Are they even possible? I have not seen them on any of the vendors I ususally visit. If anybodyhas them on a vendor oris availableto make me a couple crates, say 10, I would be most happy and appreciative. I would even pay you.

Contact Xiran on bloodfin if you can help me.

I've yet to see conclusive evidence of max damage as a primary attribute. This query comes up time and time again and the consensus is that we cannot craft max damage into melee weapon power-ups as the main attribute, which might explain why you haven't seen any.

The only type I seem to be able to sell on a regular basis are the mind cost / max damage ones for VK's, and while they lasted I had a schematic for mind cost / max damage / min damage ones, but not for lack of effort have been unable to reproduce.

Gracias.

That is what I needed to know. Why can ranged powerups have Max Dmg as a primary then and Melee cannot?

One of the reasons that people assume we can make max damage melee is down to the fact that we have max damage on the ranged weapon counterpart.

/shrug Dev's logic again.

As an aside as I see your sig, we are able to substitute the mind cost with health cost or action reduction. I forget which HAM bar swordsman depletes but I have had some business before from swordsmen who have requested that type with max damage on the secondary (I'm assuming they don't bother with buffs, else there's no point really is there).

Max damage is not a possible attribute for the primary attribute of a melee weapon powerup. Search for Weapon Powerups, you'll find a good long post describing all the possible combinations of powerups and their frequency of occurance when crafting. Max damage is only possible as a secondary attribute on a melee powerup, which caps it at about 16% max.

(edited to leave out telling you to go to the Artisan forum, I thought this was in my home galaxy forum at first.

Being a swordsman is murder on the mind, both to the victim and the user. But I own stock in a Brandy dealer so it is not a real factor. I was just hoping to get my powerhammer up to 800dmg.

Thanks for all your help guys.
