Actually, from what I've seen, smuggler specials and such have no effect on con. You could be a Master Smuggler and newb creatures will still con white to you. Our Con system is broken, which is what I'm assuming this quest is using for concideration...

Correct:



  • Its a rare drop and its supposed to be difficult. The fact that its rare makes it special

  • The dynamics of the quest are for you to discover

  • Im not giving the secrets away for the other ways though....Im sure you guys will discover it...

As far as "all players", I specifically meant "all players have the potential to get it". That means players who spend the time to be a swordsman and want to play out the role can earn the chance to do that quest and get the item.

TH, that isincorrect information. Not sure if you are mistaken, it is a bug, or the developers are not communicating AGAIN, but whichever way you cut it, that is not the case. As a 2-4-0-3 Swordsman, I was unable to get the missions while my polearm was equipped. It was not until I actually equipped my PH that he would talk to me. I also know of Swordsmen who are not at my level, and they say that the mission giver doesn't give them the mission because they are not high enough up in Swordsman.


Now, in order to get it 2 more ways, well, it's anyone's guess, but a hint/clue etc would be in order here (and it would be nice to be able to make more of them, rather than 2). For instance, it's known how to get theEnergy Lance.....too bad I have heard that the Elder in the cave only spawns once a day, and it is camped to no end (a group of people go after it every morning after the server reset, and I don't frankly have the time to do that because of work)....I think I saw the schematic go for $3 million on the trade board.....it looks so nice, but what a joke!


Please don'tmake this a ridiculous item to get (ala RIS,Energy Lance, etc)......


My guess it has something to do with the two folks mentioned in the Geonosian Bio Lab write up, but you never know.


"Bothan spies have intercepted transmissions from an Imperial Officer named Lt. Harmon Vintollo in Kadaara and an undercover Rebel operative in a hotel on Kor Vella named Teraeza Furloti. They both speak of a hidden bio-genics lab run by the Geonosians."


Again, please don't make this impossible to obtain due to gathering the resources, schematics, etc. PLEAAAAAASSSEEE......

Just a tip: cool:


All players can do this quest and will always be able to it at least once. There are also two other ways to get the scythe.








I hope the other two ways don't SUCK. Really TH, why is there a LIMIT on the schematic for the scythe? There is a two limit. NO, that is not 2k total. That is -max- 6 total for BOTH. It uses LOOT drops. Never mind that it is loot not currently in the game.

my guess isthat thetwo otherways to get the scythe would be from looting it, or looting a schematic from somewhere in the cave.

You do not lack the skill, blah, whatever, get an LLC and use the good ole level pumping tactic to get the quest giver to say you're too powerful. It has worked for some of the new quests, why not try it on this one? You don't need the SKILL to use the LLC, its just using the artificial 'level' rating based on your equipped weapon.

The NPC wont even talk to me, doesnt say im too strong or too weak... The quest changes where they tell you whether your too strong or too weak has made getting quests harder, and personally, I like the idea of telling you whether its too hard or too easy, but let us take the quest anyways, if they tell us its too hard we should still be able to get it since we could get a group to help us.

Aaah, thanks for clearing up the schematic on the Scythe. I thought it would work the same as other drops like the Featherweight FWG5 or the Modified Republic Blaster.


Also, for those that cannot do the Scythe quest. I read somewhere on the forums that you have to have Swordsman skills. I don't know if this is a rumor and cannot verify it myself.

three weapons? I have only heard of two, the Scythe, and the DoT Axe from jabbas palace.



"So I swoop upon the foe, and I will slay,
I will hew them into pieces, I will dash them into dust;
Like Baal in his strength, on their rearward, lo! I fell,
And I killed them, none escaped me, and I slew, and slew, and slew."
