Actually, the Rantok sword cannot be made, only found through completing the Jabba quests. (it's not that good anyhow)


The stun baton is not available on my server yet unfortunately. It takes polysteel copper and some special crystals. Some servers have it, some do not. I would go look in your servers forum and look for weapon smiths and message em in game.


Good luck!

I wouldn't spend too much time hunting one down if I were you. Stun batons have been available on Kauri for a while now and I still use my Vibroblade...the stats are very similar, with the baton doing a bit better average damage and the VB having a lower Mind cost for styles. The VB also has a better wound chance, and will probably be cheaper since it's easier to make than the baton.

Baton is wonderful for any PvP action where the other player is wearing armor. No player armor helps againist the stun damage of the stun baton. Only shield generators help, and they don't help much.


Againist non-players, it's a toss up... you gotta make sure you examine the creature and see if they have stun resist. From what I've seen, most creatures have the same stun resist as kinetic.. But it will be more expensive... I would use curved sword or vibroblade for main weapon, but keep a stun baton handy for any armor buffs....

Being a Ranger and a Fencer, I have the ability to examine creature armor. At my current fighting ability. (Advcaned Footwork and Intermediate Finesse) I still tend to aviod creatures where the Stun Batton would be an advantage.


There are some Mites on Rori or Tat that have AR 2 which I have not played with in a while.


Otherwisestick with a well crafted Vibroblade or Rykk.

On Chilastra there is a weaponsmith to the east of anchorhead who has great melee weapons. Erafs or something like that.

I was very lucky a few days ago. Just browing the bazaar for a low quality Mk 1 or 2, i ran into a nice chest plate. A tantel, the resists were low, but heres the kicker. It has resists to everything, even stun. I bought it up quick, and im hoping i can get ahold of the crafter, and see if hes able to make a whole set like it.

Heres the real kicker. We are such a rare class to come upon in pvp, nobody ever wears tantel over the much better other armor. The majority hate the way it looks as well. Stun damage is probably our biggest advantage in pvp. I hope nobody messes this up.

heres the final kicker. Tantel doesnt come naturally with stun resist the armorsmith has to add a layer to it to get it. Far as I understand adding layers while providing more protection increases encumbrances greatly. Any master armor smith can make stun resistant layers to add to any type of armors they just dont because they dont have time ti explain why their armor has much higher encumbrances then the competition to uneducated masses.I imagine if you asked for it a masterarmor smith would make you set stun resistant buthow often do you see stun damage.Just a weak pistol , a weak rifle and kick butt melee weapon .Not worth the hassle or extra cost or encumbrances for a damage type that less than 1% of entire player and npc use.atleast not in my eyes.
