Tough question

Even tougher because it seems you are asking for the best base stat weapon, non enhanced, not sliced. Even the best of weapons can be ruined by a bad slice.

All weapons seem to reach a certain cap when using just base components. Across all servers, almost every base weapon will be identical, give or take one or two damage points and about 0.2 speed.

The best example I can give for that is the 2.2 spd, 147 max VK. I've heard of some people getting up to 150 max, without a nym motor and near perfect resources.

Most of the weapons I make are enhanced, whether it be Nym motors, Nym Feeders, Nym High capacitors, Krayt Tissue, Spider Fangs, Gorax Shards, Geo Cubes , Geo Cores, the list goes on. Why not make weapons with enhanced components if they are available? They will be more powerful and sometimes faster than regular weapons.

However you live and die by the slice. Since all the weapons I sell are sliced, I've come close to crying many times.

There is no such thing as a "bad slice". When you get a weapon sliced you either increase the Max. Damage or increase the Speed of the weapon. But either way your weapon is still better then when it was made.

The one that I'm most proud of I made today actually,

Two-Handed Curved Sword
Speed: 2.5
Damage 63-250
+11/+11/+11
30/63/36

Eihen (Duralloy steel) with 994 SR
Eciine (Polymer) with a 993 SR
Cores were made with Carbegipa which has a 865 UT

I'm still new but that looks (and works) like a fine weapon to me.
