Hello all,
I mainly play as an Architect, and my business partner stocks the Killwerks weapon tent in my town. But if you know Architecture you know it is dying and well I am gonna start doing more and more Weaponsmithy as the structure market dwindles. I have pretty much the best resources ever spawned on my server for most weapons, and have harvested them for our business in quantities of millions not hundreds of Thousands. however this is my intrest in the profession
I enjoy PvP and I play as a Rifleman among other things. I play on the king of PvP servers, and well it seems as though Jawas are a little hard to come by, or at least cost a premium.
My first goal will be to supply the war department if my player association with the best Jawas as can be made without adding tissues, but I also think I will be eventually focusing on this Niche market for sale.
I was wondering if some of you very experienced weaponsmiths could give me specific pointers to crafting Jawas for damage. If there are certain tricks I should enlist to make better components out of the same resources, and then I guess is there any way that you craft differently when making Krayt Rifles. Or is it just the slicing that makes ya nervous.
Oh and yes I will be using max tapes in a research center city and all that jazz.
Thank you in advance for the advice.

I really don't know what to tell you. It's just like making any other gun. Find the highest oq/con Mythra copper and doonium Iron your server has to offer, make the best adv BPHs and adv rifle barrels. For Comparison mine are 20-41 -0.41 and 12/12 -0.32 +19 ideal respectively. From those using 980oq doonium and 930 Mythra I manage to get somewhere around the 236 max dmg mark. Don't recall min or speed right now. Jawa can't be stocked so that's as good as it gets without tissues or capacitors. In so far as making krayt ones, it's a gamble: I'd always recommend someone buy a crate of 25 normal jawas (for much lower a price than six base tissues and get em all sliced. You're bound to get at least one very high dmg slice out of that crate, whereas the krayt version (like all krayt weapons) seems to be cursed with speed slices or low dmg...

oh, and Yes I am aware of the fact that I am asking for trade secrets, so please send me a forum PM with any help tips etc that you would be willing to pass along.
Also just so I clarify, I have been a WS for many months now, just that I have still been actually making my living as an architect ever since launch

235 is the best we can get on Bloodfin with our resources, so I guess I will just plug away at that

We have trade secrets?
I always thought it was, get the best resources possible, experiment damage to the max.
How do I join the trade secrets club?

I would say hang in with the architect. I do not know about your server but my server is glutted with weaponsmiths. Remember that we have jtl comeing out and architects are sure to get some components to build in that field. Jawas are a bit of a hard weapon to gauge. The only thing that sells them is PVP, and they are getting marked as corny because they cut through armor. I sell a jawa once a month it seems, and mine are among the best.
With the armor nerf and the buff nerf and the speed nerf comeing. After a month you will find few buyers. Jawas were supposed to be used as a back up vuln weapon on alot of creatures. Never really meant for pvp.
