Architect's make them and for the best expect to pay AT LEAST 120k each.You find em on player vendors or via a secure trade. A good weaponsmith needs Chemical, Gas, Mineral, and flora harvestors. You also need alot of credits to feed hungry harvestors. (I currently spend about 15k a day on my harvestors) Theyof course also need power so you'll need to get either wind, solar, or fusion power generators.

Then you need to keep on your toes every day to survey and get the best reasources possible to make good weapons. Surveying needs survey tools...again mineral, chemical, gas, flora.

Also you need not just weaponsmith, but also Artisan skills. Engeneering 4 and Survey 4 (at least)

OR you could skip it and buy all of your reasources. But at a minimum of 3cpu for the best reasources available, that's not even practicle.

Yes it is expensive.. That's why alot of weapons are so expensive. Because to make the "best of the best"a weaponsmith has to survey and harvest reasources every singe day!!!

However just starting out isin't as expensive as I notedabove. You can get Personal harvestors for much much less to get you started.You can find good ones on the bazaar.Here's a good rule of thumb.. Don't buy anything less than the quality below:

Personal harvestors:

( "BER" Base Extraction Rate)

4BER Mineral

4BER GAS

4BER Chemical

4BER Flora

8BER Wind Generator

These are avarage quality harvestors.. About all you can afford at your skill. As you progress you will be able to afford better ones. Hope this all helps.... Im not trying to discourage you. It's just the way it is.. Weaponsmith isin't an easy skill. Yea.. it'seasy to master it. But to MASTER it.. is another story. =)

you can make your own personal harvesters and save yourself an even bit more of cash.

Need to generate enough cash to buy the high BER architect ones?

Drop some personal wind power generators, they have a BER around 8 or 9, and are fairly cheap if you don't want to make your own.

Harvest plenty of wind power, and sell it at 2 CPU. With 4 of these up, you should be making about 100,000 credits a day, if you are on a high enough percentage.

Ya Xieflow that is a very good point! I will admit I made better credits selling power and reasources than I do now being a master weaponsmith! Much greater demand for reasources.. and all you need is survey 4 (and perhaps Business4 if you want a vendor) On the other hand there is a wonderfull feeling of satisfaction, gradifacation, and happieness knowing you hooked somebody up with a weapon that rivals the best on your server.
