Weaponsmith Archive

I am a very busy master weaponsmith, i sell alot and i repair even more then i sell, taking that into consideration i had a guy come up to me the other day, he gave me 3 weapons, 1 was 120/900, the other two were still in pretty good condition like 650/900 and 768/919, now i make repair to all 3 weapons. The weapon that was 120/900 completely repaired and was now 850/850, but the other two weapons when i repaired them, BOTH of them failed to repair and were reduced to total crap. HOW the hell does this constitute a bonus to weaponsmiths repairing weapons?

That doesn't mean it's broken.

i will agree that i fail less then i did before the patch we were supposed to get the bonus in, but still the failure rate is astronomical, i use 99.3% tools, master WS and i still fail, im sorry but there needs to be some sort of level to when a weapon can actually fall apart, like if a weapon goes 10% of its max condition it could fall apart, but anything above that the weapon should either repair with a hit to its max condition, rite now its just too much of a crap shoot when repairing weapons....and repairs can make and break a weaponsmiths reputation. If someone gives me a weapon someone else made for them that contains krayt tissue, that weapon wasnt cheap for them to buy and its very important to them, if i repair it and fail with the weapon at like 400/800 they just lost that weapon, even tho that person wasn buying from me, how much do you bet that person will never refer anyone to me for a weapon? prolly never

There either needs to be a set point where a weapon could fall apart, EI. condition below 10% adds a 30% chance the weapon would fall apart, or there needs to actually be a weapon repair skill that is checked when a weapon is repaired, cause rite now at the moment, i dont even want to repair my own weapons cause im affraid the weapon repair craps game im playing is gonna come up with snake eyes and destroy a weapon that really shouldnt have been destroyed

grrr this isnt my whole post, read the one that is complete, stupid forums

please refer to the completed thread, somehow i got 3 posts and two of them are incomplete

I don't repair weapons at all. It's just not worth getting all my customer's mad at me. Easier to explain that I won't do it than it is to explain why a master weaponsmith just destroyed their kryatt t21 that was only missing 100 points off the condition.

Personally, I'd like to see something from the Devs on this. since it is not obvious
what our bonuses our, I give them a shot, but I would rather give this business to
some grinding WS if being master doesn't provide a bonus.

I also don't repair weapons that are 700/900. With a 'minor blemish' they've
only gained 150 condition, what is the point?

I'm about 10 out 12 post patch.
