Commando Archive

The light Fragmentation grenade cert that everyone seems to have is actually the C12 Fragmentation Grenade. This is the grenade crafted at Novice Weaponsmith. Due to a misnaming of schematics it is listed as the C22 Fragementation grenade. For weaponsmiths who have Intermediate Munitions crafting they will have 2 listings of the C22 Frag Grenade, the first one is the C12 the second is the C22 that only novice commandos can use.

The reason I mention this is the fact that alot of professions requires lots of combat exp which is usually given at 1/10th your normal exp. But when killing things with grenades, you get all the exp in combat exp as well as 1/10th of that in combat exp. So it makes the road to Novice Commando and Novice Bounty Hunter much easier. For you novice commandos you may consider making these, it uses a fair number of resources for your exp and you should sell them fairly well at around 500 credits each.

And for those fo you seeking more combat exp and are not Novice commandos, ask your local weaponsmith about making you some C12 grenades. Use what I've told you here to explain to them which it is. I tested it myself and I am only a novice pistoleer and hit a Scavenger Rat in the head 312dmg, after the fight I also got a pretty fair share of combat exp. Will make getting Melee Defense 1 alot easier, heh.

Bah they are letting other classes throw gernades?

c12 frag grenades are 1/2 as powerful as c22s and have ar of 0, also frag grenades as a whole do blast/kinetic dmg so its not that great on players/humanoid npcs/higher lvl mobs. rebels also get a weaker version of teh rocket launcher as a faction perk, the one crafted at master weaponsmith is commando only and more powerful

Yes, the whole point though is that Grenades give combat exp, you can take out several durni at once for around 1000 combat exp, it's not bad and it makes that 40k exp trip to Novice Commando much easier to deal with.

Am I missing something? I found two kinds of Frag Grenades the "Fragmentation Grenade" and the "C22 Fragmentation Grenade." The regular has half the damage from the C22, but apparantly I'm not certified to use it. If there is a lighter frag grenade, let me know so at least I can look for it.

Hmm, I someone in my PA tested if the C12 nades were the ones that everyone got a cert for and said that he didn't have the cert for it (he got an error msg).

I guess I need to test this further.

The commandos in my PA are very happy with my C12 nades btw, noone has reported them doing 1-10 damage as I've seen posts about on these boards.

I always keep a few crates of nades on my vendor, come buy some. (see my sig.)

Hehe, Starsider is actually where I have my commando. It's where I go to escape the tells on my primary server.

As I said, you need to look for the C12 Fragmentation grenade. They just recently changed the names of them, the old ones were known only as Fragmentation Grenade (both light and normal). The ones dropped by NPCs were the ones that are now C22 Frag grenades and that'st he ones you mainly see for sale. The only problem with using them is that they are horribly inaccurate, I've had 6 crazed durnis chasing me and I can lob a grenade at them and I'm lucky to hit one, and never more than 2. It just makes no sense really.

hehe, come to my shop then
