I have brought a Rancor Tooth (Exceptional) with 213 max damage and am deciding what touse it in and would like some advice/ideas. Although a set of 3 were looted they have been seperated into individual lots so this is a one-off as such. My template will be TKA/Fencer/Swordsman and I am looking to get good weapons for each class.So far I have 2 x Acklay Bones (82-139), 9 x High Powered Vibro Units (3x+25, 2x+24, rest +20) and this rancor tooth. Obviously TKA is settled but I wondered if anyone has crafted with similar stuff or couldguess at rough stats I would get on weapons that use them. I was thinking PowerHammer with Acklay and then something for fencer with the tooth, or otherwise Stun Batons with Acklay and curved sword with tooth.What other options are there?

Yep that is correct. Tooth is +213 max damage. The other stats are also good compared to other teeth, (around +.2 speed, +6-6-6 HAM)


I also looted some +105 teeth ages ago (before Christmas) but used them in a Ryyk Blade (4.0speed, 43-263 with25% dam slice). Asgood as Ryyk Blades look for1-handed not sure I want to godown that road again.That's why I need some advice on where is best touse them.

To get the best bang for your buck on these loot items I'd use the bone in a stun baton (best return IMO), one or two of the lower dmg Nym's motors in a Vibroblade, the rest in VKsand stick the tooth (nice ) in a 2H curved.

For Powerhammers I would try going the root of making geo reinf cores with good yellow cubes/gel and getting the nice range mods and such. Make 2-4 of these and hope for some dmg slices. Acklay bone in PH is both slow and horrible range mods, so it needs to be super high stats to make the trade-off worth it

What is wrong with you guys rancor teeth are garbage only good for weapons collectors. I noticed the poster neglected the minimum damage which is more important then the high end damage. The damage will go throughout the weapons range. So if its plus 11 minimum damage get ready for three times the 35 point hits then the large one, and the majority of those wont hit the max. Simple truth is this tooth will not get you a uber weapon. You blew some money for something that is hardly worth it.


Most people buy rancor tooth models come back and say its god awful. It gets them killed, because the weapons minimum damage is so awful. A tooth is not an enhancement its a replacement component. So subtract what a sword core normally does from that tooth, and you will get 150 points more of max damage while loseing 30 or 40 points on minimum damage.

I would say Two-Handed Curved Sword. I was able to get a hold of 4 143+ Rancor tooth lately and can't figure out what to make too...


Toss them into the Two-Handed Curved Sword....sliced out damage and 1 speed....all sold quickly for an average price of 350k!!! heheh


Got one left with 471 max damage 3.7 speed though...

yeah, two handed curved swords tend to do well with nice rancor teeth, i had a lot of +111 and made some really nice two handed curved swords. worked out great.


and rancor teeth weapons arent worthless, i have quite a few one handed swordsmen in my guild and they love the rancor blades. they arnt good for PVP cause of the low min damage, but they work out great for PvE. The ham costs are not a big deal because of buffs, mostly everyone on valcyn fights buffed anyway, so thats not a big deal either.
