How to acctually MAKE money as a new weaponsmith

[jaydub]

ya the REALLY nice quest weapons kill weaponsmiting.

dont forget at 41 there is a quest you can do in like 3 hours with a group for a gold quality weapon. so who is going to buy a 40-45 weapon green or blue when they can get a orange for 3 hours of work.

i offered to be the guild weapon smith and post level 25 weapons i have only made 2 weapons for guildmates. the level 25 weapons are nice and better then dropped weapons, after that the effort is just never worth it. expert quest is on the back burner for me no way i am going to buy the fluxes i will wait till i am 45+ then only use the ones that drop.

i make a little money off WS but i would have made just as much grinding mobs for grey vendor fodder then sitting for 2 hours to smelting just to make enough weapons for a chance at a blue to sell.

The money starts coming when you get to expert and find the good expert/balic designs. Hint: attack speed.

Covert sword is slightly better than Hannets, and dont forget some people do use two swords Inferno + one other. Personally I like Covert Swords stats better as well.
