Thread: What weapons to really focus on making !
thanks for the response, I do have some harvesters out there trying to catch the good stuff before it disappears. Budget isnt too good, so buying bulk resources is really out of the question unfortunatly.
I'll get to work on the ones you've listed.
Start small and work your way up. The simple fact is starting out your resources will not even come close to what the established masters have, and with the market glutted with weaponsmiths. Full time and part time. People will not necassarily even give your weapons a look. While if you start with basic weapons you can always sell them on the bizarre for a decent profit. Here are my picks.
DH17 pistols and carbines. These guns are so non specific its fantastic starting out. You do not even need hunt down an obscure resource. Some decent polysteel, and your makeing very nice weapons. Laser rifles carbines these guys are always in demand and sell reasonably well and as with dh17s they are not gripped by the specific resource ogre except for the link steel aluminum they need. After these I would say dlt20s are a decent enough sell and easy enough build, and if you bothered to master artisan tangle pistols sell quite well. All these ranged weapons above are easy to make not resource intensive or cluttered by specific resources. Perfect if you are just starting out.
Grenades what can be said these will sell. Especially the low lever c12 and c22 with hologrinding still about these happy fellows are perfect for combat xp, and many people will buy them just to grind that xp.
Melee weapons to be honest ninety percent of the melee weapons I sell are knucklers. So that is where you should put your eggs. As with the low level ranged weapons they are reasonably free of specific resources in final assembly, and you can circumvent the motors by buying the lightweights on the vendors.
Resources you want to keep an eye on. Subcomponent resources are by far the most important.
Power handlers osterine carbonate ore irolunn reactive gas good polymer phrik aluminum and diatium copper. Start harvesting these now. There is no substitute for advanced power handlers. They are just that much better.
Stocks advanced is the way to go good corellian and linksteel aluminum.
Barrels just make sure you get the stuff for the advanced barrels.
Advanced scopes take alot of effort to exceed basic scopes you absolutely have to have good green diamonds polymer and chromium.
My final assembly gods are polysteel copper doonium iron duralloy steel. Polysteel is generally a very good copper for conduc oq and it really helps to cover up bad specific resources. Doonium can be a very good iron when it comes to conduc and oq not to mention you need it as a specific in many guns. Duralloy is the steel that almost always has a good sr. Perfect for melee weapons.
