I will skip over the details of how I don’t think the game does a good job explaining any of this but I have materials for this POW x2 weapon, I got the crest from killing the queen, so far so good.
How in the world am I supposed to know what to tip? View similar orders has nothing even when I check other items.
I have all 2 star components except the bolts, should I sell those and buy the higher tier? What stars should I request for the actual item? What do the stars actually do? I haven’t played since shadowlands really.
Did you try asking the person crafting it for you? “Hey how much of a tip you chasing?” “Do you meed r3 mats or will r2 suffice?”.
As for what star for the actual item? The answer is always max, why wouldn’t it be? How is that something you need someone else to answer? That’s just a common sense of do I want the highest quality product O cam get or the lower?

I don’t have anyone to craft it yet because I have nooo idea how much gold I should plan to spend
Then ask trade lf crafter for “x” item. People will say I can do that, then you start the conversation.

Ok, but what do the stars actually do?
That’s the ilvl range of the item. Higher star = higher ilvl. If you are referring to the mats then higher star = easier to make item at a higher quality.
So given I am using that item from the queen, isn’t it going to be 600-619 anyway?
Yes 600 to 619. 600 being lower quality and 619 being the highest quality

I generally try to tip the crafter 10% of the cost of mats, but it really varies, depending on crafter. The best thing to do is just ask the crafter, how much do you charge for so and so.
Remember, you are not paying for the craft so much as you are paying for the time it took the crafter to level the craft, and to craft it at the quality you want it crafted at.

Which includes any Concentration the crafter will have to expend to get it to the desired final quality.
Which is why contracting a craft with lower-quality mats usually costs more in the tip.

I’ve asked in trade chat many times now but nobody answers lol.
I am trying to get the POW engineering gun, I have the 600-619 crest thing and all 2 star mats. I’d be happy with 610 I guess? Around what would someone charge for that and what stars would I need to set minimum?
part of it is your server to, unfortunately. You really do have to make sure you are on a big server for the best gaming experience. My main is on Stormrage, and tradechat is always moving. If I ask for something I usually get whispers from like 5 different people, very quickly.
I was crafting on my alt on Bleeding hollow the other day and noticed the trade chat barely moving, like one person would advertise their craft every 2 minutes. So, server definitely matters.
Once you find a crafter just ask them what quality they can manage with 2 star mats.
Yeah… TBH I personally wish the entire concept of servers would go away or at least become a lot more flexible. Let people move with a cooldown. But I digress.
I will give that a try tonight and see if I can get something
