Scythe F.A.Q. by Bethrezen
Hi everyone, I'm writing this so there can be one definitive Scythe post. Please PM me if you want something added to the guide, also feel free to post and correct me if I am mistaken, or if you want to fill in more detail. I will update this post periodically. Feel free to copy and paste this around all you want, please keep my name in it if you copy the entire thing.
Q. What does a Scythe look like?
A. Scythe on examine. http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=44515
Scythe on my character. http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=44516
Q. Can I do this mission more than once?
A. The quest can only be done once. However, you can talk to NPC around the Mos Eisely cantina who will reset all of your Tattooine missions. If you do the quest, then talk to this NPC you will be able to repeat the quest. You may only reset your missions once.
Getting the Scythe Schematic
The NPC who gives a quest for the scythe schematic is located at 1390, 3197, at Mos Entha, Tattooine.
He will give you three quests. To be able to talk to him you should equip your most powerful weapon. If he tells you that you are too weak then you probably need to Master the profession for the weapon you're holding. If you're a master and he still says you're too weak there's not really much you can do about it from what I've seen, unless you want to change professions. I was able to obtain the quests with no problem wielding a Power Hammer as a Master Swordsman.
Quest One - Kill a target. Return.
Quest Two - Kill a target. Return.
Quest Three - Deliver an item. Return.
Your reward for Quest Three will be a treasure map. To find the waypoint to your quest right click on the treasure map and click "Read." Then click "Record Waypoint to Datapad." You will be given a waypoint right around the Krayt Dragon Graveyard, around 5600-6200 meters away. Don't worry about someone walking by and stealing your loot, because your quest hasn't actually spawned yet.
Now get your armor on and ride on out to the waypoint...
When you get to the waypoint click on your Treasure Map again. There will be an option to find the exact treasure location. Before you click this button be sure you are ready. When ready click it and you will search for the exact location of the treasure. Your waypoint will update and then at that new waypoint a Canyon Krayt Dragon will spawn, standing right on top of your Buried Treasure chest. Go ahead and kill him if you want, I did and got nothing from him.
A better strategy is probably to Warcry him, open chest and grab Scythe Schematic and just take off.
If you die while doing the quest the chest will despawn and you don't get your Scythe Schematic. Sorry.

Two Identical Geonosian Sword Cores (I will be making a Geonosian F.A.Q. later, in which I will address cores in more detail.)
1 Power Core
1 optional Core Enhancing Agent
And there you have it! Please, ask questions that I didn't answer.

just got one question: why 3 cubes, when u only use one in each core?
1 Cube used for schematic
2 used for the 2 actual cores
-------------------------------------
3 Cores used
Scythes require Sword Cores.
He will give you three quests. To be able to talk to him you should equip your most powerful weapon. If he tells you that you are too weak then you probably need to Master the profession for the weapon you're holding.

Now I have the Scythe schematic but don't know what to do with it. LOL

sabacc1000said on the weaponsmith forum that you need to have the certification for the scythe to get the mission. Might be worth checking out:

Not correct. Did the quest today as a Master Tailor / Master Image Designer/ 0-1-4-3 Pistoleer. Wouldn't let me take the final mission until I equipped a pistol, so I'm guessing it's a CL thing. (Yeah, I know, I won't be able to use the thing—but it looks cool, and I want one…well, two. I want to give one to a friend as a gift…now I just need that core schematic and I can have them made—whee!
