Death It's Nature's Way Of Telling You To Slow Down

Well, right now, everyone is looking for max damage so use as many points in the damage line first. If you are using looted items I would suggest drinking brandy and using one point at a time. If you are not using looted items you can use 2 points at a time until you get the result you want.

As far as what to use left over points for that depends on the weapon. For geo weapons you might want to put the points into durability. For nades you might want improved ranged mods.

And since you are new I'll suggest one more thing. If you are going to make a weapon with expensive loot, make a trial run of that weapon first without the looted components. That way, you will have an idea of what makes the best sense as to where to put your extra points.

Death It's Nature's Way Of Telling You To Slow Down

When I used to craft... I used to use all the points up front on damage, and then I'd decide based on the stats of the weapon which would be the best 2nd thing to experiment. In many cases, I just dumped them into Condition.

But don't put much stock in this answer now, with CU coming Live this week. It's gonna be very very very different...

Dark Jedi-- Er, wait... no more knights? Paddy, then. Just paddy.

I experiment all my points into damage at once, if any boxes left I keep experimenting than usually 2 points or more left goes into durability.

Deliveries can be made to the CU Weapons vendor in Surebleak, on Lok (1727 5966) Listen, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses...

6-2-2 was what I found worked best. however in the new system no one really knows yet what will work best so we will have to run some tests and get a general idea of how the exp impacts the final results.

Someone above suggested drinking brandy? I use Bespin Port, is that what you meant? It looks similar.Ohand also you can use Pyollian cake...I'd suggest taking both, especially when making weapons with high end loot drops and youare using a very limited supply of a high end, rare resource spawn. I usually experiment damage all at once and usually I'll end up with 2 -1 points left over, andrarely 3 points left over(depends what I'm crafting andhow the experimentationcame along.and I'll decide if it should go into condition or range, I'm an 11 pt. smith)
