Crafting... Thats the only "business" I run in spiral knights.
Why? I don't play it anymore so I only use my mist for crafting everyday.
Did I get many/decent UVs? Yes/Yes.
Did I put effort to sell them? ALOT.
Am I angry? Have some shame with that question! Who wouldn't be if would be in my situation?
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/33484 - Whats wrong? Prices cut down alot (3 times)...
Maybe I'm unlucky with person, who really needs them, search?
http://forums.spiralknights.com/en/node/33550 - Alot of same selling threads. Only few buyers...
Do only rich people in spiral knights are buying GOD UVs for cheap and poor/normal players aren't even looking for bad/decent ones to bid on?
Lucky to craft MAX, unlucky to sell MAX. No point trying to get MAX UV then? Or sell it for 1kce then which i can't let myself to do it?
Unique variants... Are they became unwanted?
CE price is rising, its hard to keep profit for current players. Becouse of that they barely afford to craft/buy their own simple stuff or do clockworks run, not mentioning looking around for good UV weapons. Also rising CE prices is scaring new players away. Becouse of that medium progress players have cutted profits.
Becouse of rising CE prices people are getting greedy, they dont buy at all or if they want to buy something they would want it below making costs/buying costs or even for free.
Rich players have everything they want, they dont really care about anything, they just run around forum telling to, how they call them, "CE ranters" to just stfu and go away, since higher CE prices means lees people will get rich and those rich players will stay with 'elite' status longer. It reminds me a little a 'story' about One that made it to the island called 'wealth' and now is making waves so others cant get in there.
Think you just have a supply and demand problem. If you have a great product it won't sell if no one wants it. So you'll need to either lower your price according to market demand or make something people will clamor for.
simple answer: don't craft magic cloaks. you chose one of the lesser wanted armors to craft. wolver cap/coat or even magic hoods are much more in demand. if those UVs were on wolver coats, the max ones would go for double your current prices with ease
They are becoming so rare and undesirable its annoying for the few people like me who want to buy them. I cant even find a ctr vh blast bomb/brandish anymore like I used to be able to, and I will not resort to stupid punch. And I never get good uvs while crafting havent gotten a single good one yet and I have been at it for 2 months with 8 crafts a day.
Agree with Electricmessiah. I am to the point where I am upgrading my old gear to ones that have high end, end game UVs... save up, and blow a fair bit all at once for something fantastic. Even finding a high CTR Freezing Vaporizer (much less the very high I actually wanted) took me near a month, and I know for a fact I used to see one on the trade channel once a week.
I only view rolling on Punch as desirable if the item I turned into 5* doesn't have a UV (very rarely does that happen now), or it has a junk UV (OMFG!!!! Low Fiend on my Gran Faust!!!!! I am so lucky!!!! *SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!*). Otherwise I'd rather save my money and just buy the item I want straight up... I can spend 500k on Punch and get a bunch of junk, or I can save it and get what I actually want.

Why magic hood is cool and magic cloak is [crap]? Only cuz of appearance (look)??
Ok ill start with wolvers then ill be out of mats (will craft some caliburs too). But how i can sell my current magic cloaks with MAX-med UVs??? Damn i don't want to let good UVs for cents and not even sure anyone will take it for 1kce ^^...
[Crap]'s too strong a word. It's just not as popular. If you really need the profit fast, then you'll have to just sell it for cheaper.
I already cut down prices alot... Idk how much cheaper it can go for MAX UV... 3kce? Lol...
I am sure i would take your magic cloak MAX pierce low normal for 1K ce ;-) I guess the problem is, equipment does not wear out, many elite (read long time) players, already have most of the equipment they need. So your selling to the upcoming players, and the game is making it harder for people to get to that level, 6k ce is 20 dollars. I am sure many people like me enjoy the game, just not that much to pay so much for one bit of equipment, and those that do already have it.
Is it possible in any of your experiences, to get an item with multiple of the same type of UV? For example: Player crafts a Calibur with the two Unique Variants of Charge Time Reduction Low and Charge Time Reduction High. Is that possible? Or say, a Blast Bomb with two Charge Time Reduction Lows? I believe it's possible to get multiple UVs on a single item with _________ Damage VS *Monster Family* so long as the Monster Families are different.
All the weapons gain charge reductions with heat naturally: a low at level 5 and a medium at level 10
2 different "VS family" is also normal
@Ciopo lol I got a spiral plate helm curse high for 7k. :) Wolver is more popular, so it kinda makes sense.
@Windsickle no. A weapon cannot stack 2 of the same UV. For example, you can't get a brandish with 2 UVs, where one is CTR low and the other is a CTR too.
All I can tell you is that I couldn't afford to buy it, best I bought was a wolver coat with curse high and that was at 50k cr, I sure can't afford single max/double max, so instead I try to craft them myself with alt account mist when I don't just play with that mist
