Never seen a Nightsister Vibro Blade Unit. Is the Nightsister loot changing again?

---

No these are drops off the nightsister i think elders not sure about that but they alway droped i think they contain posion dots in them

your thinking about lances and long vibro axes.

the NS vibro motor is used in the enegry lance and now it looks like these VK's. the cool thing is the lance is energy can we be getting an energy VK? the only draw back is ive killed a many elders and other nightsisters to never have got a single NS vibro motor.

NS Vibro Blade Unit only drops from Axkvar Min, (if i'm not mistaken)

yes it is true just look at this

and i will be personally hording night sister vibro's now

Here is a screen shot for you guys. Looks great. I'm hoping it has some sort of particle effect.

Nightsister Vibro Units, as far as I know, drop only from Axkva Min. Prior to this they were also used to make Nightsister Energy Lances. Axkva is quite mean (400k'ish HAM, spawns 6 NS protectors to aid her) and only spawns once a day or so. I've been in on 6 or 7 raids and we've only looted vibro units once. In other words, unless the loot on this changes, these are quite rare.

All along I've thought (for Pikeman) that the loot on this need to be made much more consistent. That seems even more vital now that two professions will be seeking out these vibro units.

As it happens I have exactly 1 Nightsister Vibro Unit left and I will try to get one of these made later tonight. TC is being patched right now, and we've had huge stability problems. I'd hate to have the zone I'm in crash when I'm halfway through making one of these (with my only vibro unit!)-- so for now this is on hold. But I'll get more info out as soon as one of these gets made

FYI, in addition to her 350K HAM, she is 100% resistant to kinetic, so bring your friends. Seriously, she spawns ONCE a day, and there are times you will kill her, and get nothing but credits.....

I've already given up on getting the Energy Lance, just like I may be giving up on this game soon.......argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering that we need to kill the meanest NS of them all just to make these, I really hope they either lower her resists or give us a damage type to harm her. Worst case they don't... I still have my Power Hammer ^^ New weapon looks cool can't wait to now the damage type. Depending on it I may master TKA again not just use it for meditate and defenses.

The new dungeon is on Endor. The main reasons it likely wasn't listed in the patch notes is that its not finished and ready for official exploring or simply that they wanted us to test everything else first

As it stands, you can explore some of the dungeon, and tab around to check out some of the mobs in there, but you can't get past the first door because it requires a key that we can not obtain(see my post up above). You only have one or two mobs you can kill though since you can't go far.

As for the mobs in there, it consists of NPCs wearing Mandolorian armor, some different droid variations(new type of Super Battle Droid for example), and the meanest looking quenker("Mine Rat") you've ever seen All the creature HAMs look comparable to what you see currently on the Corvette, but resists are much lower(not many if any resists over the 50% mark).

But, seeing as how we are only viewing them from a distance with tab, it's pretty hard to say how tough the dungeon will be at this point. It looks rather large in size, so that, spawn rate, and how much damage these creatures actually do will determine how hard this really is. At first guess, I'd say it will be harder than the Geo Caves, but possibly easier than the Corvette, and the resists will be more appealing to all combat professions as they are pretty much equal(ie 10% resists to everything, 30% resists to everything, etc).

It's worth noting though that the Corvette evolved many many times before going live, and was actually extremely easy at first until they made the mobs tougher. The loot also changed over time for the Corvette as well(more added in or tweaked). So, all this may change, especially since the dungeon isn't even official "open" yet. But it looks promising from the little glimpse we have on Test.

That chic is getting her FORCE powers back when publish 8 hits also, so get yourmotors now!

Akiva Min's resists probably aren't too likely to change I'm afraid Pike users have been complaining for a long time that their unique weapon schematic comes from her and they can't damage her either.

Nice. I hope they aren't kinetic damage.

Nice try, my fine friend! The only "new" dungeon on Test is the Corvette, and that's going live tomorrow. The Publish 8 dungeon won't be on Test for a while, at least.

Um, as a player who has been at this dungeon since almost server up, I ask you why would you question it's existence. Ok, if that's not enough, here's proof:

http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=setandget&tp=60842&poll_id=0&category_id=20&warned=y

Min is not balanced. She drops a loot component that is only usefull to pikemen and TKA's and she is 100% resistant to kinetic and electric which are the damage types these two professions do.

If you want to kill here bring your friends because you (and us pikemen) won't be able to touch her.
