Ok i know im taking a risk on this thread, might get flamed, or it might get praised, only time will tell. Making this so we can all have a place just for assembly tips, what to use, what not to use, and how they turned out. Main reason im making this is because my weaponsmith made me my sycthe and it was less than satisfactory, so im sure others want this info too. I used a 25-25 dmg -.4 core and the sycthe came out 2.7 140-298 with HAM costs very hight, 44,76,52. I looted some white powercubes just now but no stats on them, are these stats hidden, or did i get a dud? Everyone please post input on sycthe crafting and loot use.

id like to get and update on what metals are used, because i think the one i read was before they updated it...
here is what i know:
cubes:
white does nothing, but cubes are requiered so if all else fails
green improves integrety
red improve HAM cost
yellow improve Dam
i got both cores and schematic for cores, my best core was around 36 min 44 max, speed 0.7 and ideal range modf 22 (not sure on that) besides that i got solidifying aget +10 dam, what i need are the yellow cubes (the rest i got) and the metal needed.
im planing on putting off my scythe asembly for a week or so till i get all the intel on components and the heads up on how good cores u can loot. also id like to know if the schematic made cores are any good?
i think the thread is a good idea, that way we can know what to get for the best possible scythe, deliver it to our local WS and get 4 great weapons instead of experimenting with the stuff and ending up with one descent and three crappy

Lajak the stats you listed for your core, are they sword cores or reinforced cores? Both are dropping in the geo caves but only the sword core can be made into a scythe. I've looted over 20 sword cores and most are 25/25, none of them even come close to the stats you gave but that gives me hope.
I am also wondering how good the stats are on cores made from the geo schematic, i think the type of cube you use is gonna make a big difference so when answering please list what type of cube it was you used.

Ok what i really want to see is how the cores from the schems turn out. Is it better to put cubes into the schem, or save those yellows for the sycthe? Hmm, gonna see what kinda cores my WS makes tomorrow with just white cubes for comparison, got 4 core schems today, hopefully i will find a way to make these nice instead of the basic 25-25 -.4s i keep looting.

Whats stats do you need on the yellow cubes and solidifying agent to get close to 80/80 damage on crafted sword cores. Also what kind of stats do you need on the resources?
Thx,

I don't think that's possible, I made some with yellow cube, +10 solidifying agent, and the best resources that have spawned on Lowca since release and they're 42-52 damage -.45 speed 9 wound 17/18/17 accuracy 7/7/7 HAM. Finished scythe was 190-330 2.6.

Ok, feel like im taking a step backwards with this question, but u can use cubes in both crafting cores, and also as a powerup to the sycthe when crafting? How many cubes can be used, and anyone know which is a better way to use them yet?

our guild weaponsmith made mine with white cubes (no stats) and it came out sp2.8 179-303 +4 range all 3 and ~45/72/50HAM cost. he said it could have been a little better if he had better steel

Hm.. Green cubes raise "integrety"?
What does "integrety" do?
It's the max condition of the sword. If you used green cubes, the max condition might go from 866/866 to 1100/1100 or whatever.

i havent been able to check my cores yet, didnt know the that not all are usable in the scythe...
what i would like was if one of u could make a new thread posting screen shots of the datapad schematic description, that way we could look at that for all the resources needed at the possible optional "power ups"
good intel so fare, keep it up
