So what's your advice on getting an ultra flamethrower made up for you?
I seem to remember a thread here where things were mentioned on what you should and shouldn't use.

Off the top of my head i recall that 9 krayt tissues are required to make two flamers, and imp stocks can help bring the speed down.

are there any other things?

Ok. There are 3 basic things when making your dream flamer.


Tissue with speed -.75 or better. set of 5 for 1 or 9 for 2.


Imp stocks 1 each.


Make sure the wsmith uses non advanced Blaster Rifle Barrels.


Hope for speed slice.



And DE-10 here, he's the shepherd protecting my righteous a55 in the valley of darkness. Or it could be you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. I'd like that. But that ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin'. I'm tryin' real hard to be a shepherd.

Actually it depends on the server if you want advanced or non advanced rifle barrels. When I make flamethrowers I tend to make them with advance rifle barrels throwing the experimentation in both Damage/Speed (these are tied together) and Accuracy. The Commandos that use me as a WS are all pretty happy on the accuracy and speed of the weapons I make.

when speed/damage is maxed out non advanced barrels are 0.1 second faster then advanced...

and seriously...people are idiots...two weeks a go a heavy damage stocked, krayted FT 3.7s 925 max-ish got sold for 2.5 million......all I could think was WHAT AN ATHROCITY

So are you guys saying that you should stock a flamer?


I have a mws 12pt alt luckily so i make all my weapons.


I have a question...


Would a krayted flamer made with a normal non advanced version be quicker than with using an advanced version?


And would a stock speed it up again?

ONLY stock a flamer with the Imperial Form-Fitted Stock. A normal or advanced stock will ruin the speed, which is already S L O W. Form-Fitted stocks come as Imperial Themepark rewards, so you can't loot them. If you're rebel/neutral, make some friends. :-) And you'll STILL need a speed slice. Problem with using all that uber stuf is that a 14% damage slice makes it all worthless. And really expensive.

Yes the Form Fitting stocks for the imperial theme park adds no ham cost, some accuracy and more importantly takes 0.5 speed off the weapon.
