I've gotten 2.1 speed

And yes, Icofa was the key (duralloy steel, and nice stuff)

I just make the 2.2 now because I've been told repeatedly by people who test such things that ANYTHING lower than 2.2 makes NO DIFFERENCE. You can get below 2.2 speed by using skills, but anything below 2.2 speed on a weapon acts like 2.2 period.

(I don't use the weapons...I just make 'em but that info is from EQ people I've played with before and who I know know what they are talking about. )

Plus I need to save duralloy for advanced barrels /sigh

just VK's right? I know thats untrue on the pistols I craft. If I craft a scout at 2.1 speed and then throw a +30% powerup on it to get it down to 1.4 speed I can see a very visible difference when that powerup wears off. Also slicing it below 2.1 seems to have a noticable difference aswell.

ihe has a shock of 971 (from memory)

The Quad.... copper was 736ish I think..

ut of 1000? nice one there.. hope to see it someday..

The crappy thing is, now VKs are one hand weapons. They can no longer be used by unarmed classes.

No, they're still unarmed weapons.

They just require a certification to use, which is picked up at Novice TKA.

Oh yeah, and I think I have Leviathan beat by an inch

I was just able to make a factory schematic for 31-136/21 knucklers.

35-141 2.3 here, and that's with the advanced vibro blade unit starting at about 9% experimentation due to crappy resources. So these definitely can improve a lot if the required resources can be found with some more suitable stats. Only problem is my factories just started eating my products instead of making them so I have to shut down for the night. Ate a VK and a long vibro axe, so those aren't up on my vendor. Have some melee stuff up though.

ahh correct - i was looking at vibroBLADE hehe oops

Got my knucklers to 37-145 2.2 here... But I' ve been blessed with decent resources on Wanderhome... At least as far as Knucklers are concerned...

I used advanced parts and made 160/2.6 unsliced VK's.

Not to talk like I know what I'm talkin about, because I don't . Would it be possible to experiment the HAM costs down on VK's guys?

With the wonderful new patch, so many people seem to be crying about to specials costs with VK's on, I just wanna know if you can get the numbers down to single digits or teens instead of 40's/50's or higher.

Just a Teras Kasi Artist who happens to be a Musician wondernig .

I just got some great Carbonite Steel and did some tests.

I can now make them 30-131 2.1sec and I even got room for 1 exp point for a great success ham reduction :-)
