Well Valcyn finally found this rareschematic, and I'm delighted to do the honors


Seems the info about the schematic requirementsis already available on the Weaponsmith forums, but there aresome other interesting tidbits I haven't seen mentioned. Range on this weapon can't be experimented. Here's a screenshot during the crafting process.




I can only assume this was an oversight. I used an advanced scope with +41 ideal range to obtain the result I did.


Secondly, this gun is SWEET. I worked out that the unkrayted stats with plain white power cubes would leave it around 120ish-220ish dmg 2.7 speed (with adv pistol barrels, non adv you can work out the difference The finder/owner of the schematic was kind enough to give me one of the uses for myself, so I used some exceptional krayt tissues, with a high velocity barrel, a particularly good yellow power cube (was around +27 max I believe), got a 33% dmg slice, and the following result:




Needless to say, I'm one happy camper! As a weaponsmith who has seen most of the server's finest weapons (and had the oppotunity to craft a few of them himself /wink) I can honestly say this is the strongest craftedweapon I have everseen. Last ditches for over 1000 dmg that can be spammed at the speed cap, and pierce most armor is a powerful thing indeed. So I'm keeping this, and dropping commando to take up pistoleer (already have dirty fighting). Look for me on the battlefields in the near future

forgot to mention, for those that aren't in the know, the main benefit of this weapon is that its damage type is stun, which is a vulnerability to all existing armor, unless the armor is specifically stun layered.

Wow.. that's one mean gun!
I'm curious what type and quality resources you needed to put that together.

Oh.. and I want one!

Howdy;


Well am confused now. I have some Geo Solidifying Agents and was sure they were going to be used in these sonic pistols. The above suggests not. Anyone know What they are going into then ??

Well done Arox, very nice weapon indeed.


If I ever get my hands on this Schem I think I'm going to drop most of merchant, as much artisan as I can so I can pick up pistoleer again.


Stupid Master Merchant/Politician have me in somewhat of a bind. I dont think I'll even beable to do it.


I cannot believe how extremly rare this schematic this is, I am wondering if more people actually have it and don't actually realize what it is.
