which powerups do what, and what's the max?

Completely Newb Question here. Where do you get these power ups for weapons? I have heard people using them and talk of how helpful they are. What are the Names of the Powers ups mostly used?

I have no clue which ones are used the most, but I've messed with a couple that I've stumbled across. May not be the correct names since people can change them but I've used Hammerhead muzzles and Hair Triggers. I like the hair triggers because they increase weapon speed and the minimum damage on the weapon. They are helpful and they all have different properties from increasing speed or damage to increasing range modifiers. You might be able to find some on the bazaar, they have their own tab, but those might not be all that great a quality, so you might have to walk around and look for a vendor in a player shop that has them.

Go talk to your friendly neighborhood weaponsmith. They can hook you up. I recommend getting damage powerups for your scatter and speed powerups for your carb. But that's just how I do it.

Skep

What power ups can our weapons be made with our can we add on? Only powerup I've seen is a mind/speed power up.

Also I heard rancor teeth don't help in the waepon as a Master can make better. is that true?

Melee powerups can come in all varieties of enhancements. I've made several that reduce action costs, increase min/max dmg, etc. It's just a matter of the crafter playing around until they get a good one.

As far as Rancor teeth go, I am not sure, as I still have not beenable to get my hands on one, but as far as I can tell, they would be used as an enhancement in a blade vibro motor which could be used in Vibro Knucklers, Vibro Blades, Vibro Lances, Vibro Axes, and Long Vibro Axes. 2h Curved Swords, 2h Cleavers, and Power Hammers use either a sword core or a reinforcement core, neither of which have a spot to add an enhancement to. The only thing I am not sure about is whether you could substitute a Rancor tooth for the sword core or reinforcement core itself, otherwise they could not be used in any of those weapons.

All melee powerups are either Health/Action/Mind reduction with a sub stat of either damage, or speed.

At least all I have ever seen is these types.

I use and prefer a 35% mind reduction and 16% damage powerup myself. For all weapons it is a great boon now that I am master doc. The curved and cleaver are fast enough at techniques IV that the speed boost is pointless, and my powerhammer is useable now at techniques IV.

Sorry, special heavey weapons don't take any pups.

Funny you asked just this.

Cos i spend the whole afternoon trying to make a Max - min damage melee pup. I must have made hundereds I it just doesn't seem possible anymore. I get 32% max or min damage pup, but never combined into a max 16% - min 6%. I made one of those before. I used polysteel copper and polymer. I used the same recources for my try today. But I couldn't get it right. I know it's random, but this is ridiculous.

What i would like to know. Is there any WS that crafted one of those Max- Min pups? If yes, what recources did you use and when did you craft it?
