Sometimes they give it away or will sell it to you at a fair price. You only have to ask them.

Some crafters will even stock up a main and copy it over a few times in order to have supplies needed to help get as much evaluation as possible.  But, do remember they're giving their time, too.

<p>Well, I had not considered making weapons for display purposes only I guess.</p><p>Mine are priced at 20g and are meant to be tested, not looked at.  I guess I can't comprehend people not doing thier homework, as a list of the stats has been posted already.  I did get all the WW weaps made and listed tonight, will do more as I get more mahogany bought/harvested, I cleaned out what was listed.  Also found a weaponsmith and threw 14 incarnadine at him for a pair of weapons, and they are quite nice indeed.</p><p>I apologize if the person's intention was informational, I just failed to catch on to testing by the examine window.</p><p>mea culpa for yet another leap to conclusion without Safe Fall.</p>

home work is all find and great. but sometimes it takes a side by side view of the item.
