ANY REACTIVE GAS can be used for medium warheads. Skevon is NOT a specific for them. They are still not worth the hassle IMO.
WUKs are (use your brain on this one) Weapon Upgrade Kits.
Go read the Penultimate Guide thread on this forum.
FYI pro rifle barrels and 460K of steel is the simplest and quickest way there. Two clicks per item on the same stack: 96xp per item. ALL other items call for the cursor to be moved to another stack which can trip your macro up if you miss a click. This method makes WS possible in 18 hrs or less not including time to get trained. No messy resource hunt for hydron-3. No 10 doubleclicks per item. No problem.
The schematic Site I got the medium warheads off of said it requires Skevon Reactive Gas. lol - You got all up tight and personal in that last message. Hope it was worth getting heated up over.
Now you say do Weapon Upgrade Kits. They give 60xp. In my previous post I said Medal Staffs give 88xp. Why would you want to grind Weapon Upgrade Kits?
Then you say to grind Projectile Rifle Barrels which only give 94 or 96xp. Blaster-rifle Barrels give 115xp.
I guess if you prefer doing the extra crafts and spend more time this is perfect then.
No, if you can understand plain English you'll understand that I was in fact answering your question, of which I'll remind you:

...WUKs give 60 WSXP?!? Please clarify what item you are talking about. A whole lot less confusion. Also, don't you use pratice mode when you are crafting? It gives you little more XP but does NOT give you a final product. So for me I don't have to worry about my inventory filling up or waste my time selling these.
I merely suggested youusing that little thing in between your ears to figure out that WUKs = Weapon Upgrade Kits. Any n00b knows that, except you, apparently.
..and if you bothered to read the rest of my post, you'd have seen that pro rifle barrels > blaster rifle barrels as you need only ONE stack of resource (steel) , and no cursor movement is necessary, thus reducing RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome which is most grinder's concern, not how fast they can do it. It's the tried and tested method of about 80-90% of us on here. Is that good enough data for your "website"...?

I went heavy weapons, sure barrels are only two clicks and you can watch TV while doing it but why when you can score 730xp from heavy warheads and cough out WS in a few hours then watch TV hands free.
The only problem with this is that some of the resources can be hard to find and maybe down right exp, I lucked out and found everything I needed. With the macro I had set up using 9 tools i could pump out a heavy in 13 seconds a tool or less,which is still faster than barrels at 2 seconds per (your good if you can do them that fast).
I guess it comes down to what works best for you though.
One thing which makes the weaponsmith forum not as good as the chef forum is because of people like WerrtZer and Dova. Read this thread. You will see what I mean by this. A thread like this will never happen like that here due to WerrtZer's and Dova's negitive replies and insults.
Thanks to everyone else for posting to try and help and not trying to start something.
The quickest grind method by far is to grind warheads. It gives the most xp per crafting session. If you are on the Flurry server, and want the resources to grind this, I am currently auctioning a complete WS grind kit on the Flurry trade forum. It includes:
50k Thoranium Steel
230k Steel
100k Skevon gas
25k Hydron-3 gas
60k radioactive
12952 units of polymer
Check the auction out at:

How about 100exp every 5 seconds, thats continuous non-stop so I made Master in 4 days about 3 hours each day...The trick is speed with the less resources used, Not how much exp you can make from 1 item that takes you over 1 minute to make...LOL...In your one minute I made 1200 exp..Work Smart

I was only asking questions. WerrtZer and Dova had to add there own special remarks. Yes its a good point that you don't have to move your mouse. But I am looking for the lowest amount of crafts and not the least amount of mouse movement. Sure I came in here not knowing anything. Its why I came here. I have learned a lot here.

Well in that caserun off back to the chef forums. This is a forum for weaponsmiths to discuss issues among themselves on what can be a very tricky craft, especially with all the changes in the last patch. You came seeking information with none of the facts, and with no clear objective. You received plenty of replies and lots of advice (including from myself and Dova) and then you post back saying its not enough? You were pointed to the "Penultimate Guide Thread". This has the knowledge base of smiths that have been smiths since beta but no, not good enough for your website.
You ask for the lowest amount of crafts: you are told heavy warheads.
You find out they take rare materials: you ask well whats the next best thing then?
You are given 3 other options: none of these are suitable becuase they take too long...
You have been treated better than any other hologrinder that comes here with their incessant "OMG how do U get 2 B WS fast, plz kthxbye =)" posts, and you come back in to the thread andrebuke us anyways? Go off down to the droid engineer forum and see how well they respond. Good day.
yes they're expensive. yes they take a lot of rare resources. but with Heavy warheadsI was making about 4000 to 5000 xp PER MINUTE!
somehow, that had quite an apppeal...
