Weaponsmith Archive

Well, I've been grinding away like a good little monkey worker for the last month and almost to master. But It's a sad thing when I know very little about my own class. So I'm on a info gathering mission.

I want to make some Grenades. More to the point, the CryoBan for starts. But as I'm looking over the data for the wepon, I see Warhead Effect Booster ( optional ). You I see this word alot. I like optional....seems like it would be like a little treat. But I'm not sure what Enhance Explosive Charge Composition is?

Is it something I mine for, or a drop of a NPC or some kind of random thing? I've looked in all the trees for crafting and didn't see anything like this.

Where do you find/get the optional part?

Thank you for your time.

Short answer: You don't.

Long answer: During beta, commandos crafted their own munitions. These optional components were crafted by commandos as well. The beta commandos complained about having to craft, so all the weapons they were making were handed over to the weaponsmiths. The optional components never made the jump, and haven't existed in the retail version.

Snap! Now I understand. I remember all the hub bub from that back in beta. At that time I was not into WSing so It kinda passed me by. However, now that you've sparked my greymatter, I understand. My next question would be is there any hope of us getting such things? Or maybe cleaning up some of the miss information in the data for such things.

I'd like to bump this, because I've heard of mines getting crafted with 1500 max dmg. That woudl take like a +300% powerup on my anti-vehiculars, and I'm using high quality resources/craftingstation/crafting tool, and even am wearing tons of WS-enhancing clothing. The only thing I can figure is some sort of exploit, or some loot or other item filling this optional slot.

Ive got some of those glands and they are nothing to get excited about add like 70-150damage i think not enought to excite me into making them right away

Sadly I could not coax a klikky gland to fit this slot on the mines, but perhaps they'll work in grenades. Any hey nothig to get excited about, maybe, but if it's a free stat boost, it's a free stat boost.
