MY rancor bile ones, now right outta the shoot you would assume they were the best, since they were theme park loot... but any whoo... it was like 15-65(or 75 i dont remember) and only 0.3 speed... so its not that bad for rancor teeth.

Why would you assume that they're the best?

And they're actually pretty poor.

Conversely, I just made some sweet powerhammers today: 4.6 spd, -8 Ideal Range mod.

38/38 Geo Cores, with -1.something speed.

ok, so the other day, one of my friends gives me some rancor teeth(bile rancor teeth, and 3 identical ones mind you, im pretty sure thats pretty damned rare) and another one with same stats but not identical... so im like, hey, these things are like theme park loot or really rare rancor drops or whatnot, so i used one, and compared to new geo loot, this stuff sucks major butt! here is what i came out with... Ryyk blades- (Rancor) 3.4 40-174... (Geo and not even the best geo loot out there) 2.2 70-174... so what the heck, they should filter out the "old" and "Out of date" loots or atleast change them a bit... you know how hard it is to get rancor teeth, verses getting geo loot... i dunno but i seem to get a whole hell of a lot more geo loots then i do get rancor loots(weaponsmith loots mind you) and the geonosians are easier to kill... now im not saying geo loot is bad, its more of a god send for us weaponsmiths, but what about rancor loots? i dunno, anyone else feeling this way?

All Bile teeth that i have seen had same stats ( which are a bit better that basic teeth)

imo only teeth past 100max D are worth using to counter suckyness of all other stats that you get from same tooth (speed/HAM/Range/minD)

For some reason, I can't make any curved swords 1 or 2-handed that come out any better than if I used an adv sword core versus the rancor tooth, but I have made a couple of good cleavers with the rancor teeth, if you can get two identicals. I'd post the stats on them here, but I've already sold them.

I agree with the poster that said it depends on the stats of the tooth.

Plus, as with anything else, don't work with a rancor tooth or a geo core unless you already have good resources to make the rest of the sword with anyway (which should go without saying, but I can't think of anything else to add).

I think the devs have dediced to improve the rancor teeth, but are waiting for after the combat patch. It is just too dang easy for people to solo four or five of these at once. Likewise the devs did give us low level enhancements for weapons looted and themepark. To make up for the fact that krayts are far out of most combats range now. So I would think the balance might make the geo cave harder and thus they would have a need to make the rancor teeth slightly better.

< but I have made a couple of good cleavers with the rancor teeth, if you can get two identicals.>

Fair enough.

For me, the whole point of the Cleaver was the high minimum damage.

Take that away (with Rancor Teeth) and all you've got is a slow inaccurate 2-Handed Curved Sword calleda 2-Handed Cleaver.

Bile soaked Rancor Teeth are, I believe, Jabba Themepark loot and yes, they do suck.

I would use them if given me, but only because it saves a few resources otherwise needed for the swrodcore. Slap 'em on coro starport vendor for 6k each and there you go.

On the other hand, I got about 7, 8 or possibly even 9 rancor teeth with 12 min, 137 max which are turning out pretty nice curved swords (both 1 and 2 handed).

"Fang" (1-handed curved sword), has a max damage of 301, got a 30% damage slice and is now hitting for 379 at a capped spwwd of 3.6 =D

geo loot is better than rancor loot, just the way it is

Good rancor teeth starts at 85+ , dont bother using the ones below it's not worth the insane ham costs.

I dunno what the best possiblesword cores are.. but I make 42/42 Dmg cores... So since the min dmg for Rancor teeth is generally down in the dirt, the Max Dmg has to be high enough to compensate. I would say 80+ or dont bother.
