Weaponsmith Archive

Hello

Im a new weaponsmith and have only really been making melee type weapons, but now i have the resourses for a few ranged, so i made some Adv Blaster power handlers

Advanced Blaster Power Handler 19/39 -0.39

not sure it its any good so i made a scatter 2.3 113/150 quite happy so i sliced (18% speed) and sold it on bazzar, 6 or 7k i think.

My really problem is in Advanced Blaster rifle barrels.I got togeather whats needed and made 1,

Advanced Blaster Rifle Barrel 11/11 -0.31

so i decided if thats the best i can made with my resourses the so be it. but i just tried a non-advanced Blaster rifle barrel and using crystaline gems and high OQ/CD copperi made this

Blaster Rifle Barrel 9/9 -0.46 (not advanced but speed is better, how!!!! /confused!!! )

And when i craft them both into the same type of gun the results are relatively the same. Is it worth the extra hassle finding the resourses for ADV units or should i just craft non-ADV types and use those. Or can i craftbeter ones with better resourses???, If so whats the best a 10 point w/s can craft.

p.s. And why would devs make rhodium steel a resourse where u need high CD/SR, all rhodium i've seen sux andCD is like 50

My current ABPH are 21/42 -0.4? cant remember the last digit. That is with the best resources to have spawned on Intrepid. I can achieve this easily with 10 points.

My ABRB is 12/12 -0.33. Usually put 6 points into damage and other 6 into range to max both lines.

I always go with the highest damage possible, unless a customer did a special order for speed. In many case advanced componets with less than perfect stats will be better than non advanced with best resources.

And who knows why certain resource stats are capped.

ABRB are crap. The caps on the resources will only allow you to get 1 or 2 points, and its not worth it at loss to speed and HAM.

I dont use them, I make good BRBs that are just 9/9, but at this time its the slice that makes the gun more than the barrel.

Adv. stocks are worth it for about 40/40 extra damage, and adv scopes are good for a +20 or more range mod.

Adv projectile barrels tend to be worth the extra effort.

10 point smiths can max damage in most cases, the same as a 12 point. The difference will be in condition more than likely, as a 10 point wont have much left to get it past 950 but 12 point WS can get numbers past 1150. Having an extra 200 condition on a good gun is what can really push the sale over.
