We are sorry to announce that the store is now CLOSED. Any previous orders will be fully refunded.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
This thread is in entirety a thread about me selling 2* - and now 3* - items to those people who need them. If you don’t like shopping, this is not the thread for you.
Now, into the thread proper:
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to the Newbie Start-Up Store for the Terminally Short of Cash! We are here to make items for you, without all the hassle of buying recipes and running levels for those materials you really need, and we do it with as low prices as we can afford.
For those who have looked at this thread in the past, we just had a refurbishment, and the store is now all new, shiny and we are now selling 3* items as well.
As of yet, we do not need that many more members, but I’ll let you know if there’s a rush on if you sign up anyway. Shadowracer and I will only need you if we run out of Mist, and don’t worry – that doesn’t happen too often.

PLEASE NOTE: If you place an order for more than one or two orders, please do not expect it to turn up within a day! We have a policy of only using Mist to craft, and that’s why we’re so cheap to buy from.

EDIT: Please send all mail to Shadowracer for now, because I am currently taking a break to help my older brother through the game.
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Now for the wares list. Let’s start with weapons, as that is what is often thought to be the best to buy first.

Swords:
2*: All swords – if you can find it here, and it’s 2*, you can buy it. All except the Wrench Wand and the Edge swords are up for sale.
3*:
1-4. All the Elemental Brandishes (Fire, Shock or Freeze) and the Nightblade.
5-7. The Swift Flourish, Rigadoon and the Flamberge.
8. Grintovec.
9. Arc Razor.
10. Tempered Calibur.

Guns:

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Prices Explained:
If the item you want is 2*, it will cost 750cr.
If the item you want is 3*, it is slightly different: Normal 3* items will cost 10,750cr to make. Items with a “(£)” will only cost 10,000cr.

UVs will not cost any extra; however, if we make a REALLY valuable weapon (2+ UVs, or Fiend VH Swift Flourishes, etc.) then we will use that for another purpose and make you another one.

We are selling on a basis of first-come, first-served, slightly altered to let other people take on some orders by themselves if we have a rush of buyers, as I think will happen when this forum comes back out.

Happy shopping!
Raisinfist and co, the Newbie Start-Up Store.

@Quolophite

Sorry about that, I can't be on 24/7 and already I have 2 orders. What was the title of your order? I'll tell you how I'm doing on it.
By the way, I can only do about 2 items per day (max) (mist crafting) unless I have enough money to buy CE, in which case I will and will craft 4 items (max). Every so often I will take some time and mist to do a RJP run for crowns. Please be patient, I WILL turn out the products, and, before I send the items, should you request the money back, I will do my best to return it (if I can't, I will send along the items I have made using the money as well as the remainder of the money left).
If I don't respond to the 'Money Back' email within about 3 days, go ahead and report me. The entire transaction is made on a basis of trust. If you don't trust me, don't send the money straight away, just an order. If you send an order without money, it will take longer to make, but you will still get your items, and faster after the actual sending of crowns.
If I haven't got to your order yet, it's because I'm serving somebody else - somebody asked for a full Cobalt set, Wolver Set, and Jelly Mail - I've made all three armours, and will make the helmets (and shield if I have CE) tomorrow.
EDIT: Bit restricted due to only being allowed on for 1hr/day, so I can't use my entire mist tank to get money. May start a guild to take orders and make stuff.

No worries, however I would highly suggest you note that you are crafting on basis of Mist Energy in your initial post. If you don't, people would expect you to almost instantaneously craft on order, like me.

@Everyone

@Abyssal-Flamberge Have you ever put a thread in the Bazaar? I did that for Swiftstrike selling, and it was off the first page in a matter of minutes. Besides, you don't seem to have a problem with the 'Long-Term Newbie Gun Givaway' thread. I might put a shadow thread though - do you know if they are permanent, or do they disappear after time?
@Krazyghost I said in the OP, prices are 750cr unless otherwise stated. Please bother to read the post carefully before asking questions, it would stop us from having to tell you.
@Quolophite Thanks for that, will edit now. Maybe I'll put in the 'Pay Later' option as well.

Also, send me a list on whatever you need crafted, because I can't just keep coming back here to look. (That's mostly laziness talking)

I'll be able to make a few 3* items, so send another thing saying whatcha need. (It won't eat into NRG if I do get a bit of compensation, but eh...)

Blacklist!

I am sorry to say that, due to people taking advantage of us for profit only, and not for getting started up, we have been forced to start a no-selling blacklist. We will flatly refuse to sell anything to anyone on the blacklist.
As of yet, the blacklist only has one member. I will not tell anybody's name yet, but, for those who would take advantage of us,
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I have a bunch of 2* bombs cluttering up my inventory; I'd be willing to sell them for 750 each.
What I have available are Freezing, Fiery and Toxic Vaporisers, as well as Blast Bombs. Some of these may be UV'd with damage bonuses - I have long since given up trying to sell Gremlin Low bombs and so forth. Unfortunately, my collection has been somewhat depleted due to vendoring quite a few of them, but if anyone wants one, please let me know and I'd be happy to trade.
I will probably also have Brandishes, Flourishes, Alchemers, Autoguns, Plate Shields, Owlite Shields and Wolver Coats available at some point; they tend to build up after I go on a ragecrafting spree for decent UVs.

People, due to the rapid expansion of the Newbie Start-Up Store, Shadowracer and I thought it would be a good idea to start selling 3* items. Well, WE NOW ARE! I have updated the old OP, and look forward to getting even more people into the business!

Hurr

Though I support the idea of helping newcomers start up, offering them to buy equipment when they start may not be the best way to teach them that they are supposed to learn how to craft for themselves. Have an example:

Alpha has experience in the game, they know what they are doing. Alpha decides to start up a cheap store for newcomers to get what they need. Beta comes along, with no experience, and asks to buy something. Since equipment in this game varies, Alpha relies on whatever Beta asks for to determine what would best suit them. The problem with this is that Beta is new and does not know what would be best for them because they have no idea what they are doing. Beta goes with whatever looks nice. They make the transaction, Beta runs off to use whatever they bought. Beta finds out what they bought is not their style and try to go back to exchange it for something else, only to find out unbinding has a steep cost for what they have. Beta is sad. Alpha still makes a profit and may never have to deal with Beta again, but they are preoccupied thinking that because someone with no experience would have known what they wanted.

I am not identifying anyone as a scam artist or for taking advantage of new people, but think about it: how would someone new know exactly what they want unless they researched it? Should they pay for something because they want it only to find out it may not be what they want to learn from their mistake, or should they know what they want for personal purposes? Not everyone is a clone. This is why I made this thread, to give a little information on how equipment works before they dump all their effort into something only to find out they hate it. I still support the current thread for making equipment easier to purchase rather than have them learn on their own how the auction system works, though I question why 3* equipment is sold other than items which start at that rank (Graviton, Gunslinger, etc.). Do 3* upgrades of something 2* which is already on your sales list need to be there when this is supposed to be to get new people the lowest variants of equipment? Keep in mind when running an equipment sales business that people with more experience might come in and pretend to be new just to get a discount on something. Since you are crafting derpbillion things you are getting UVs. I assume you are not selling these to new players because they have greater value and instead auction them as a normal merchant would. I understand why specific prices are not listed on various items and respect that you have done so, making this less formal of a store; otherwise it would be in the wrong forum area.

To further counter against veteran shoppers I recommend you limit orders taken from individuals to only a few items at once, otherwise people will buy their entire arsenal at you for cheap. Avoid vending items above 3* or this will become a normal merchant thread where newcomer readers will think this game is based on paying your way through.

@Luguiru

OK, I didn't TL;DR that. Thank you for pointing out the flaws, and not seeing them and keeping quiet, because you saying this helps us to improve. I'm not going to do an Ed Milliband and just say that all that you say is wrong, because it isn't.

One thing I have to say about the 'buying their way through', though, is that OOO give them free gear via missions, and gives them several crafting tutorials.

When I started this store up, it was entirely 2* items being sold. Then, I put the price down to 750cr because that is the price which you will get if you vendor the item. Since we are now selling 3*s, I'll say this now:
If you are curious about it, buy the 2* version. If there isn't one, try 1*.
The point is, they wouldn't pay for it.

Our point is not to get people to buy the lowest possible forms of the items. These just happen to be the 3* recipes which we have, and we thought, why not sell them as well, if we are selling ones which start from there?

We are selling UVs. If people get UVs on their own crafting, then we will let them get UVs here, although any which significantly change the value of the item (eg. High/VH UVs, 2+ UVs) will be auctioned and we will make another.

We do not need to counter against veteran shoppers any more than newbie shoppers, just we do not want people taking advantage of our rates. If they buy more than one of the same item, we will become suspicious and maybe ask what they plan to do with them. If it was for personal use, that's fine by us.

I'm not going to put a TL;DR, except this:
TL;DR: Read this post.

Sincerely,
Raisinfist & Co, the Newbie Start-Up Store.

Processing Thoughts of You Always

@Ladestitute: I have a Magic Hood and Wolver Coat you can have for 750 cr apiece, if you're on at the moment.

Unfortunately, I don't have a recipe for a Skelly Shield or Haze Bomb (if you're referring to the stun-status bomb rather than just mist bombs in general).
The other items will require CE in order to create or unbind, and I don't have any of them in stock at the moment. x3

In the case of the Antigua and Bristling Buckler, you would probably be better off doing the bosses yourself, since the unbinding cost of those items are quite high (200 energy for a 2* item, and 600 for a 3* item).

I don't know when people are going to be online next, or whether this thread has died entirely. I haven't seen Raisinfist in a little while. In addition, mailing incurs a crown fee, which gets bumped up when you attach items such as crowns, materials or energy; if you mail to someone who turns out to have left, you will have some trouble getting your cash back.

I would be happy to craft you a Gunslinger Hat on the second of July if you still haven't had a response from anyone else, though. My mist tank should have refilled enough by then to do so for 10k cr. If you could me send a friend request, I'd be willing to set up a trade with you when I see you online. (Unfortunately, I don't have the Gunslinger Sash recipe, so you will probably need to ask someone else to get that item crafted for you.)

While im all for helping newbs i think this store is making it to easy for them they gotta learn that you gotta work hard for the stuff you wanna get. They gotta learn to start farming high profit levels. I'm thinking more of like a discount on all things two stars and below for those who have less than 24 hours of play time seems fair.

To be honest, I don't know whether it's still running. I would not be unwilling to sell some of the gear listed on here, but I don't have all the recipes available at the moment and I only have a few Magic Hoods, Wolver Coats and Freezing Vaporisers to hand at the moment.

Also: Tempered Calibur would be 10750 cr from the price list. It takes 100 CE to craft, minimum.

Hello, Just looking for a Magic/Elemental Hood with UV medium Stun resist (or greater), but I can understand why you'd rather take UV high somewhere else, so I would be happy with UV medium. I know you don't build items to order for UVs, but if, in the process of making a magic/elemental hood, you stumble on this UV, I'll buy it. Thanks! (Will update this if I find it in the AH in the meantime).
