven't made any Geo blasters (can't afford the schematic, lol). I've only made four Scythes, three for guildmates andthe fourthis hanging on the wall in my armory. I made two quality levels of Disruptor Rifles: the best had max damage of about 361 with adv. stock, and I probably sold five or so of them (plus a few others I made for guildmates at no charge). The lower quality ones have max damage of around 317 with adv. stock and I sell them for half the price under a 'generic' brand at a different vendor (I don't put my {VP} symbolin the name of the item), and I've sold probably 10 of them. I've made other enhanced weapons for guildmates and myself, butI don't really trade in that market.

Cool and the Gang...


I am preparing to do some factory runs now that I think I have my stuff down pretty good. It's nice to see what's selling so I don't waste time/money on 20 crates of Beam Rifles, LOL

Actually starting today I'm going to be taking a record of what I sell each day for 7 days.

Maybe things are different on valcyn but I know in the past 6 weeks I went through over 800 Vibro Knucklers, they seem to be my #1 most popular weapon, followed closely by the T21, which I can't seem to keep on the vendor for 3 days when I put up 99.

Thats just a scary amount of sales lol I am guessing you sell more in a day than I do in a month! (Hmm now I just hope I get motivated enough to start cataloging my own sales)!

Ah comforting thought at least although you probably still sold a little more because I happen to accomodate a little backwater known as Talus but then I prefer to live there so I can't complain at least my guild is good for business and Stuman has been doing wonders with draicco which helps with increased foot traffic/passing tradefrom residents.
