Supply will be a lot increased in pub 12.1. So how much will you lower prices ? (Say what you are going to pay and what the price was before)

depends on the supply and the prices ....
1. An increased krayt spawn does not automatically mean more tissues
2. On Bria, base tissues sell for 100k+ a tissue, if the loot corresponds to the increased spawn - base tissues will be worthless and there will be a ton of uber ranged weapons
3. if 2. if true, then it would fit in perfectly with my theory that CU will favor ranged bichiz given the 7 or 8 back-to-back spawns of uber resources for ranged weapon (bye bye melee 
)
)

hmmm correct me if iam wrong.
lets say that you sell scatter pistol for (could be all from 5 to 15k i gues) for 10k and it have like 150max damage
then you make one with tissue that have now 180max damage and min price would be 110k.
now i wonder how much do you add as work fee + risk for crit fail fee.
and how fast does these things sell.

Can't say I am exactly happy about this. If tissue drops increase due to the krayt explosion krayt weapons will be the norm. Price won't be an issue as there will be alot of tissues about, especially base stat. Why bother to make 'normal' weapons, demand will be minimal.
I'm not bothered about the downturn in weapon prices, IMO that's not a bad thing.

When I first started on Bria, krayt tissue was 30k for a base tissue.
It will probably fall back to that level if lots of base tissue start flowing again.

On Chilastra there has been a concerted effort by most of the larger weaponsmith's to lower the prices of Krayt tissues and if anyone who looted one wanted any sort of reliability in their selling, they have to abide by the pricing scheme. At the moment, its 50K/base tissue, with a bonus for large runs of identicals. I think that the price will fall a little, but not much. Somewhere around the 30-40K a piece mark.

What was the market price for tissues on Chilastra before the krayt boom?

The night before 12.1, some friends and I took down about 6 canyons in a hour. The very next day... I camped their spawn for 3 hours and saw nothing, except 10 other helpless people doing the same as I.

Same. I've gone out with a Ranger two nights in a row and found nothing.

Tempest really hasn't seen a price reduction yet. Good sets of 9 or more tissues are still pulling in 2 million or more in auction. I have had a huge increase in custom orders being though. Since Thursday evening, I've done 2 T21, a flamer, 3 scatters, and 5 jawas. I've been lucky though. The one guy that has had the most stuff made has been letting me keep any spare tissues, including the last 4 of a set of 125, -.6 tissues. Theother guy wanted all of themused so I charged him 150k per gun(a jawa and 3 scatters.)

I do agree to me prices will not change unless the amount of krayt tissues becomes influxuated. I went on a killing spree with my guild and we our FS luck guy looting we got 2 premium pearls along with 1 set of 7 tissues and some scales 2nd run we only got scales and I looted 3 tissues that was about it. But if you have people hunting the buggers 24/7 and selling tissues after a month of this it should come down a bit. As for my weaponry I will keep up the price until tissues come down.

I can tell you that my special order weapon demand has gone through the roof. I think I made 22 Krayt Weapons yesterday. None of which were with my own tissues.
Incidentally, what you guys charging customers that bring their own tissues in for weapons?

I have been charging 10k per weapon made. I might move my price up though since it takes up time. Plus I have about 4-5 guys(people that are not friends) who are always hounding me to make custom orders with some new loot.
I am thinking about moving up my custom weapon price to 25k and then maybe 50k. Or in other words enough that only a few people come to actually get weapons made and they go and look for other weaponsmiths like you and others. I dont get joy out of making unique weapons that I cant sell and I have made every weapon in the game pretty much(NSEL, DE-10s, scythes.. I have made plenty of these) so its not like that is a big deal.
Plus I have had some people(other crafters) tell me that I should charge more. Not because of cost of resources and food/drink but because of time. Time is money and that is what we charge for. The cost of resources that we use is 5k max since weapons take pretty much no resources.
