Thread: Scythe FAQ

How come some people say you can make 2 scythes from a schematic, and some people say you can make 4 scythes from one schematic? Who is correct?
Technically both are correct.
The Scythe schematic is limited to 2 uses. Each scythe requires 2 identical cores. So if you had just 4 cores, you would only beable to build 2 scythes.
But say you have6 cores. With 6 cores you can build 2 scythes per schematic usage. You would use up 2 cores creating the factory schematic and the other 4 cores would go into the 2 scythes. Do it this way again and you now have 4 scythes.
Okay, got a question for everyone:
What are good stats on a scythe? Picked up a 1.9 (speed sliced) 313 damage (don't know HAM costs offhand) scythe from a friend but don't know what was used to make it and have been too lazy to do the quest (though I'm not worried about the Krayt; I soloed a Giant Canyon Krayt Dragon last week! Only took me an hour and 15 minutes).
Thanks.

The best that can be made (Unsliced) are about 346 max dmg at about 2.4 speed
I will buy scyth blade schematics or trade a scyth blade for a scyth bladeschematic.
Oh and to the min higher than the max question on the blade schematic thats a bugged blade and you should bring to Atrens shop to dispose.

I'm a Master Weaponsmith on Starsider - I have made scythes before, but last night was the first time with crafted cores - they came out well, so I thought I'd put my two cents in and share the results.
Ares' brought me 5 yellow cubes,6 solidifying agents (i.e. 'toothpaste') which had 700 unit integrity and 15 maximum damage, (sorry, I don't remember the stats on the cubes - just sod agent since I had one left over). I had only 654 UT Neutronium steel, so I used it - my schematic, with all 'great successes', (and hece the four cores made from it)wound up being 42 min, 58 max, -.45 speed, 9 wound, 14/14/14 range and 7/7/7 HAM. The first scythe I made with them had 2 moderate successes, and hence was only 3.3, 190-334. The second one, however, had all great successes and maxed damage/speed at 2.6, 190-334. I was lucky in that my Carbonite steel was very good (923 SR), as well as my Phrik Aluminum (892 SR).

I was told by a master weaponsmith that it is bugged and you can only create the scythe from looted cores. and not the sword core schematic.
I have the schematic and heard that it is better to make it from that rather than the looted ones, so I guess I'm at a standstill until I figure out for sure.
Was this bugged at some point and now fixed? Or is my friend the master weaponsmith just misinformed?
sorry, didnt read the whole thread
revised question is does anyone have a range for hte crafted sword cores yet, i just saw ranges for the looted ones
OK, found the NPC who reset's the missions...
It is Lt. Ogo, he is just outside the cantina in Mos Eisley on the West Side at 3384, -4791
Hope that helps!
