Now that's a tricky question. It's relatively easy to get sets of 7 white or green cubes (which don't add durability in a scythe), and the 7 agents, butgetting 7 yellow cubes is a little tough (until the recent geocave explosion, that is). Toughest is to get 7 cubes and agents with good stats. So while I've made several matched pairs of basic 18x-322 scythes, including a yellow-letter-red-cube (say that 5 times really fast), low HAM set, It's only lately that I've been able to make pairs with yellow cubes. To make the better 340+ max damage ones, I've had to bite the bullet and only make 1 scythe fromone use... and charge accordingly.
I refuse to pay 1mill for a scythe schematic, but then, I don't charge 2mill for a basic scythe either.

But i have one more question can you use looted geo sword cores in the scythe? I mean 2 with the same serial?

Cool because the geo sword cores, sometimes drop in packs of 6 or more
.
What is a good stat for a Geo Sword core (with yellow cubes and solidifying agents)?? I mean what stats of a geo sword core is acceptable to put in a scythe schematic?

yes yes i have read the scythe FAQ and everything but it confused me...hehe, so with 7 identical geo-cubes and 7 identical geo-pastes i can get 2 scythes off 1 charge of the shem?

I had a template similar to that, it was an utter killing machine, exact template was: Master pikes, Master Swords, Master Brawler, 3340 Medic. The damage per second with speedcap on both was just insane.
Oh, and about the scythe, ask a WS, but from my understanding you need 7 of each to get max use out of schem...

U are right...With a series of 7 Cubes and 7 Agents u can get 2 Scythes out off 1 charge...1 cube and agent will be needed by the ws to make a fac schem for the sword cores...each sword core will need 3 cubes+agents(same serial as used for the fac schem)...2 cores and 1 core-schematic=7 cubes + 7 agents....

I'm a noob Master Weaponsmith and I have a question about the Scythe. What should I be shooting for in the way of damage and speed on one of these? I ask because I had someone ask if I could make one that has at least1.7 speed and 500 damage.
Now, I don't think that sounds right, but since I never made one, I have no idea. So could someone tell me what I should be looking for or what the best they ever did was. Thanks again folks!

On Radiant atleast, Scythes made with base cubes and agents hit for 2.6 and low 330's on max.

no way to hit 1.7 speed max 500 dmg...you'd need a pup to hit the max 500 (and a decent slice) and i think all servers have 2.6 speed on nonspeedsliced scythes

wsmithing is all down to the slice - i used +10/14 cube and +18 pastes with the best possible resources and got a speed slice
