Thread: How much do you sell crates of frag grenades for?
Just trying to get a general feelas to how much others sell them for, regardless of server. On Lowca, very few WS stock them, and sadly, they tie up my factories for longer than I care.
I am on Kettemoor. I usually sell C12s (the lowest level grenade anyone can use) for 400 ea (5 uses) or 7.9k per crate of 25 (crates usually only special order). They do something like 180-760 dmg speed 3.3. I also do Glop grenades atm (commando only, acid, ~1600 max dmg, 4+ speed, still experimenting), and will probably charge 900ea (5 uses) or 13.9k per crate, something like that. Then again, I charge less than most WS's for most things.
it didnt say i missed, it just didnt report any damage .. it could be that mon cal just like the wookies are bugged. Ironic since its also the only 2 races that suffer a 3x FP penalty for imperial. So the devs bug our use of grenades too, very interesting...... this must mean.......
OMG The devs are Imps!

I sell crates of frags for 40k glops for 50k.
The reason why i do this is due to all resources needed to make the subcomponents. I know ALOT of weaponsmiths are screwing themselves by charging too low of a price.
Another reason why I charge so high is due to the fact that these are expendables. I am using my absolute BEST materials to crank these puppies out, and it lasts for only 5 shots not like the 30k + shots from a flamer. So each time a frag grenade gets used up there goes about a 75-100 units of the best resourcesI have, just plain gone)
I hear smiths on my server going broke from selling a crate at 5k each andare STILL trying to turn a profit.
Yeah its pricey but having to make 3 factory runs for a load of grenades also eats into my time... again.. another reason why I charge so high.
. Ive really never heard of a demand to do it, but clearly grenades are a joint manufacturing effort that PA's should seek out weaponsmiths for schematics and build their own. Its a win-win. Sure we are missing out on the sales but, we arent bogging our factories down either. Its also perfect for a guilds slicer (so i have been told) as he can slice these prior to use giving him plenty of practice. Ofcourse that negates stacking them all in one crate in your inventory.

I agree. I just don't make them because if I want to sell them at reasonable prices i have to use mediocre resources (and then people complain about the outcome). If I use my best reources, then I figure I'd have to charge 2k a grenade (and then people would complai about the price) and even then I'd be doing it out of charity, because the same resources would make half a weapon (2 grenades = 1 weapon) that I could sell for 5-15k.
Why on earth would I make grenades?
