Looted these tonight. Was wondering if you could give me some insight on how much better these can make weapons compared to the normally used vibroblade units.


Min 72, max 61 damage

speed -0.884

wound 24

ideal range mod 29

health 5, action 18, mind 8 costs


Also, what would these be best to be used in weapon wise? Thanks alot for your time.

You can use that to make a vibro knuckler with a speed of 1.7 possibly even 1.6 and thats what usually is considered as a good slice on a ordinary knuckler, consider yourself lucky or rich depending on your profession.

I am on the Gorath server and I am a master rifleman/master brawler/master swordsman so I dont need vk's. My plan is to get someone to make them for me and I promised a friend that I would give him one since he has been trying to get good vibro's for the last 4 months and I would like a pair made for myself to hang on the wall. Now correct me if I am wrong but if the vibros were hand made I would be able to get 5 total vk's out of these correct? Am I better off getting all the vk's made then selling those or selling the leftover vibro units I didn't use for my own personal ones? Currently I have had someone offer me 6 mil for the 5 of them.

While those are very nice Vibro Units, you gotta look at the overall picture. If you use some High Powered Vibro Units (looted of Nym personnel), you will get about 67 max dam on the VBU (that's using +20 enhancers). The minimum damage on the ones you have is very nice (something like 40 over normal ones) so it will help Melee Mitigation quite alot. The other fine quality on your VBUs is the speed. Yes, the vks made with those will have nice speed but TKMs have 115 Unarmed Speed, meaning they could have 11.0 speed vks in hand and still hit at 1.0 second.


Now..let's recap. Minimum Damage nicer then enhanced VBU (only usefull in pvp really, npcs don't havemitigation) Maximum damage worse then enhanced VBU. Speed nicer then enhanced, but it's not a factor.


If you're not going to use them, sell them for whatever amount of money you can get and buy some Nym Enhanced VKs.


But that's just me.

Well one point to make is that upping the minimum damage will up his DPS significantly, not just up his damage against Melee mitigation.


And since Master TK speed cap every single move speed is not a factor for most people who would want these...


So with my unarmed hit3 and some Nym VKs say 2.0spd 60-180 I do 720 dps

With some VKs made form these guys. I could guess 1.9spd 100-172 I do 816 dps


Not to mention I believe those HAM costs are MUCH lower then we can get with our damage maxed out Vibromotors and that alone will make TKM's dream I say sell them or make some nice VKs and sell those...HAM cost and MInDamage will be the selling point and anyone who doesnt know what a good thing that is should be playing Unreal tournament...

You'll be able to get very nice DPS on these and look at the ideal range mod, those are nice!

Im curious where you looted these from....My buddy saw them and has to have a pair. I know the chances of looting them aren't good and since we are on different server we couldn't pursade you to sell one. He just wanted to know where he has to start. Any help would be great thanks.

TKM has about +240 unarmed accuracy, ranges on the weapon doesnt matter one bit, i dont even miss when blinded and stunned

bhtm29, I looted them off a singing mountain clan dragoon outside the Dathomir Outpost. I really dont think it was what I was fighting except the fact it was a higher level mob, just luck really. Last night I looted a exceptional heavy axe off a nightsister sentinel so go figure.

Just in case anyone is interested I did get 2 knucklers made. On my server I feel that DaVinci is the best maker of weapons so I contracted him out. One turned out 85-171 dmg, 1.7 speed 860 condition and the other 85-171 dmg, 1.6 speed 1086 condition. As you can see he had a failure on 2 points going towards condition on the one. The also have +37 ideal range, 50.1% wounds and ham is 36/65/38. They both recieved damage slices and ended up being 102-205 dmg, 1.7 speed and the other 112-225 dmg, 1.6 speed. Needless to say I am very happy with the outcome.
