hey all,

i want to get a second scythe crafted, and have either
-the sword core schem with 10/10 yellow cubes and 10dmg solidifying agent, or
-sword cores, 51min/49max -.432

which would make the more powerful scythe?

cores

it's funny u should post this

i just had a scythe made with yellow power cubes

the damage was a little better but nothing spectacular

i got it sliced for 27% damage

it struck me as odd that this one (the scythe made from cubes) was the only of the 4 total i own to get a damage slice, all others were speed

they've all be made from the same resources, cores(where it applies), and crafter

is it a coincidence or does crafting effect slicing?

yeah, thats what i was thinking. i think i'll just keep heading to the labs and hope to find better cubes/agent. had my last one made with 13/12 cubes and 13 agent, turned out awesome (2.6 196-340 +7), but 19% speed slice the next item that got sliced after the scythe got a 31% dmg slice too...

look for +14 cubes and +21 agents and ur scythe are better than crafted with it cores

Or even better, +21 cubes and +21 Agents. I've seen both

without yellow cubes and solidifying agents my cores are 39min 39max so with +10's that would make my stats 59min 59max, your cores are junk, at least on Valcyn.

the cubes will get you a better max damage on it but have a lower min damage unless the person you bring it to has really resourses to make the cubes. Also the cubed one will be faster and less of a screwy range mod.

but ya youill get a alot higher max damage i just made cores with the cubes and paste yesterday and got 59 max damage.

One question . . . .

What kind stats on your cubes and soldifying agent?

---

oh the 59 was using paste that was +13 i believe and cubes of +10 but using just the 10 paste and the yellow cuebees it is about 55 after i finished with the cube

With the stats listed above, the Sword cores would be better in this instance. Mainly because your Yellow Cubes and Agents are only +10.

To the best of my knowledge, using the cubes and agents with +10, you'd get a core that was about 40/40 min/max.

since were on the topic, to make a reinfocement core, how many cubes/agents does it take? and what are the stats on a good non-geno WS crafted one?
