There is something to be said about a person who can look past the obvious, and pull the truth from a sea of ignorance. Every time I see a "It costs so much" post I cringe. this is like the fools who bought a PS3 on ebay for a grand, then saying that it was realy expensive. Well If you choose to level the trade the most expensive way, sure it will be pricy, but if you choose to look in to the craft, you will see that it is a flood of cash, yet only to those willing to actualy work it.
Now i agree and disagree at this one...
I agree that the skill has some items that you can make an honest earning off of. No question about that, but its highly limited.
The guns are great for people looking to upgrade, your right, but most people would rather get a gun/bow in other ways, than collect mats/find someone able to make the gun (Plus, most people dont realize that engineers can make guns in the first place, the honest truth sucks!) -
Scopes can earn decent $$ IF you have the schematics -
I honestly thought the salt shaker would sell well, but honestly, I made 5 when i was leveling through that point, and I still have 2 and its been over 6 months since i made them -
The quest items are all well and good to make $$, but once again that falls under need, and if no ones looking for the quest then there is no $$ earned -
If your someone like me, who doesnt have the schematics to these higher level items to craft your basically stuck. I think the real key here, is engineering can be a great way to earn $$ IF you can get the schematics.
You need to keep in mind:
Leveling the craft can be unbearable, and very costly. I have found that I have no use for the items I crafted, and I couldnt even sell 1/2 of them.
I would have to say, take this craft if you like gadgets and want to have fun. Otherwise, I wouldnt pick this craft up as a moneymaker (thats just not what its made for), Your best to keep with the two you have now.
