Get 7 identical cubes(and 7 identical agents if available), make a sword core draft schematic with the first and the 6 left over = 6 identical cores.
use the first 2 cores to make a scythe draft schematic and the 4 left over = 2 scythes.
get another 7 cubes and repeat with the second use of the looted scythe schematic

if you are going to sell them, sell them unsliced for a reasonable price.just don't add 500k to the price because you had it sliced and threw on a power up like most people do.

Never sell scythe's unsliced, that's what I used to do until I found out someone was coming to my vendor buying themand getting them sliced and making 500k off of my work.

I sell almost all my weapons unsliced. Sometimes I will slice a crate of weapons like power hammers or vk's and take the best slices and sell the rest cheap.
The reason that I dont want to sell pre sliced stuff is that I dont want to take the risk of getting the crappy speed slice. I also make plenty selling crates of 5 vk's that people buy and then get the vk's sliced. I also want to increase work for smugglers out there who make a living off of slicing weapons for people. I have a maser smuggler so I could slice all the stuff myself and sell the nice damage sliced T21's and stuff but I dont.
I make 500k profit pretty much selling a scythe for 1 million, its enough of a profit for me. I would charge less for them but then people would just buy up my stocks of stuff.

I always sell 'high-end' weapons sliced, regular weapons I sell unsliced (VKs and PHs in crates, they fly off the vendor). Although selling high-end weapons sliced is, to a certain extent, a gamble for the crafter I find that players are willing to pay a high price for a high-end weapon that has the slice they want. This offsets the losses from speed slices, especially on Acklay weapons which are basically not worth very much with a speed slice.

Bad idea. Better you let him risk it than you. I would gladly let someone risk the possibility of 500k in turn for me making however much I make on scythes (depends on the situation).

Had that happen myself, or people just buying my stuff and then increasing the price on thier own vendors, even when their vendors wereabout 10m away from mine...

Why do people insist on called it pre-slice? Pre means before, it's either post-slice or just call it sliced, people understand what a sliced weapon is.

pre-sliced means sliced before
Main Entry: pre-
Function: prefix
1 a : earlier than : prior to : before (premarital) (prejudgment) b : preparatory or prerequisite to
***2 : in advance : beforehand (prepay)
un-sliced means not sliced
post-sliced means after sliced
Of course with language many people can thing 1 thing means 5 different things. There was just a special on the History channel about how there are over 30 dialects of english right now, several of which are in the US.
For this reason (confusion) I have 2 vendors, one "Already Sliced Weapons" and one "Unsliced Weapons"
