Well I made an alt to help my main, make a little money, but mostly to support my commando with some good weapons and some grenades. I ground through WS without learning the way, so forgive my ignorance, but I think you'll see from what I did today that I am not a total void of hope.

I want to make myself the sickest Flamethrower possible using resources then possibly stocking it with Krayt. So my journey began. I broke down the FT to it's basics and started with the blaster-rifle barrel and went from there. My theory is one piece at a time until it is perfect then move on to the next piece. I took the advice from one of the guides to travel to each planet and see what they have available as far as resources. Didn't have any luck with what I could find, and tried a couple vendors. Again not really what I was hoping for. This is just for me to learn how to make a good gun, so I don't need 100k stacks (besides the grind) resources again to make a couple FTs. So using what I had sampled I went to the crafting station and began to work through the schem.

Metal and gemstone. Tried some steel I had and some gemstone. Got 17% for the 3 stats immediately after the build. Not too bad I thought. On to experimentation. Tried various combinations, didn't understand what durability does (even tried to look it up in the guides with no luck). Figured out how to keep dumping exp. points into one attribute. I was proud got my speed to -.25. But then the crafting "bug" struck, "I can do better," I told myself.So I pulled up every vendor on the planet and went toa few more (didn't have much time and wanted toexperiment)searching for some better metal and gemstone. I struck gold, I think, and bought 2k aluminum and 1k gemstone. Both with what I think are dynamite attributes I needed. Just for kicks and to learn some more I dropped in the old gemstone with the good metal. 21% for the 3 stats. Hey now I'm cooking I got speed to -.37. Tried again with the good metal and the good gemstone. 22%, and got speed to -.4 and it was time to log, but I made a few more before I left.

Questions if you guys don't mind-- I was getting great successes is there a success better than "great"?

I experimented and got 77% for the max damage stat (or any stat). How do I get that higher?

The three stats immediately after the build (sorry bad memory), how high can those go?

Well Wednesday I'll be working on the Power handlers. If anyone cares to hear my results I'll chime back in.

One last thing, I think I had more fun in experimenting than anything, it's like gambling when you win it's ten times better.

i camped the jinda cave to get ws exp taps to get 12pt after i got master ws

Amazing successes are better than great.

To get the stats higher you need better materials. Always check to see what stats the materials need to have in the schematic of the component/weapon. Just remember OQ is not always the all powerful stat.
