ok so nothing drops from lions.... ok so they arent in the game but i have heard to both use Krayt tissue for the best sword mods and use Rancor teeth... i have the teeth can get the Krayt but before i break the bank on these swords i would really like some input. which should i use and what PvE weapon should i put it in? i see alot of people with Ryyk blades and Curved swords and not many with Graffs, is there a reason? should i put one of these into those please any and all feed back welcome.

I have not really played with the certifications yet, this would be an excellent question for our master fencer of the Furry server.


Gafti baton is a great all around weapon, the stun baton if twinked properly can serve to be a very good tool pvp wise, as for the rest im not exactly sure.


One thing i do know, is that this so called "phase 3" from thunderheart mentions that all weapons will be redone, i honestly exspect fencing to receive a big adjustment, but thats hypothetical.

gaffis and vibroblades are great on HAM costs - vibroblade dmg ranges suck though, so most people use gaffis. stun batons are mainly PvP weapons because alot of armor doesn't have stun layers. curved swords are good, but hurt the mind a bit much

personally, PvE i would go with a gaffi or curved (i like the look of the curved sword)

Hi,


I like a vibroblade a while lot more than a gaffi stick or a curved sword. Much like stun batons, I use a gaffi stick just because I have to when I destroy a base, a camp, etc (structures) or when I bleed. Once you get to higher level in fencer profession, anything without AP or stun damage because less and less useful.


Of course, if you can get a hand on auber gaffi stick or uber curved sword, you probably can use them. But then, I wouldn't use them too often because they are rare.


I suggest you get agaffi, avibro, and a sliced stun baton. They don't have to be uber. You might like speed slice at low levels, but once you hit the speed cap, damage slice is more important. You pick one of those weapons depending on your opponents. (Hint: /examine [name])


There isn't this uber weapon for everything even when you are a blademaster so have all the weapons you might need. Besides, the beauty of our weapons is that they are not so expensive. (Horns and Teeth enhanced? I am sure it's not worth a while. You should invest on high Kinetic armor and buff if you want.)

i thought about going with the high Kenetic armor but i have always been anti armor.. i dont believe putting a helmet on should make me stupid if anything i always thought it made me smart. also im going master TKA before i finish out novice fencer so that i have some good Melee Defences to back me up before i jump on something nasty. but where im really torn is which enhancer to use im running around with both Rancor and Krayt and not a clue which i should have put into weapons... though i am leaning to a Gaffi and stun baton because i do plan on slappin the $h!~|~ outa Bounty hunters who think they are god on my server and dumb enough to chase me into an alley way hehe UA KD+stun baton= broken ego hehe

Take this the wrong way if you want.. but quite frankly if you want to start a flame war, go back to the TKA boards... believe it or not the rest of us have better things to do... I dont care if the holo told you to come here, or if you're a bandwagoneer, you think dodge is "uber" ... nobody cares so enough is enough


And as far as the weapons go, rancor teeth are subpar to what a weaponsmith can naturally make if you factor in the extreme ham use that goes with them.

I wasn't flaming Just been a long drawn out battle between two people and I'm pretty sure the battle was waging when this was posted, thats why the rather unpleasant reply I think Raph managed to defuse the situation so its back to business at hand heh On another note... supposedly the high end rancors drop good teeth, but never seen one personally.

Teeth, as far as I have seen, are worthless. Just as the vibro unit for the VB is.



This hurts us in two ways. One - we don't have the same weapon 'potential' as ranged do with the krayt tissues.Two,because the Krayt weapons are so lucrative (they sell for 1 million plus on Flurry as you know Alexius)smiths spend the majority of their time making/experimenting on ranged. Melee weapons are an afterthought.

ok after much rancor hunting and wanting to burst into tears i quickly learned the "good" teeth are only good really for a 2h sword not fencer swords... as for VB motors hehe im running a pair of 45-230 VKs now thanks to getting ahold of a +50 max damage motor... and to think it only took two weeks of 6 hours a day everyday camping to get it.... mommy am i stuck in Everquest? or is sony the devil?

Someone needs to kill rancors with me because teeth are hard as **edit** to find.
