I can't believe this thred has gone on for 5 pages, and it's basically the exact same question everytime. Do people not know how to read anymore these days?
Nice informative post by the way.

I am suprised people are having so many problems finding the geo loot needed. I have back packs full of cores,cubes, schematics and paste from me and a buddy just grinding oneprofession in the caves. Maybe the loot rate has dropped a ton?

OK, I read the FAQ it says you need 5 yellow power cubes to make two good scythes, I was talking to a WS yesterday he said i needed 7. Now i dont know if things have changed since the thread is so old already.... So do I need 5 or 7?
By the way, I havent looted a single yellow cube yet, just a crapload of white cubes. Although i did get a very very very good set of 5 Reinforcement cores

i'm uncertain whether this has been known widely or not, but the scythe quest can no longer be taken twice. you can still reset with the record keeper, however, the 2nd time you take the quest, you will not be able to start a conversation with the third npc, the spider creature. not that it will refuse to talk to you, but you simply can't start a conversation. this happened to me today, filed a ticket, that was the CSR's response. someone in-game said that this was 'fixed' with pub 9.

please ignore my previous post. after the CSR told me that the quest cannot be done twice, i let it go for a few hours. then while i was back on tat looking for hermit quest npcs, i decided to give it another go. i went to the spawn, but the spider had disappeared. went back to the quest giver and told him to do it himself. then i asked him again and he gave the third quest (again). went to the spider and voila! the rest went as it should. thanks to the CSR for giving false info. my apologies for the my previous post.

Do most weaponsmiths already have the Geonosian sword core schematic, or is it like the Scythe schematic and is a rareity too? I'm looking to build an "ideal" scythe, by gathering all the materials and providing them to a weaponsmith.
So what goodies should I bring to the weaponsmith, and what would he normall already have?
I'm thinking I'll have to provide the yellow cubes, the toothpaste, the scythe schematic, and possibly the sword core schematic. Anything else? Will they already have the metals, or should I buy that as well? And if I need to buy them, what quantities are needed to build the scythe?

Just like Joshua, apparently my crate spawned inside a rock right next to the Krayt. I hadnt't read about the quest since it went live, thought perhaps it was changed to slaying the dragon and looting the corpse. No such thing, couldn't see anything inside the rock... 
Will fill in a bug report next time I'm ingame, this should be pretty easy to correct.

Im a WS and I created this to help with the loot requirements, why and to provide some examples of what scythe you get based on loot input / materials used :
