Can bile-soaked rancor teeth only be looted, or can you make your own by combining a tooth and some bile. What difference between a plain rancor tooth and a bile-soaked tooth. Sorry for the noob question. I'm trying to learn.

Bile soaked are from the jabba theme park
Rancor teeth are looted from rancors and tend to have alot better stats

from the loot stickie at the top... hope this helps... basically what you were told. As a general rule of thumb, if the tooth isnt greater than 100 max damage, not worth using because the minimum damage is so low. They replace sword cores on weapons, not enhance like krayt tissue does for advanced blaster power handlers. Advanced sword cores are around 43 min / 43 max / -.6 speed.

The majority of rancor teeth are useless cause they add speed and dont help the damage that much. So ya you want to get good rancor teeth if you are going to use rancor teeth. Geo loot tends to be much better.

Not entirely correct.
Master Brawler + Master Fencer is +95 speed = practically speed capped.
A standard Curved Sword is about 2.2-2.3 speed. Cranking that up to even 3.0 makes still a decent enough speed for them, as they'll still be speed-capped at that.
I find some Swordsmen quite like them on 2-Handed Curved Swords too. I mean, even if you mangle the speed *horribly* up to 4.0, it's *still* faster than a Powerhammer.

/wince.
Standard 2.5 on the 2hcurved ... up to 4.0!? OW... Man, that has to be some horrible experimentation... Of course, the damage might be ugly too...
What's the standard minimum on the Rancor Teeth (and come to think of it, the Geo cores too and Klik glands?)

Ya fencer weapons are a great place to use the rancor teeth. Still on base rancor teeth the min damage will be much lower than on something used without rancor teeth. If you are trying to just get max damage up though then ya rancor teeth can help.

The reason it goes up to a speed of 4 is that rancor teeth add 1 to the speed and other things will take off close to -.5 from the speed meaning that there will be a difference of about 1.5 in speed between something made with good crafted stuff and a rancor tooth. Of course if you get better rancor teeth they will add less to the speed.
rancor teeth base stats: 5 min damage, 50 max damage, 1 speed, wound, HAM these replace a sword core
kliknik glands base stats: 20 min damage, 90 max damage, thats all I can remember these go into crafting mines

Uh.. the speed of 4.0 was just a made up "see, even in *this* case, it's not all bad" example.
But yeah, with Rancor teeth the speed can get pretty bad alright.

I have been lucky enough to come across a few exceptionals which didnt hurt the speed of the fencer weapons I made but the damage was in the 450ish range. So keep dropping those rancors and if by chance you run acrostssome exceptionals on starsider send me a tell[AXIS], will make ya a killer wep or buy your teeth

The description of bile soaked rancor teeth kinda makes it sound like they were intended to be used in DOT weapons. Interesting idea, eh?
