Weaponsmith Archive

Hello all!

Just starting my new career path!

Yesterday I was able to make some pretty good advanced power-handlers. (close to maxed out), but when I put them into my new guns, Im not getting as great as results as other weaponsmiths

Im currently using all the best resources that poped on my server and got all great successes on my experimentation. The damage bar is completly full (cant experiment anymore there) but my weapons are still of by 10 points or so from the other folks.

So tell me. Is there anything Im doing wrong? What should I look for to make these top tier weapons? amazing success?

Any help will be great!

Thanks in advance

If you're using all the best resources since the game released... well it's a guess, but you're not using Adv. Barrels? Though quite likely you missed some resources.

It's not only the powerhandler that adds damage, you know

For the pistols, Im using advanced barrels. The advanced rifle barrels damage add is the same as the regular for more difficult parts to find.

True, its a guess that Im using the best parts. But that statement is based on SWGCraft's database

This was the rub I had last night. I made some republic blasters w/ standard parts and got damage to be at 168max. Now with a near max advanced power handler 18/37 -0.37 and a nice 15/15 -0.73 9wound Advanced Barrel, My Republic blaster was only 177max damage.

There are weaponsmiths that make the blaster in the low 190 realm.

Im begining to think the database on SWGCraft is flawed

I can't say for sure on your server, but I'd bet that the well established masters have resources with at least 850 in every required field, many probably higher. Your advanced handlers are alittle low too, but not enough to make the differences you're seeing. How's your plumbum? The others are most likely using one with high 900's OQ and almost 100 CO. How are your general metals? Look for the place where you could use the most improvement.

Also NEVER use advanced blaster barrels, unless it's a specific request. The 6 pts of damage can in no way make up for .2 seconds speed you're giving up. I've done the math myself. The only way those will be useful as it stands now are for master pistoleers,and by that point they should know enough to ask if they're smart.

I get about 20 damage on my adv. pistol barrels. (8-9 on my basic ones, same for the projectile equivalents).

Adv Rifle barrels are still gimped, pistol barrels seem fine nowadays
