Was just wondering, what do you charge when a customer come with krayt tissue or a de-10 barrel/schem for example and want a weapon made?

I charge a flat 100k per weapon btw. except for when it is a schyte and i get to keep the second charge on the schem, then i do it for free.

DE-10, Berserker, T21 I charge 75k, rest I usually charge 25k+
I am thinking of uppin my PH charge from 25k to 50k. Last time I got someone 7/8 DAMAGE slices on 200+ bone PH's (two broke 800) they didn't even give me the option to buy one off for my slicer which is a master swordsman.

I build free for friends and charge others 10k for assembly, sometimes more depending on the weapon.

I usually charge 10k for every weapon as long as the customer has every necessary components like de-10 barrels, cubes, agents or something else.

For me its weapon dependant, a scythe for instance with the customer bringing all the stuff is 10k pr blade, but a krayt t21 is more because of factory time and so on

I used to charge 10k but moved my pricing up to 25k recently.


It depends on circumstances.. sometimes I dont charge the person and other times I just charge 10k.

I'm charging 125k + 10k/piece of loot need to factory run.. ie a DE-10 would be 125k + 20k, a T21 would be 125k + 100k I know people on Flurry who charge 250k though.

I'll usually craft based on tips, most people will either pay the default value of a weapon(what a base weapon of the same type costs), or truely will pay me what the work was worth to them. I craft some of the top server weapons so people who appreciate my craftsman ship often tip me several 100k to craft weapons for them, those that don't appreciate my work yet or are new and simply can't typically afford good weapons will usually pay me the cost of base weapons. As long as I get roughly base weapon cost from the I'm ok with that.

Ya I usually charge people by telling them 10k but if you want to tip me more that is always helpful. Other times I will work out some sort of trade where they give me uses in schematic or the extra krayt tissue.

I have had people give me 100k per weapon made and I am always quick to help them out next time they want a custom order job done... The guy that is skimpy and only gives me the 10k or so I might tell that person how I am busy and what not.

Also I have thought about charging something like the 100k per weapon and 10k per krayt tissue or component but I am just to nice. I am getting to the point where I need to up the price so that people tell me that I cost to much.
