Ok i am working my way up the ranks of the weaponsmith tree and i am at a complete loss as to what i should be selling my wares for.Yes i realize i could run around and check other vendors but they generally dont have everything stocked or they are sliced or uber and i was looking for a base price as such.If anyone knows of a site or some kind of resource i could use to get help from that would be great.

prices vary on every server u need to shop around your server.


Another way is to make up a price, see if the items sells a lot, if so, then raise the price. Go by demend and supply.

Unfortunately as a new weaponsmith you're unlikely to sell anything for some time. It's one of the major issues with smithing, no newbie markets. Once you get your experimentation up you should be able to sell a few low end modelweapons just remember who your selling them to, newbies. Newbies generally dont have alot of cash on hand so price them with the understanding that they need to be affordable to sell them. As you progress you'll find that you can make decent weapons but you won't be able to compete with masters for some time. Making quality guns is about having the best resources available and that takes time to gather.



Given the choice between style over substance. I'll take a sandwich.

I would recommend you look at the weaponsmith on your server and see how much they sell their weapon for.


Given that information, calculation how much it will cost you to make one weapon based upon the resources it needs and how much you pay for the resources per unit


The differences between the price people sell them for and your cost, you could adjust accordingly to meet the supply and demand factor

Dang.. I must be ripping myself off then


I dont sell anything over 10k, flamethrowers 5k, FWGs 2k or so and they all have stats about equal to all the other weaponsmith's things...


ah well


New weaponsmiths should join a good guild and look for support in any way they can, if you're the shy type then you have no hope except to sell stuff on the bazaar in a starter town (NOT Coronet, Theed, or Bestine) and pray that newbies will find them


sell your products for no more than 1-2k a piece or compare to other items on the bazaar.
