Thread: Anyone else have tough time getting Yellow cubes for Scythe?
you'll have to stay much longer than that.
as a master swordsman, i have no problem at all solo'ing the main geo room all day. my only problem is the 60 item max in my inventory.
oh and get a set of stun armor... makes a world of difference
I just buy them off of people. There are so many folks camping that place hoping to get asonic pistol schematic or acklay bones that I've seen vendors with two pages of yellow cubes for 10K-15K.
The FOTM on Shadowfire is fencer with enough pikeman to use the DoT lances. Very nice for me, since I'm suddenly swamped with people who want to sell me cubes, pastes, and Nightsister layers and shards. Let's me focus on running the business and killing GDK's.
I've found that the colors of the cubes don't matter a whole lot. I've used all the different colors. And on all the batches with a few point differences here and there, they were all basically the same. It seems as though Green is the cube that makes the most difference or change to the weapons by increasing the condition to ridiculous levels.

It really depends on what weapons the cubes are used in. Green cubes aren't any better than white ones for sword/reinforcement cores, because the cores have no Condition stat to pass onto the final weapon. However, a yellow cube combined with nice solidifying agent can make a really nice sword core and in turn make a really nice Scythe. Reds are practically worthless no matter what weapon you use them in; they only reduce HAM by a few points. But greens are really nice in Disruptor rifles and Sonic blasters because they really increase the condition. If you have a krayt disruptor rifle/sonic blaster made you pretty much want to make sure you use a green cube in it.

I've camped the geon cave on Scylla for a few hours a day, for the past few days now, and gotten some decent stuff. I picked up 2 identical Yellow cubes with 10/10 stats - Anyone know if that's enough for a scythe? I also got 5 or 6 15 damage solidifying agents. Yellows seem to be really rare, so if you want them bad enough keep on searching and they are bound to turn up eventually.
