most nightsisters are low resits to kinetic only the strongest is not and i am not arguing that that chick needs the be reevaluated. However as most can tell by the volume of hgih end pikes in circulation they are MUCH easier to get than the super high end bones that made thos hammers.


Sure yo uhave to spend Hrs killing nightsisters ( i do this sometimes for fun myslef) but to get this quality of bone you either have to get silly lucky (like could happen getting that supper pike on your first try) or camp the cave down there for hundreds or hrs killing Acklay every 2 hrs and being bored out of your mind for the 1.75 hrs that he isnt spawning. I personaly have killed Acklay many many times and never seen anything within 100pnts damage wise of what went into those hammers

i thought i'd share this post i found regarding swordsman weapons:


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=swordsman&message.id=27269


it seems after killing millions of nightsisters hunting for good pikes, we get another boot up the arse, if by some miracle we actually get a nice pike, its usually half snapped... how come swordsman can craft this type of stuff and we cant??


dont get me wrong, i love pikeman and i'm not dropping it for anything, even with the new Nuke nuckler comming out... but devs really need to get off thier rear ends and sort soome of this nonsense out ASAP.

lol



Its not like that weaponsmith just made a factory run of those. The guy that had them made killed acklay man many times to get those bones im sure and in that same time he could have been killing Nightsisters for his pikes, Dragons for the tissues to go in his guns, Nyms guys for vibro motors for his VKs and so on. No need to **edit** about someone else getting what is in essence a lootable weapon as well he just had to pay a smith to finish makeing his and has no DOTs on it

i have been killing every night sister i see, and can killfor last week nearly non stop and had not 1 usuable pike for my troubles.


i'm not sayign he didnt work to get em i'm saying we (pikemen)shouldnt have to slaughter them to get a decent item, why should we have to rely on random drops to actually have a chance at a nice weapon? from what i hear a swordsman soloing ackley isnt a major feat, and since all the strongest NS are completly resistant to any pikey weapon (other than energy lance) makes it a raw deal....

i see your point, buti'm still peeved that they have regular spawn that drops components even if not all the bones are crazy good...


which brings me to my next point dont suppose there is a guide somewhere to getting vibro unit drops is there? i'm hunting web pages at mo but no joy yet...



and if someone says NS elder's or axvyn myn or whatever her name is i'm gonna scream

lol you could only wish that Elders dropped em. That huge one in the bottom of the NS Stronghold Cave, who's name neither you or I can remember, is the only thing that drops them. She only spawns once a day so good luck getting the people together to kill her before someone else does.

Axhva Min is the only one that drops NS vibro motors, and yes she only spawns once a day, and she's usually dead an hour after the server comes up in the morning.

Also don't worry about those razor knucklers, they are nothing special. They are heat damage which is easily taken care of with average armor (same as kinetic), and they will be rare as all hell. If it were stun damage it would be something to raise an eyebrow at, but as heat damage they are nothing to worry about. Heat damage is useless for the most part, thats why commandos are such a joke in PvP now, their heat damage is totally soaked up by armor.

you cant complain about weapons like that, because they were made with high level exceptional loots. right now your just comparing a practically exceptional weapon with that of an ordinary pike.

i'm not comparing anything... i am saying swordsmen can have weapons crafted that pikemen see maybe once in a lifetime..not sure where you get the ordinary pike part from...


here is way i see it, he has 4 exceptional hammers, from all the posts i have read i have only ever seen 1 pike that would even come close to any of those... and it was half condition and only max condition of 750...


doesnt mater what i think tho wheather is fair or unfair, i'm still gonna hunt out myexceptional pike...


back to vibro units


so no other mob in the game drops any type of usable vibro unit to make better pikes? bah
