OK my current set of KK's have lot 21 condition in about 6 enemies, they are unsliced and have no pup. Is this normal, arethese things meant to wear out so quickly. The only mods I am running are unarmed CA's and BE clothing, is it possible these are having an effect. Im not dieing or even getting incapped here, so I cant see why all of a sudden my KK's are wearing out

Aye, have that problemtoo.


I don't know if I'm imagining things or something but after pub23 I've noticeditems decaying faster, not only my knucklers.


I have no idea why.

Yeah ADK them if you can, hate to say it but without an ADK you might as well stick with just your fists (eat some burn out sauce, wear +unarmed dmg bio clothes, and take some action regen food/drink).

As much as I hate to say this, those uber weapons do seem to wear out quick. All mine tended to drop faster than my bought weapons. This includes the Urn'sorili soulleacher, and another I got from somewhere. I believe that SOE intended it that way so that people would use those ADKs on something like that. Thus if you wanted to keep it, you would have a useless ADK.


And thus, here is where the SOE is smarter than they pretend to be conspiricy is born

Same Prob, Got a new KK about 3 weeks ago and They are already past the halfway mark.. The decay rate on them is insane. Especially at the price for them if you go through more than the one set you get from the quest.

I lost about 100 condition on them when i soloed the sith in the village in phase 4, I wouldn't mind if there was something craftable that we could use, or if fists didnt have such insane SAC cost, it helps out the Weaponsmiths and gives us a little more variety in the stats of our weapons, lets just hope that the new expansion gives us decent schems and that each toon can get them more than once

From what i have found, (did some standard testing)


Droped weapons loose condition the fastest, (one point lost ever10 -15 swings)

Player Crafted Weapons loose condition the slowest, (one point lost every 30 - 40 swings)

and quested weapons loose condition in the middle (one point lost every 20 - 25 swings)


no idea why.. but /shrug


I use my knuckles the most, (have them ADK'd) followed by a pre CU vibro lance.. seems to work out best for me.

I got mine a few months ago and they decayed BADLY back then too. So the only solution if u want to use them regularly is to ADK it for 12-18M creds (

hehe Anti Decay Kit. Think u get one after playing for a year. I bought mine for 13M I think it is really bad that in order to use this weapon you MUST ADK it, otherwise it will only last several days of hard grinding befroe it is broke!!! Otherwise keep buying them every few days after they are broke for several million hehe

Yeah, you might want to shoot this one over to the Corr. My other weapons dont decay "this" fast.

This comes down to the issue that whilest TKAs dont do as much damage per hit, we do hit a lot faster and so the level of damage over time evens out.


With more hits required to do the same level of damage (as say a slower but higher damage power hammer) they will of course lose condition a hell of a lot faster. Solution could simply be to increase the condition on them to about 1600 or so seeing as we only get one set per player.....and theres no other weapons we can have becuase the devs forgot to give us craftable ones.
