Ok.. so I'm a pretty new Master Weaponsmith now. I'm going to be specializing in Blaster type weapons (Rifles, Pistols, Carbines).


I'm curious to know what or where would I find info on what I should set my base pricing to be?


Is there some formulas that people are using?


I've been making a few weapons so far and have also been using the optional scopes and stocks on them.


All my weapons right now are Unsliced.


Any help would be great.


Thanks,

Depends on the quality of your weapons compared to the rest of the server. If you are a 12 point smith and are making the highest quality weapons on your server then 50cpu to 100cpu is pretty standard for pricing. Realize as a smith your customers are looking for the best weapon and not the cheapest weapon they can find.


As you learn the market on your server you, adjust your inventory and prices till you find a volume you are comfortable with.Ifyou get resellers just buying up half your stock and putting it on there own vendors at a higher price its a pretty good indicator that your prices are a bit low.


Overall there is no set formula to pricing weapons. Best advice I can offer is to be reasonable but makesure you are making a good profit so you canget into the position to hire otherpeople to mine for you.Don't try to do it all yourself of you will end upon the pile of burnt out weaponsmiths complainingthat the game just isnt fun anymore.

Just make them up its easier. I make my prices about what i would expect to pay



7-12k for pistols (scouts at 1.5 spd dmg 138--fgw5 2.6 spd dmg167 etc....)


10-17k for carbines( all have prettyy good stats except elite)


14-20k for rifles ( T-21's sell for 30k and up)


25-35k for grenades (these are a total pain in the arse to make and i only sell them in crates of 25 )


30-40k for consumables (These are more of a pain in the arse to make)


Melee Weapons 4-15k (Vibro Knucklers 2.3 spd 147 dmg are 15k)


Lol its a pretty broad range but i dont care. No ones vendor besides mine is ever stocked on the planet my shop is on so i could charge 100k for a CDEF pistol of i wanted too. Anyway thats my base pricing
