Artisan Archive

I have been trying to make them for two days now, and nothing.

I get 30% dmg and some junk, or 30% speed and some junk but never dmg and speed.

I am making couplers

I haven't seen any speed/damage combo's on couplers show up yet, but then again I've just started. It's been my observation that primary stats usually come in the following; Grips-speed, Muzzle-damage, Couplers-HAM. Of course all stats vary and there are exceptions. When I say "primary" stat, I mean that you will see that stat show up about every other combine, with random stats inbetween. (Speed on Grips seems to be 1 in 3, but that could just be my limited experience.)

Of all the weapon power ups I'd say trying to get Speed on a Melee power up is the hardest, since there is only one version (unlike grips,couplers, barrels, muzzles, stocks, scopes for ranged weapons). The melee power ups main stats seems to be HAM.

Of the ranged power ups, I personally stick with only grips, couplers and muzzles since not too many folks care about the myriad of range-type modifiers produced by most of the other types.

I hope this helps a bit.

Peace, and safe travels,

Thanks I tried grips and got one 30.15% spd and 14.85% min dmg. I tool over 30 tries tho. Thats probability .0333, or 3 out of every 100. As I make more schematcs I'll find the exact chance of making one of these.

I am on eclipse server and not a master artisan (just can't seem to get the apprentice xp yet) but I would say that every 3rd coupler I have made has been a +31% speed +16% damage powerup since the patch. This is with a durability and efficiency of 29% before experimentation. I usually don't get a chance to experiment on durability and all ten ofmy pts go into efficiency. I usually end up with durability of 29% efficiency of 95% after experimentation. This give +31% and +16%. Sell those for 200 creds anything else I either destroy or sell for around 100-150 creds.

You can't get speed AND damage on a coupler. You NEVER could. If you thought you did, well you're wrong.

None of the secondaries on couplers are damage or speed. Only the primaries.

If you want damage AND speed, you can use grips. You can get +30% speed, +15% min damage with these. Muzzles can give you +30% max damage, +15% min damage.

Scopes may give a 30% min damage 15% speed, in fact I think they do.

Others I am not aware of.

I should state that you could get speed anddamage on a coupler during the two day period after the big patch but before they fixed powerups completely.

But that was a bug.

My server is cheap.

I sell a crate of 10 for 4000.

My observation is that there's no one set value on our server - I've been selling 30/15s for about 200 credits on my vender and 300credits on the local market, but I've sold individual 30/15s in the Bazaar on advanced planets for 750+.

As wonderful as it sounds to get 400 credits a powerup, I don't believe the market will bear that. I could factory produce as many as I want (buying the igrediants) for about 70 credits per powerup, so I imagine the per powerup price will start dropping towards 150 credits and 1.5K/crate ... but I'm happy for 3K a crate.
