I would like to get the best weapons to hunt jedi. I'm thinking either pistol or rifle (kinetics right?) Anyways i want that Uber weapon, but i dont want to buy it, I want to get it crafted.

My questions:
1- what ressource do i need (I have ressource kits) and in what quantity for pistol (scatter probably) and rifle (which one laser, trando, LD1?)

2- I have reinforced casing, power cells, some krayt tissue (post-CU), Which one is the best? The stats i have tell me its not the krayt...lol

3-Can reinforced casing be combine with power cell or is this you pick one only one of these component

4- which quantity of these do i need for pistol and for rifle.

5- Whats kind of weaponsmith can craft me this (whats the capped stats he should have)

6- How much a decent weponsmith should charge me for that kind of stuff if i supply everything

7- Finally, what should i tell him; cap the SAC first then go for damage/or speed? Other option? is there such thing like min damage to work on?

thank you

oh and to all the weponsmith ou there (at least on my server...lol) keep up the amazing work your doing...without you guys this game would not exist

I realize you want to be helpful in providing the resources, but IMHO you're much better off finding a MWS on your server that you trust. Meet with the WS and discuss your needs, and let them know which loots you will provide for the weapon. Many MWS like myself have been in business long enough to have the 'best of the best' so the resources would be a needless expense to you. But like me, they also craft custom weapons (with you providing the looted parts) at no extra charge.

alright thanks, well in this case i will not take my ressource kits for this.

so the scatter pistol cannot be made wtih the reinforced casing? is that it.

are the damage of the Feither Weight pistol better than the scatter at cap, what about speed?

The Featherweight has a higher Damage Cap than the Scatter and it has an inbuild +15 accuracy on top of what you get from scopes.

The Scatter takes Tissues or Enhanced Power Cells, not Casings. Have a look here to see what weapons takes which Enhancers

alright just when trough most of the sticky and FAQ

thanks for the help

You might also want to discuss your options if the weapon is for PvP. Some prefer using lower damage tissuesso the dmg line caps outat the point to allow a full damage slice ( I made four Trandos last night for a customer who wanted them crafted like this, getting min dmg545, could get a few more points if everything went perfectly).

Others prefer maxing out the dmg during craft then getting a full critical slice. It's basically down to which method you prefer.

The gun in that pic was a SAC/Dam capped ALR, sliced 100% for speed and has a 33% speed Pup.

Nice Gun

its only 1169, Damage cap is 1184, but yeah is a nice weapon

DOH

The gun pictured is decieving in what it will actually do. Speed only matters to a certain point. When you hit the combat speed cap anymore speed is pointless. I once made a D18 to 0.0 speed with a left over power handler from a Flame Thrower build. Going by the DPS formula the DPS would be infinite, but at the time combat speed capped at 1 second and nothing outside of exploits could break that. Boosting a gun to high DPS looks good in pictures but doesnt translate to actual combat. Any top of the line weapon should a)Cap SAC, the longer you can fire specials the higher your actual DPS is. b)Get as close to or hit the damage cap. Higher damage means harder hits every shot. Lastly c)Reach a speed point where anymore speed is pointless, depending on what you want and if critical slicing works, a critical damage slice will also increase your DPS.

nice..thanks for all these advice..now i havemost of my troubles solved.

here is what i got:
