I will be mastering Weaponsmithing in another day or 2 and am building my resource stock up.

I play on Sunrunner.

Heheh, I've seen them being sold for tens of thousands of creds - always depends on who you are dealing with and how many they have available.


Now, as for a good price,I'd say 5 credits per each Tissue is a good price - unfortunately I haven't been able to find anybody willing to sell them to me for that price.

It used to be 1k per damage was the average market price for them. With higher damage such as the 70+ and 100+ etc, they cost a bit more cause they are more rare.


However, with the scare of Krayt Dragon nerf being upped on HAM to over 300k, everyone holding on to tissue, so youmight be looking to pay twice as much. Like between 45k - 60k for the 30+ damage tissue.

Current prices are 10k-20k for a 30max tissue up to 1 million plusfor a 205 max tissue. The others are all over the range. I have bought many pistols made with a 105 tissues for 1 million each so the tissues were 500kish. HEre are examples of prices I have paid and sold em for.


Credits--tissues type


10-25k=30- 39max


30-50k= 40-50 max


50-200k=50-65 max


200-300k= 65-90 max


anything over 90 max are VERY rare and will be wildly differnet prices.


NOW these prices will change radically if the Kryats go to the 300k HAM like everyone is scared of.


Not sure yet. Pearls were 200k three weeks ago and are already 1 million just because all the jedis want them--they are gonna go to 2-4 million after the nerf.


Good luck.

want my opion thier is no good price to by krayt tissue, as a weaponsmith (MASTER WEAPONSMITH) why bother i think if you are being a fair businessman then your markup for a krayt weapon isnt that much after u buy the tissue...


if you are selling for example a gun that you are charging 13k for buy a tissue for 25k then ad the 13k back on top of that u added another step and you are making the same amount of money..


i dont buy tissue I either trade for it or i get my guildmates to get me some..


but anymore krayt weaponsm arent worth it.. krayt tissue isnt really that hard to come buy..


if you are buying the tissue then there is really a good chance you are buying from someone who ninja looted someone elses kill or stole it from the group without telling them.. EITHER case i wont support that..



The problem is weaponsmiths have this reputation for being rich and for the early smiths this may be true because regardless of what anyone says they raped the public.. plain and simple..


i make a decent living but i rarely see over 500k at any given time..


everyone wants to rape the weaponsmith.

sony with maintance cost

the resource dealer who somehow feels he can charge 20cpu

the krayt farmer who thinks his steeling is worth 100k

or any buddy who sells enhancements for insane prices..

then the customer who says so and so sells this for less or does 3points more damage then yours does.


bah I say BAH..


if you guys who are seriously looking at getting into the weaponsmith proffession wait till u see all the resources you need and the schematics and the time sink it really is...


the older smiths got rich because they were first ,

some of them got lucky like the ones that could take their at-sts and farm krayt then auction em off for millions its not like that anymore ive rarely had krayt, im always struggling to find materials and get incredible time sinks while checking my harves...


so a good price for krayt there isnt one.. in my opion who cares how good it is, in the big scheme of things it wont effect your weaponsmith business all that much, because the only ones with all the money are the scammers.... most regular folks cant afford though guns anyhow and if your a weaponsmith u can make a decent amount of money..



AND THIS every weaponsmith is rich myth is starting to get on my nerves i would say i run a successful business i always have money rolling in but once everything is said and done every week im always down to like 50k..

Not everyone who ends up with tissues ninja looted or stole them. That is just not true.


I always hunt in the same group of guildmates. We are always honest with each other. We have an agreement to always come clean with the loot you get and to split evenly.


There are others who do steal but not all of us.

While there are honorable Krayt hunters out there, there are many not so honorable ones. My group went out early to Krayt hunt yesterday ,and as we were valliantly fighting a particualr Krayt, a large group (made up of many Graul Maulers and commandos) stepped right in and took over our battle. I live with the fact that there are rude, kill stealing players, but it is annoying.


I will charge well for all my krayt weapons, except for the free ones I give to close associates. Why would the prices be high? Because I deal with less than honorable players while huntingwhich it hurts my ability to get tissues. I only get tissues from the hunting parties I go out with or from the trusted associates that supply them.


There is little I can do except ban the kill stealers from my shop. It won't do much, but it makes me feel better.

Yes, I am part of the small non-vocal minority that will not deal in Krayt tissues either.


I went krayt hunting and saw firsthand how most of the tissues are harvested - and I was most discomforted.


As a Master Weaponsmith, I will not purchase krayt or stock Krayt weapons - I dont need that business, nor do I need to make the fellow with 3 AT-ST's any richer...I am happy to make krayt weapons for the customers that bring it to me - but I will not purchase or stock any Krayt products.

Well you will all be glad to know, as I, that at-sts will soon be PVP only. Not allowed to be used to hunt krayts or anything else for that matter.


About 70% of tissues are gathered honorably I think.

The price is whatever you are willing to pay.


With the increased HAM's of krayt's expect to pay a lot.
