Fencer Archive

Doesn't seem to be a busy board, I guess thats kind of good shows how rare we are. Whats the best damage and speed you've seen on a sword?

I have a baton i picked off the bazzar for $500 - hasdamage ??-88 andattack speed of 2.0 !! I think the speed is unheard of, tell me if Im wrong.

If anyone on Starsider can make good swords, let me know! I really need one. The best I have is a x-90 baton, which is good (can do 250 with bodyhit1), except the speed is 5.8(!) and accuacy is -18(!).

Swords start at 24-68 4.4 speed

Curved swords 28-77 4.2 speed

Gaderfi Batons 34-96 5.6 speed (dropped by tuskans this is I think the norm, crafted should be higher.)

the 80-90 2.0 speed Gaderfi Baton must have been a gift from the devs because they only showed up on the Bazaar and only rarely.

My guess is they slyly put them there to entice a few more people into playing Fencers.

But these will be outclassed when the first Master weaponsmith puts together a Curved sword made of 990+ quality componants and maxes experimentations.

This masterpiece of a sword will put that rare baton to shame and only be matched or bested by a Lightsaber, possibly by a Rykk made the same way.

Mid range swords you can look forward to when we find master weaponsmiths.

Curved sword with 40-160 Damage 2.7-3.2 speed. This will slice most people in half in twohits at high level fencing skill.

Rykk Blade 50-170 Damage 3.1 3.5 speed. A touch slower but for a Machette with an attitude you can't go wrong.

Stay away from stun batons unless you are imperial, they just plain look stupid.

And don't skimp on your clothing. You are a master of finesse and motion, wear something appropriate and Individualized to your personality. Flashy or subdued, don't look like you just got off the transport... no need. =)

That is the database I was keeping through the end of Beta on all the weapon stats. Mor epeople will be sending items in as they progress through weaponsmith etc.

last week i managed to pick up a Curved Sword in the bazaar for about 2k, 120-140 dmg, and 2.0 speed /drool. Its substantially increased my damage and allowed me to solo multiple yellows at a time. I'm bribing some of my local weaponsmiths to work melee weapons before ranged, but most are somewhat reluctant. They tend to change their mind a bit after seeing me fight.

250s average hit
500+ on special attacks
One hand hit 2, looking at 900+ and double that or more if against a prone npc.

A good weapon makes ALL the difference.

man..... I need to find someone who makes curved swords on wanderhome.... =) I might have to invest some time and energy learning how to make them myself though...

cheers-

Hmph! I jumped at buying a vibroblade on the bazaar today. Apparently it was the first vibroblade on Ahazi and it costed me 2500 credits to buy. It had such horrible stats (10-59 dmg, 4.0 speed). Yuck. My current [x]sword does something like 28-99 with 3.7 seconds. Need to find curved blade... now!!

Where can you get this sword? Found or crafted? Just curious cuz this is not listed on the weaponsmiths skills. I currently have a curved sword crafted, but it sux @ss compared to a crafted baton. Well let me know, thanks!

Bought a 29 - 109 Ryyk blade last week.

Ok damage...250's+ on most attacks.

110 or so normal attacks (it varies alot).

Paid about 4000 creds and it was hand crafted....I wont pay that much again, heh, looking for a better one now though.

Ok update on swords.

Recently I purchased two swords and had them both sliced.

I bought a curved sword that allowed 50-140 with a 2.7 speed. I sliced that and got me a 2.2 speed curved sword. This thing is a fast monster. It hits so quickly that most of the time enemies with quick attacks (hand to hand, bites, etc) have trouble keeping up. It executes specials fast, and does agood 180-260 damage range without anything added. With Meleehit2 it does roughly 700-900.

Next, I bought a Ryyk blade that deals 58-160 with a 3.1 speed. I tried slicing it but it turns out that it sliced the damageto 68-185, keeping the same speed. The biggest problem with this blade is its -9/-9/-9 range modifier which gives me a CONSTANT -25 penalty no matter how I stand. With this weapon, though I do a good 260-280 average damage and a 1000 damage meleehit1, still does not match the brute killing speed and efficiency of my curved blade. I paid roughly 10000 credits to learn the lesson (6k for sword, 1.5k for travel, 1k for slice, and then some).

Conclusion?

my Curved blade: fast, accurate, reliable

my Ryyk blade: slower, very powerful, misses a lot

By the third swing of my curved blade it would have had an extra swing more than the ryyk blade. Even though the Ryyk does roughly 70 damage more on average, the speed of the curved blade has much higher output for damage over time, and is consistent because of its higher accuracy.

Speed, for a fencer, is everything!

only thing i can say here about 1 handed swords/blades is.... GO GET DOLOVITE!

I have two swords which are close to equel, but have different pros and Kahns... LOL

Ryyk Blade: Damage: 89-197 Speed: 2.7 Range: -9 Health Cost for Special: 56
