Admittedly, I have not done the most exhaustive search of this forum but,I have looked over the sticikies a bit. What I am seeking here is how to best go about getting the next level of weapons made for me. I have some well made weapons with good slices but, I want to start putting the loot components i have access to or see for sale to use to upgrade my effectiveness.
Specifically, I am looking to have VKs, LLCs and Carbines where speed below 4.5 is of little use. I am on the scylla server, if it matters, but, am not really looking fo a smith here as much as the process of getting whatI want. What parts shouldI be looking for to have available for the smithI choose and how do I go about Finding a good smith, getting him to make my order and not be too much of a nuisance to him.
I have gathered from some of the info in this forums, that krayt tissues would be a straight upgrade over whatI can currently get. Are the looted components going to automatically be better than the parts a master who knows what he is doing can make? Also relative pricing on these items could be useful but, i realize there can be a lot of variables.
Thank you in advance for anyone who wants to drop some science on me,

This will tell you the basics of how loot will effect your weapon.

As forgettingyour stuff made, the best thing to do is to find out just how many tissues you're going to need for your gun, or whether you need an acklay bone, or nym's enhancment, and then hunt your arse off!. Once you findyour valueable loot, hit up a reputable smith on your server. He/she'll charge a certain amount to assemble the product, and you're recieving low priced weapons.
Of course I have no idea of the value of things on your server compared to mine, however on Eclipse base krayt tissues sell for roughly 100k each. Good krayt tissues (80-100 damage range) sell for a million + each.High-power vibro motors sell for roughly 100k + each. Decent acklay bones (100 + max damage) often sell for a million each.
Hope this gives you some idea of what you're looking for, don't forget there's lots of good loot to be had in the geo cave as well! (Geo cubes, adhesives, geo sword cores, geo schematics, acklay bones and spider fangs being a few)

Vks -- High Powered Vibro Motor, found on anything with "nym" in the title on lok. Run missions and kill the npcs in the city a couple of times and you'll get some. Takes 1 motor per vk, so have about 6-7 handy for a decent slice.
Carbines -- Form-Fitted Stocks (Emperor's Retreat (imp theme park)), Krayt Tissues. Takes 4 tissues to 1 carbine (laser), same for Elite, less for DH17 and EE3. The stocks are almost a must if you're pure carbineer and not dabbling in BH, they'll reduce the speed alot for a minimal loss of damage. 1 stock/carbine.
LLC takes also I think 4 tissues and 1 stock.
Might also want to consider the High Caliber Riffle Barrel from the Rebel Theme park I think, the range mods are better then crafted ones I think.

High Caliber Rifle Barrel -- Never seen these, surely didn't get a set from the rebel themepark. There are High Caliber Projectile Rifle Barrels, but the only thing they can be used in is Tusken Rifles

Thanks. For the record, I am a Master Carb with the BH Carb and LLC lines and a good friend who is a TKM.
Since you too are on Scylla, anyone you recommend?

I wanna say Haanoverfist, Damisoum, but I'm not sure if Damisoum is still a WS. Reality out of Aiwha and Towelle out of Helios might also be good choices.
Though, go with Haan if you can, he's the most experienced WS on Scylla I think.
