Well I dont know what the resource qualities are on you server, but lets say they will give you a 40/40 core.

To that you add you cube and agent modifiers, so lets say you get
Yellow cube 10min/15max
Agent 10 max

The results will probably be cores like this :
Min-50
Max-65
Speed - minus 0.5 or 0.6

I'm not sure about the ranges and HAMs, but thats the basics. I think the ideal rages from schem made cores still enjoy that big bonus you have on the loot version.

I'm sorry if this has been asked a million times but I have searched and came up with nothing.


1. What are the sword cores used in?

2. What are the reinforcement cores used in?

3. Are the 25/25 sword cores any good ( better than home made) ?

4. Are the 25/25 reinforcement cores any good ( better than home made) ?

5. Are the 40/40 reinforcement cores any good ( better than home made) ?


Thank you for your time.

1. Scythes are the big one. but you can also use them in regular blade weaponry. Best check if they are better than player made though. But for scythes you must use Geo sword cores.

2. At the moment I think these are only used in regular weaponry. No special weapons yet.

3. Not usually, depends on your server and smith though.

4. As above.

5. Very possibly, what are the full stats? This is going to depend on your server again.

There are also loot drop schematics for both these core types. Combined with yellow power cubes and agent enhancer, the resulting cores are usually much better than player made ones.

Thank you for your kind help soar.


I also have two schematics for the geo sword cores. I ask because I am interested in making fencer weapons, and I would like to know if either the sword core or reinforcement cores go into them, mainly interested in a stun baton.


The reinforcement cores i got were


40/40 min/max
-0.56 speed
17 wound
30 ideal range
8 health
8 action
6 mind


If these are better than schematic made AND I can use them in fencer weapons I will be stoked =)

Those cores are very border line, except for the ideal range which is fantastic. However the other two ranges are not present, so you will suffer a small penalty on these. All other stas are probably just about the same as player made. Speed might be a tad better.

Both Gaderiffi and stun batons can take a reinforcement core. but stun is the best for cutting through those composite armor suits.

Your other options would be to hunt down the parts for the core scems you have (yellow cubes and enhancer agent) or get some Acklay bones.

Acklay bones used to enhance stun baton but hundreds of points damage, I saw one with +300 max damage
But the word is they have been nerfed so it is possible they are not spawning above 65-100 now. With no speed modifier it means you will take a hit of about 0.5 speed to the weapon. But if you have master fencer then you will probably be hitting the cap anyways, so speed wont matter.

Thanks again, so reinforcement cores are used in baton/gaffi and sword cores are in sword weapons right?


Soo, I really want to loot the reinforcement schematic, fill it with good resources, yellow cubes and compound.


Would you have a ballpark on what kind of damage that would make the core? I would just like a comparison to the looted version.


You are a big help thanks!
