Is it possible to make a melee power up that has weapons speed, max damage or min damage as it's primary bonus? I've been try the last few days, but usually end up giving up in frustration. I'm using good mins and can get the experimentation up 91% but it seem usless unless I can get a good stat as the primary bonus.

This is a Reprint of Keh's guide to weapon powerups. which can be found here

this is the guide i've been using forever to make my powerups of which i've been selling almost since Week 1 of the game.

I've reprinted it so i can add a couple of things to it that were origanaly left out.
(lighning and refining melee and of recoil grip added)

Power-Ups at Temporary modifications to weapons. They can be made by any artisan (trust me the artisans know).

I thought I'd make this list up to help some of you sort through what powerup does what without having to check details on every one

I know alot of those on the bazaar are junk (+2% and such), but powerups can go as high as a +30% bonus to primary stat and +15% to the secondary stat.

Secondary stat mod is half of the Primary.
(On rare occasions a 3 stat mod powerup is created but not very often)

+25% damage or speed reduction can be pretty significant!

As far as I know, they all have 100 uses.

NOTE: Some mods have +% penalties. This is not a bad thing! It's a bonus that reduces the penalty by +%. Example: +20% Special Move Action Cost REDUCES the cost by 20%

AS u can see for Melee speed adn damage are not allowed togehter.

hmm... So max/min dmg and speed can never be the primary for melee? That sucks. Oh well. Thanks for the relpy.

But the melee damage and speed was once possibel cause i got a guild member with some. Might be made before nerf.

Is it in anyway possible to get damage as primary in melee powerups anymore?

You can still get both as secondaries. I'm selling crates of Health cost (primary), speed (secondary), and max damage (tertiary) that I made the schematic for last week.

Cool,

You playing as human? U using any skill tapes or anything of that kind?

I play as human with no skill tapes.

Any idea´s of what i do wrong?
