Exploited? Barring the possibility that there exists some super-secret method to bypass caps and experimentation point limitations somewhere deep within the crafting system, Yes.


If you have seen this weapon in game (assuming it is not your own) I would file a ticket on it, so we might get a chance to clear up this mess of exploited-ish weapons that are beginning to appear on every galaxy.





I support the NGE - NOT!

This weapon belongs to a so called pvp guild, called -X-, the same people from LAW on Bria. Many tickets were filed previously, some of the weapons were taken away, then after the CSR got what amounted to hate tells (lol Clicky) they gave it back ... No idea why they gave it back.




From what I heard Wahee got his toon back. 200 damage pearls still there?

Really? Lets see Wahee = paying account = more money therefore let him keep playing is probably how it's thought through. -X- players pay so SOE probably will let it go.

Secret, Hardly. Even noobs were talking about it when it was going on, and they've taken it away and we all have to abide by the caps now.

There are a few things that could have happened with this hammer. As someone else previously said, it could have been an exceptional/legendary weapon that converted very well. I have a hard time believing this since the damage isn't capped.


My theory is: Pre-CU speed power-up. Power-ups placed on weapons pre-cu converted better than other weapons post-cu because the power-ups allowed the weapons to convert above cap. These pre-CU p-up'd weapons have the stats of a p-up'd weapon w/out the p-up. The same thing is happening with the character transfer.


And lastly, the double-slice bug/trick/exploit that was recently fixed. I still think it was a pre-cu p-up'd weapon.

I proferred the opinion earlier that it may have been a lucky pre-CU conversion. After a PM exchange I am now convinced it's not, but just another example of an exploited weapon in the game. There are many (weapons and exploits), and they still exist.


That no action is taken is yet another indicator of the sorry state this game is in.

It's not been looted post CU as all loot weapons now have 800 max condition.


It's not a pre cu hammer as all pre cu hammers converted to have 104 SAC.


If a crafted weapon is moved to a new server using the character transfer system, it no longer shows the maker's name after the transfer.


It's unpuped, unsliced speed is 1.87 which is around what you would get from a normal hammer fitted with a speed powerup.


So I would say it's a hammer that was transferred across servers and was bugged/exploited with a powerup in the transfer.


However, I have several weapons that have been transferred across servers, all were fitted with powerups at the time of transfer and none of them absorbed the powerup.

Yep devs are allowing powered up weapons to be transfered across servers. These weapons then lose their powerup but retain poweredup stats. Then its just poweredup again. in that picture. Hell the devs may have even allowed the slice info to come off the weapon and it be resliced.

I have heard of alot of weapons like this one recently.
