Just helping the cause fellow swordsman. Any ideas?

Any suggestions fellow swordsman?

because they have rancor swords using the rancor's teeth. go get some ranged gets krayt, melee is rancor

Sadly the 2 don't even seem to compare in terms of quality though.

/shrug

So..I need to go kill some Rancors'. I guess you can harvest the teeth then...what planet are they on if you don't mind sharing.thx look out rancors cause here i come. lol

rancor teeth make a good wepon bad as of right now i know some one used one made every thing go down from + to hit in all to - in all dont use them this was pre patch to

As far as I know right now rancor teeth are making weapons worse.

Might have been fixed I dunno. I think I read something in the last patch notes about Gaffi sticks and some other stuff having more slots now or something...I dunno, I'm not weaponsmith.


Thing is, melee isn't in high enough demand for weaponsmiths to set out on teeth expeditions and nobody has ever wanted to come with me to go get some...


So either way, it's lose lose..

Oversight, pure and simple. It's clear to me that very little thought was put into melee by the developers; hence the severe balance issues; hence the lack of itemization.

Additionaly, I don't think that they ever envisioned Krayts being farmed and slaughteredlike giant chickens. But that's how it is right now. All you need is a decent firearm and some patience (or an ATST or 3; hell 2 Graul Maulers might even work) and you can farm Krayts to your heart's content. That's what leads to the glut of Krayt weapons we have on the market currently.

Unfortunately there's no equivalent uber/godly loot for melee. We have some vibro motor from Nym's guards and Rancor teeth, but neither item comes within a mile of even average Krayt tissue. In the case of Krayt teeth, it actually makes the weapon WORSE. Furthernore I think one or both of the items replaces rather than enhances weapon components. This means you can't experiment on the items directly.

Yay.

Meant to say Rancor teeth. Not Krayt teeth. Curse the nonexistent edit feature!

Guys,

Are you absolutely certain that rancor teeth and Krayt tissue *can't* be used in melee weapons?

Kyrt tissue, or hides cannot be used on melee weapons period.


Rancor teeth can only be used on... Non-vibro bladed weapons an stun batons. In truth thier is no way in game to enhance a vibroblade beyound advanced vibroblade. I have a advanced vibroblade an it's completely not worth the money to buy. It gives you a higher delay .1.. But a higher minumal damage modifier an cannot go over 176 max damage. An what makes matters worse ADVANCED ore required to make theses drops at incredibly rare rate.

Krayt = Ranged

Gorax = Melee

High speed vibro motors from high level npc's can provice a +20 max damage bonus to vibro units (and thus a vibroblade)
