hi all, i have the schematic for the scythe, so went to geolabs to get some power cubes. i've ended up with 5or6 Red Power cubes and a Geo sword core schematic. my questions are....
1) how many power cubes are needed in making the scythe?
2) what powercubes are better, White, Yellow, or Red?
3) does the scythe need sword core? If so would giving/selling the geo sword core schematic to the weaponsmith be a good idea?
4) anything else needed in making the scythe?

1.You need 5 cubes/solidifying agents to get 2 scythes from one schematic.
2. Go for Yellow cubes because they will give extra dmg, white ones doesnt give anything, greens gives extra condition and red ones reduced ham costs if i remember right.
3. Schematic,5 cubes,5 solidifying agents is all what you need, weaponsmith should have rest needed stuff to make you scythes.
4. Thats all

If you can get two sets of 7 cubes and two sets of 7 agents then you would be able to get four Scythes from the schematic. Considering you can only get two schematics, you should try to maximize the number of Scythes.
Yellow cubes are the best, but they are also the hardest to find. Green cubes only add condition for sonic blaster pistols and disruptor rifles, not for Scythes. White cubes aren't horrible to use though. Using white cubes and base +10 max damage agents, I can make Scythes that come out about 324 or 325 max damage with 2.5 or 2.6 speed.

Use only yellow cubes in scythes. Base yellow cubes are min 10 max 10 damage and 3% effectiveness. Base solid agents are max 10 dmg, Integrity 500.
You can find better cubes and solid agents if you search or camp the geos for any length of time. My last scythes were made with max 14 paste/710 integrity and min14/max18 yellow cubes. Scythes came out at 346 max damage unsliced, and 462/422 after slicing.

Read the post earlier...greens dont carry over condition on PHs and swords. You might as well use a white. Greens are for ranged weapons.

There are some lootable exceptional cores too... look for the yellow type.

So, other than cubes and solidifying agents, no other loots can be used in the crafting process? (like ackley bones, etc)..

You could use rancor teeth, but you'd get terribly low min damage! I made a batch of 4 scythes recently with 22-16 cubes and +17/850 agents which made 55-59 -0.56 cores (I think it was capped), unfortunately due to the best resources avaiable on Lowca, and results 2.6 203-337, 2.6 200-333, 2x 2.7 188-328 (both had moderate success and crit fail).
