I understand that server populaions dictate most of our business, but I am very curious about weapons sales as an entire business...If you would be so kind, could you post the average amount of weapons you sell per day, and the server you are on .


We aren't likely to cure Cancer, but I was trying to get a feel for how big the weapons business was to the economy.

one word: BIG


think of it- weapons decay pretty fast if you use them often enough, if you want to get a good slice, you need to by large quantities of these weapons. As someone levels up or changes professions (espicially with these holocrons, which are a WS dream come true, as people constantly buy new weapons for their professions) they need to buy new weapons, and can and will get new weapons as the get more certs. Add in the fact that almost every week, there is a new spawn of materials that can make weapons stats go up and hardcore players will NEED this upgrade in weapons, and you have the largest business in SWG.


And dont even get me started on commando consumable weapons




after the newest set of nerfs- architect will be the be all, end all for PvP combat, however, the soon to be infamous merchant vendor bugs will make anyone willing to cheat absolutely uber

On average, I sell about 500 weapons per week and this doesn't include bulk or custom orders.

I average about 30-40 weapons a day and i am not hardcore about it at all... i just got a second account to dabble in craftign and once i hit master i made a half a million creds in a week (i was a combat medic/pistoleer on my main account so 1 mil in a week is allot). There are 2 master WS in the player city i am in and we both do well.

50-60 on a normal day. On a good day I can sell several hundred weapons. Ive been around since the first week collecting resources and making weapons. I have the best of everything in large quantity.

Ive only been MWS for about a week so Im still getting use to everything setting respectable yet not too crazy prices etc...

Nothing compared to the armorsmiths on my server. I've talked to the best weaponsmiths on my server and we discovered our sales were pretty similar and pretty mundane compared to what other crafting professions are doing on my server. It's so bad armorsmiths are outbidding weaponsmiths on weapon experimentation tapes.
