Do loot a rancor or is it a misson or something where i can et itif you know please rpond i really would lik to get one of these so i can get a better power hammer

Kill rancors. Rancor teeth are used to enhance melee weapons beyond what you normally would, using normal player crafted components.

how do you get one? by looting or by harvesting? Looting I guess...........

I've seen the stats of a THCS made with a rancor tooth and it was nothing to gawk at. Not worth the effort, if you ask me. The results may be more impressive on a PH. Or not.

thanks was checking about this before i go out and kill a rancor in a big grooup even a tiny change will be good enough for me

Have any of you figured out what the rancor tooth is used for? If not do you think that it can be used in Lightsabers because in the jedi academy the princess of dathomir made her lightsaber out of a rancor tooth and volcanic crystals. So its just a thought correct me if im wrong.

Wow, November 2003. I remember those good ol' days, when we didn't know what some loot drops were used for, or if they were any good...

If you seriously don't know, rancor teeth are sword core replacements. They're used in anything that requires a sword core. They make powerful weapons that are S L O W and have much larger HAM costs. 5-50 teeth are the base level. Bile Soaked Rancor Teeth (from Jabba's Themepark) are more powerful and have even larger HAM costs.

I use them to make 1h and 2h swords and cleavers for sale on the bazzar. They don't sell as a rule on my vendor but they go quickly on the bazzar.

In a similar vein, Acklay Bones are reinforcement core replacements. They make powerful weapons that are SLOW and have higher HAM costs. I believe 68 is the base level Acklay bone.

Neither teeth nor Acklay bones have any use in ranged weapons.

Hmmm...I just realized you brought this back from a year and a half ago. Why?

check the original post's date

Ah, OK. As a reference (Lowca), my adv sword cores are min 41/max 41. So even base teeth are higher MAX damage (50). But they are SO much slower than adv sword cores.

For hi-damage melee weapons that don't have speed/HAM penalties, get your favorite Weaponsmith some hi-damage yellow geo cubes and hi-damage goop (adhesive) and make up some Geo sword cores. These make MUCH better melee weapons than rancor teeth. I'm hoping that the CU will make teeth more useful but, of course, there won't be as many around after CU. :-)

I did a search on rancor tooth to try and find out what max damage stats were higher than the advanced sword cores that you master WSs can make... this popped up as one of the best matches.

Hmm... mine are a set of 9 7-108 damage +0.680 speed teeth... I'm curious how they will be after the CU, since it seems like all weapon speeds have gone way down (except for pistols). I assume I would be better off putting them into weapons now, so that the 0.680 speed disadvantage will be reset to the new, lower number.
