Thread: T21 Woes
I made my first T21 as a master smith and I have no idea if its really any good , 8.0 speed 300 max damage. I am more than familiar with about every other weapon but this one. I was using the same -.45 powerhandlers, -.45 rifle barrels as I used in the laser rifles that got a 5.6 speed 380 damage . My polonuim iron is kinda crap, woudl this effect the overall outcome that bad? Is the T21 not as lucky as a laser rifle to require link steel alum (got some with 981oq, 900 cond) ?
Any suggestions would help.
It depends mostly on your server resources. Polonium iron everywhere tends to suck (I think cond is capped at 200), and the resources for the T21 are very specific. Perhaps you should try using a non-advanced rifle barrel as it will greatly help the speed with minimal cost to damage.
Currently the best T21s on valcyn are 7.2 speed 131-357 dmg. That's with polonium in the 900ish/140ish range, ditanium in the 950ish/430ish range, gem in the 300s, alantium around 600, and generic metal that's 950/888.

The good news is that Rainbow gems of high OQ are possible. Our server had 930 one time, followed by 980.
I wishahazi could just get rainbow gems at all

stats on t21 are so crappy its almost not even worth making.. if you add up all the advanced power handler damage.. the best results on a t21 dont get that high.. which doesnt make sense. if they want to keep the t21 nerfed they should reduce the amount of power handlers it requires.. because the damage isnt right.
They don't stack. They're not supposed to stack. This isn't a bug, and has been beaten to death many times already.
it has 10 powerhandlers to keep you from mass producing it. They want it VERY difficult to build and therefore very expensive to buy. After all its one of the very few weapons that does heavy armor piercing aside from the limited use rocket launchers and PBC. The adv power handlers call for 5 uniquely named resources, the adv barrels call for 4 and the gun itself calls for 3 or 4 ontop of that.
Those of you on ahazi that have never had the gems spawn:
On our server (chilastra) we went through an 86 day dry spell and the only spawn before that was week2 of the game when everyone had personal harvesters. Everytime someone asked about the T-21 I explained the droubt and asked them if they would please submit a /bug. People were doing the same thing with dolovite iron as it had the same droubt period. After causing a major stink on my server both rainbow gems and dolovite spawned the same week.

I think my problems came from the crappy polonium and the ranbow gems were so so . My handlers and barrels are just fine , they make great carbines and laser rifles , just not the T21. BTW, my alantium carb ore is at 945 oq
But was it ever meant to be the rifle to end all rifles then?
Even a 'crappy' T21 with 300 max dam should prove to be very useful due to its AP, no? Just in the AP you have another 169 points of damage against AR1 targets (469 total).
And players will still need it to take down AR3 creatures.
Just my thoughts.
