Without getting these bones switched the weapons they make will assuredly be deleted. On an unrelated note, any chance of you selling these things since you're on Eclipse? I can make it most definitely worth your while.

The only thing you could possibly make with these without it getting deleted is a power hammer. If you used these in a PH, it woudl be the world's best PvP hammer, I can guarantee you that. Mitigation? What mitigation?

I did some calculations for a powerhammer (weapon of choice since I'm speedcapped)
kept this way about :484-527 (I was told adv. cores are +43 +43 on eclipse so subtracted that first)
if not kept this way: 222-789
correct?
...... what should I do 
btw Spoon, don't think I'm very interested, it's only a few mil per bone anyway and I need a new hammer lol... (what would you offer for it?)

1 question
Do you PvP?
if you do i would want the 484 - 527 because it would barely be afffected by mitigation, if you dont PvP then i would want it with the 789 max and pray for a damage slice in both cases

If you don't get the min and max on those bones switched, you'll risk getting any weapon made from them deleted, as other people have already warned. Even if you make a power hammer and the min is slightly lower than the max, if someone does complain, a trigger happy CSR might still decide to delete them. The other thing to keep in mind, is that the devs have stated that Mitigation is going to be going away at some point. It probably won't be until the combat rebalance, however. The other thing to keep in mind is that if you use a powerup, it will be less effect if you keep the bones in their current state. 16% of 100 is only +16 max damage, where as 16% of 362 would give you +58 max damage. Even if you used 16%-max/8%-min powerups, you'd still get more out of the powerup by having the bones fixed.
Getting the bones fixed is easy, too. I believe there's even an entry in the knowledge base telling you what to do. Basically, all you have to do is put the bones in a bag in your house, and then send a message to a CSR telling him that you need to have your bones fixed, and giving him a waypoint to the bag. It should only take you a day or two to get them fixed.

Nice bones Kriffith. If you have any spare I would buy them to make myself a PH for myself as I'm also a swordsman. I could also make you a few nice power hammers too.

thanks all for the replies...
I'll let you know for sure what I'll do with them.. My friend is soon starting with WS (still needs +5 exp and his unlock for an extra char), perhaps I'll let him use it, or sell them. We'll see.
as far as as the mitigation goes, I don't think there is a problem as long as the min is under the max, then the weapon is legal.
So powerhammers should be ok.
and the avg damage is the same no?
I'm getting a lot of private messages about buying the stuff lol

I would guess the average damage would be the same. I couldnt say for certain.
As far as I know as long as min damage is lower than max damage they wont take the hammer from you.
Who is your friend? I was asked about some similar bones about two days ago my a new weaponsmith who wanted to put them in a Power Hammer.

Xe-ls, he's a rl friend of mine (we sometimes borrow each others chars etc so I'm looking forward to the WS thing and I'm trying to get him stuff to get started and give him the cash for it etc)
I know he contacted you, cause he mentioned you were such a friendly and helpful person

Ahh, yeah. Thats the guy. I told him he could grab some of my resources to make those powerhammers as I think I have the best that has ever spawned for them.
If you speak to him today can you tell him that there is a few items for WS exp on the Eclipse trade forums. I was going to send him a tell about it when I got into game tonight.
If you want PH's made or want to sell any let me know.
I would also love to see how well they turn out pre and post slice. I have a very keen interest in melee weapons as thats what I specialise in as well as being a TKM/Fencer/Swordsman.
