Wouldn't it be cool if Weaponsmiths could:



  • Create weapons in less defined manner. Meaning, being able to make a pistol that looks like a DL44, but shoots acid and has AP1? Stuff a flamethrower into a carbine chassis?
  • Get lucky with experimentation and create exceptional or legendary weapons?
  • Make DoT weapons?
  • Use components to enhance the armor piercing ability of weapons (rancor tooth with +1 for AP)
  • Put blaster power handlers and feed mechs in the same pistol (oh yeah, I forgot that this was a "mistake" and now pistoleer sucks).


What would you like to see a WS be able to do?

Too true. The ability to do all these things would be great, but the player-base would quickly distill the one best combination and that's all that would sell from then on. Then WS truly would be just another cookie-cutter profession.

I would like to be able to craft a DOT into any weapon tho, with rare drops that'd be cool, you know just like put something into a standard pistol, or maybe even really rare drops into a scythe...

...we could enhance or sabers as a weaponsmith can with any weapon they make.


Merely an idea. I understand there will be good and bad points to this comment.

I am refering to actually enhancing the base saber.


Forget about pearls and crystals for just one moment. As this is a hot topic for discussion on other threads.


Imagine if you could add an enhancing loot item to improve the crystal packs that are needed to make a saber. The only additional crafted component.


I have recently reaquired sabers 0444. Upon trying to craft a new saber I find I can get it nowhere near the stats of my current saber. My problem is based on one of the few "nice" things that have happened Jedi recently. My SAC got lowered on my saber to 100. Though when I originally crafted it it was higher, 120ish I think. So unless I go master lightsabers, or acrafting outfit with relevant CA's, I doubt I could ever make a better one.

I'd settle for experimentation on the packs toreduce the FC difference between pre and post 9 hilts.


I have nothing against the pre9's having the uber pearls, I'm one of the few post CU's that actually WANT them to be rewarded for their work. If they won't reset the pearl drops, quest reward or otherwise (again, fine with me, I can work for 100's of "good" pearls), to allow me to compete in dmg, at least allow me to create something which levels the FC situation. Obviously, I'm not going to be able to make a 16pt saber, which is the ONLY real unfair advantage the pre Jedi have.


Also, without a double mastery, you just don't have the power to spam specials throughout a fight, unless you plan to burn through all your holocrons in one fight (assuming your action/mind holds up of course).


The more I think about it, SAC reduction through pack experimentation would be a good substituteif people decided against the FC idea.

Certainly another option there. Hadn't thought of that one. Good idea.


Perhaps the options of other alterations or modifications to the saber if we were able to experiment on them.
