Hello
Fairly new to the WS business but wanted a general consensus on what most of you charge for custom orders.
Lets say a customer came to you with an order for roughly 50 weapons spanning 6 different types of weapons. Customer supplies enhancements, schematics and whatnot.
After completing the order, I found I used roughly 11,000 resources and about five in-game hours of my time (luckily my WS is an alt and I was preoccupied with my main most of the time).
No critical failures...maybe one or two moderate sucesses. Went through quite a bit of BE Pyrollian Cake and Bespin Port. Should have kept track but you figure one charge per component of each weapon and then the final assembly.
Anyway...I apoligize for the vagueness but was just wondering if any of you have a set amount you charge for making custom orders.
Thanks

i don't really keep track of food and drinks and stuff. i just charge 2-3X normal weapon price. or whatever will put off the customer enough so they will go away and bother another WS =P

For my custom orders, It totally depends on what they want made, and if they want it RIGHT NOW ( hehe well within reason, but if this means i have to drop what i'm currently working on then price goes up) ...anyways an example would be a Hand crafted T-21 with all the trimmings and named something specific like " Mind Destroyer" or something like that, again it depends on which weapon and time and resources involved... i would most likely charge 55k for it 10k above my normal price for that kind of service... another example.... Scythe blade... if the person supplies their own geo sword cores, or the components to create the sword cores needed to create a scythe blade and of course the scythe blade schematic... i will do a trade .... i will make them their one blade for the 2nd use of the scythe schematic as payment....( of course i will use all my great raw resources for assembly ) ..all in all i believe this to be fair and also can then keep Scythes in stock some of the time 
hope this helps...also it has to do with your server's economy as well... I have seen some pretty highly priced infalted servers compared to others....
