Forgive me in advance if this is covered in the stickies but I didn't see it. I'm a fairly new mws and am uncertain what the difference is between looted and crafted Geo cores. I'm assuming looted cores are ready for crafting and crafted you have to have the cubes and of course the schematic. Since you don't add cubes to looted cores, how does that work compared to crafted Geo cores where the color of cubes affects the bonus if any. I understand stats on looted cores vary, but how do they compare to crafted Geo cores. Finally, I understand for example that with the Scythe, you can make up to four scythes from a schematic. How many cubes do you have to have to do a run, is it five (one for schem two each for 2 scythes?)? I read other ws only buying cubes in pairs so I"m a bit confused.
