I've been selling them for months now but the last couple of days it seems to slow down.

Maybe most people have jedi now?

Or maybe it's only silence before an other storm that my vendor gets cleared in a couple days?

My grenades sales have also been slower than usual the last couple of days. I'm betting it's just one of those freak lulls in business that happens every so often. Maybe with bases fixed people are spending some time doing PvP instead of grinding Jedi.

On my server I know at least 3 new weaponsmiths grinded weaponsmith recently just to supply grenades, I would suspect this is the same on most servers.


Probably most of the grinders are jedi by now too.

Yes, so if the devs nerf nade grinding, it'd be kinda stupid because the majority's done anyways.

I recently decided to specialize in grenades because I actually enjoy making them (so much more so han anything else). I'm finding that my sales are steady and have started to pick up. One tier of customersare gone (have become Jedi) but there seem to be lots more Commando and jedi grinders coming through.


I also put a factory run each of speed and damage pups on my grenades vendor. Speed pups are still the best seller.

Well who know how good a Commando and his Grenades are after the Combat Revamp? Maybe sales will increase then again.

Speed pups for grenades? Tell your customers to get damage pups instead because speed is bugged on grenades. No matter the speed on the grenades or your skill,actualspeed is same (think it is 9 sec).

I looked again about my pup sales - I'm out of damage, not speed. I'll be making damage pups from now on!

As of last night it's been three days since I've sold any grenades. This sudden drop off is most unusual.

Same for me Slim.. I do know that three of my biggest customers unlocked, so I'm sure that has
something to do with it.. Oh well, I hate making them anyways

Maybe it's because the village phase is nearing an end?? It always seems to tail off a bit then.

I have found that my sales will lull during the week and pick up dramatically on friday. Sometimes they go as fast as I can fill it, other times I have logged feeling good that I have 70+ crates on there with another 120 crates cooking only to find the next night when I log in that it was cleaned out by one guy right after I logged. I actually had one guy apologize for cleaning out the vendor of everything I run 14 factories and sometimes they cant even keep up with the demand. In fact this week has been better then average for sales. I won't slow down production until I have a surplus of probably 500+ crates for sale. Its not like they have a shelf life

I'm not that worried. My grenade sales usually drop off a week or so before the phase shifts (which is quite useful, as it gives me time to catch up on production).


As soon as the phase shifts, I have trouble keeping up with demand
