little bump for an answer or three.... or if there is an infothread I overlooked, just a link to it would do great.

Ok, thanks for those.... guess my second question was unclear..... I meant what stats on the cubes and solid agents does it take to make a really good scythe? I haven't ever camped the geo cave too hard other than for Acklay.... I've only ever seen 13 dmg solidifiers (I've heard of 25's, but I'm sure those are phenomenal)and base +10 yellow cubes.....so what numbers am I looking at on those to come up with a really good sycthe? and how many does it take of each? 3? The sword core schematic is no problem, I delete those on a regular basis.

Sorry to bother you busy folk, but I got some questions.... asked around on my server, but haven't gotten all the full answers I want, and the reponses I've gotten have varied, so I'm not sure if they're really right... I also looked through some of the stickied topics and the forum here and could find my answers.....

1) Can a Scythe take Acklay Bones? If so, how many same serial are required?

no

2) They take yellow cubes and solidifying agents I've found out so far.... what are good stats for an "uber" scythe??? (looking for an answer like 15+ or 20+ or some sort of estimate) (and by uber... I have a 760 max power hammer and a couple 1k max LVAs so not just average, but really good to uber is what I'm aiming for, and I need to know what kind of loot to hold out for)

Yes they can take yellow cubes and solid. agents, but u need a crafted sword core.

You need a geonosian sword core schematic and identical cubes and agents to do this.

The bsest scythe I ve seen as far is somthing about 430 max damage with 2.6 speed

3) As opposed to crafted cores... what kind of stats would come out on a crafted core? I've got some looted ones that are 50+. Would those make a really good sycthe? or at least a pretty good general purpose one for PvE?

Crafted cores, if crafted properly r always better than looted.

Youse yellow cubes and solid. agents (green cubes r ok too for durability and damage isnt everything).

Unless u loot some some uber rare sword cores, crafted (I think) r always better

The crafted cores have even range modifieres, the looted only mid range

Thanks guys, and if there's anything I didn't ask that you wouldn't mind volunteering some info on, feel free to.

Thanks for sharing Now to start workin the normal spawns in there instead of just hitting Acklay and the fire spider

I really would like to see a screenshot of a Scythe Blade that is 400+UNSLICED. I have heard alot of people calling my blades crapy and saying things like my freind has one made of Akaly Bones and it is 500+max damage. I laugh becoase it is simply not possible I have made some 98% Scythe Blades in my time as MWS, The best blade I have made at 98% was made with the best Yellow cubes and paste and resources to build the cores and scythe ever seen on the Tarq. server, It only had around 350maxunsliced no powerup. I am just courious to how the diferent servers differ. The resources couldnt get much better to make these things either. I am wondering how 2% could jump a weapons max damage to 500+or even 400????If anyone has a screenshot of a Scythe with stats like these please post.(unlsiced and pu removed please) Even if there is a 500max damage scythe that is sliced and poweruped i still would like to see it please. I get tore into by trolls on my server trade forums by other WS's cuase i make a good blade and i do have a mouth when provoked that is pretty vicious for a girl and that makes the boys mad when i checkem.

That must have been made with exceptional/legendary looted geo sword cores with like 100 damage, there's no way it'd be possible with crafted cores unless you had cubes or agents with like +80 damage.

Even with normal components you can get well over 500 with slice/powerup, last scythe I made was with base yellow cubes and agents, came out 190-330. If you get a 35% dmg slice it goes to 455, then 16% powerup to 528.

edited to fix powerup stats since you can't make 33% melee powerups

I might be wrong but melee powerups don't come in 33% damage... only 16%. If I'm wrong I need 33% ones

Meogi

Would any of you WS be will to post what some average stats on your crafted sword cores are?

I looted some Min 38 Max 58 Speed -0.444 geno sword cores, are they any good ??

Any info would be nice, thx
