Post by Graeme FaelbanYeah, they are tradeskill writs, that do the same as the four kill
something writs. They also pretty well suck in comparison if you ask me.
They get fairly expensive to do, and you lose the items you make, so you
can't sell them to try to make up the cost.
But you get paid handsomely by the dispatcher. 1g 8s at lvl 23 is at least
as much as I can typically get on the market for 10 of the weapons I can
make, and it's much less than it costs me to produce, because I cooperate
with a couple of guild mates who supply chemicals, staffs and pommels.
Furthermore, if I were to sell them myself, they would take up a lot of room
because they don't stack.
I find it much quicker to earn a living as a weaponsmith doing writs and
workshop orders than trying to sell my rather ordinary weapons myself. And
on top of that, I get status and faction points, and I help my society and,
one day, hopefully, when I'm worthy to become a patron, my guild.
