All weapons worth their salt are made by at least a 10 pt WS. I share your love of crafting weapons for yourself, but the way to do it is to bite the bullet and go master. I ended up opening a second account so I can master WS with one, then combat with the other. They form a sybionic relationship. My WS makes the weapons, my fighter gets the loot to put into the weapons. Only drawback is the double monthly fee.

That is my exact same story *lol*.

1. Crafting is mainly about resources. So you will need the best resources for good results.

2. For building your bowcasters you should try getting to 0104 at least (maybe only temporary for creating some schematics), if you don't have the points to getting to master.

3. Enhancers like High powered feeders or Krayt tissues add a nice bonus to your weapons.

4. Get yourself a good crafting station and tool

5. SEAs would help a lot. At 0004 with only 5 points you get 8 exp points and that should produce fairly good weapons.

5. Bowcasters are really cool weapons

I went through this same thought process at the beginning of the game.

Got 0-0-0-4 WS, had a master make sub-components, and the bowcaster was beginning to shape up.

Now that I have more krayt, I plan to make a bowcaster with a special adv barrel, a gorax shard (or a good spider), the krayt, and advanced scope. A nice 997 OQ Doonium just spawned this week during our repeat 'Iron Bug' period.

At least I'll be able to use it without any Novice Marksman.

Thanks for the input, it's greatly appreciated. The unfortunate thing is that I can't really afford another account so I guess my next option would be to unlock jedi and use the secondary alt. as a weaponsmith...

Well...you do have one more option. Find a single combat profession that you want to be....let's say rifleman. (Works with your bowcasters) You can be both master WS and Master Rifleman, with 66 additional skill points. You can use those skill points towards some survey skills, some medic skills, and perhaps a littlemerchant skills. You willhave a nice all-around character. You can fight, you can craft, you can heal, you can sale your goods. True you won't dominate PvP, but you can have fun doing your thing, you can still be a useful part of a hunting group, and most importanatly....make your own bowcasters, which IMO will becomemuch better weapons after CU.
