Sigh.. look at the range mods..
Please tell me this one was made with poopy materials.
The speed/damage stats are rockin tho.

The schematic is obtainable through a quest in Mos Entha. You speak with a guy just outside the Starport and he gives you some fairly easy missions. After all that he gives you a treasure map. An interesting trivia note, the map was written by Axkva Min several hundred years ago. Following the map you uncover the schematic as well as a krayt dragon. If you die without looting it . . . oops. Someone lost their map and the thing disappeared on them.
It requires:
60 Rhodium Steel
30 Chromium Aluminum
2 Idential Genosian Sword Cores
The rhodium steel and chromium aluminum is a bit of a bummer as those guys don't have great stats. The Genosian Sword Cores drop in the new Genosian complex. You can also get schematics. I used a schematic. The schematic requires:
50 Neutronium Steel
1 Genosian Power Cube
1 Enhancement (optional)
Neutronium steel has poorer unit toughness than the resources used in normal cores. I used a Genosian Power Cube with +10 max/min damage. It is also possible to get them with bonuses to HAM costs (around -4).
This scythe was the best of two I made. My materials were not perfect (they were each around 30-50 below the max). My initial success was only 12%. Still the damage stats are amazing! It's like a mini power hammer that will hit speed cap at master. The mind cost is a bummer.
I have 11 experimentation points. I had all great successes on the core, but I had two moderate successes on the scythe shown here. With all greats I think I could have gotten the mind usage down to 62 mind. With another experimentation point, 58 (it was going down 3 mind usage per point). It wouldn't be that hard to experiment more heavily for ham or range on these guys. The stats on the scythe before I even spent a single experimentation point were: 120-224dmg, 2.1s delay, 45/90/74 HAM, -15/-29/-15 ranged.
It's not that hard to get one of these made although the schematic is a limiting factor. I will try to get better resources and see if I can play around with the enhancements. So far the only enhancement discovered has no stats on it (which is very odd). I would like to try using these. I didn't use them for this version simply because I didn't have enough on me for the factory runs.
This rocks!
Enjoy!

No, it is on Test Center now, you can expect it on Live in the next major publish.

Actually you don't need to solo it. You just need to live long enough to get the schematic out of its hole.
