Hehe, I am just so happy, finally made it to master weaponsmith yesterday 
Took me quite a while (mostly doing barrels), till yesterday, where I found on some lost vendor ... 60k skevon gas (to make heavy warheads), wich was not on shift on my server for like 3 month (Lowca). From this point, I just zoomed through master melee weapons and firearms, and munitions 3 and 4. To those who are still grinding through WS, if you have the resources available/on shift on your server, I highly encourage you to practice on heavy warheads, it is incredibly faster.

Krogchoi, Congrats!!! I got master about a week ago. I totally agree, Warheads rule!!! It was slow going for me took me about a 3 weeks to get to 0-2-2-4 I got lucky and had a spawn of Hydron-3 followed immediately by some Skevon and Thoranium steel. Started doing the warheads and was able to get one box a night. for about an hour crafting time.
The hardest thing now is getting together all the resources needed and try to keep from going broke from the travel, pwr& maint fees.
Not sure about you but I'm gonna keep WS. No holo-grinding here.May eventually drop MA once I get established.

Not hologrinding I choosed to be weaponsmith/smuggler and stay that way. I just hate to give up things I worked for, and anyway, I realy like crafting weapons I think I made a big mistake though (for someone who plans on staying a crafter), I picked Zabrak as a race, and only heard quite a while after that humans had bonuses to assembly and/or experimentation 
Now the hard part seems to be gathering all the special ressources needed for some of the weapons, and to have them beeing of good quality.
And a little question too. The town where my shop/crafting station is is supposedly a research center. Now I have 100 in wpn experimentation, and I was told that research centers were giving +10% experimentation, which should give me 11 experimentation points no ? Well, I only get 10. (using a 15 craft too, and 43 crafting station)

Cool deal glad to see you sticking with it... resources are the hardest part .... you have to either buy the great ones from previous shifts or make what you can til new ones come into shift... to answer your question Humans get a +15 to Artisan experimentation as a racial bonus... nothing in Weapon Exp. or assembly so no worries there, you only have to compete with those who have Skill tapes... but honestly they help some but will not break you if you do not hvae them... also in regards to "research center" city... this bonus effects experimentation itself not your experimentation skill mods/pts it just makes it have a higher % of receiving "Great" and "amazing" succeses on experimentations you perform ...i hope this answers your questions... and you are also rt about using best posible crafting tool and station these also come into play for achieving great/ amazing assemblies etc...

thank you for your reply ! Makes some points much more clear to me now. I heard there were foods and drinks that help with experimentation, so I'll look into this too.

Congratulations! I only reached Master Weaponsmith on Sunday. I wish I had used Skevon Gas, Blaster Rifle Barrels all the way (UGH!). Now, time to build some high quality resource stashes for my business....
