Ok a while back I made a custom laser carbine for a friend of mine that had surrendered WS a few months back. He asked me to use one of his stocks. Now being a master with the best stuff available I wondered why I couldn't seem to match the accuracy on his stock (it was about 38/38 .8 spd and mine were .3 40/40 though). Anyway this kinda bugged me for a while and finally I sat down last night with a new spawn of some nice link-steel alum and here is what I ended up with.

(full stats will be posted when I get home and can examine a stock)

I was in a research center, and on +11 Bespin
6 Amazing sent the dmg to 38/38 .8x speed (range was +10 base 28hams)
5 Amazing sent range to +34
1 great sent dmg to 39/39 .7x speed

I think on my next try (I gave up after about 15 more tries because I couldnt wait to go run it in the factory and make some new stuff) will be 6 amazing dmg then 6amazing range to see if I can get to +38 range or so.

Stocks are bugged, so resource quality doesn't have the same impact that it would on other components.


On my advanced stocks, I put six points into damage until I get an Amazing success. Then I put two more into damage. This usually gets the stock to 40/40 damage (and about .5x speed, don't remember exactly), and leaves four more points to put into HAM, which is 22/22/22.

I was tempted to get that dmg up to 40/40 but figured the range was worth the loss as these stocks are going to be for dxr6 and t21s that spd capped players use.

I don't know about your stocks, but my 38/38s only detract one point from the overall damage on the weapon so I left them at that. 6 amazing to 38/38, 6 amazing to +39 range.
You can also do them the other way and make super HAM stocks as well at 38/38 11 11 11.

resource quality doesn't seem to apply to the overall damage as you can get 40/40 stocks with any resources, but it will impact the other stats particularly the speed.

experiment with 6 points at a time until you get it. It also helps if your using the crafting foods and in a crafting city and have FS crafting though none are necessary it does make it much easier to get it with all of those.

Experiment 5 points, then 2 at a time. With a little patience and luck I managed to get 40/40 .28 speed stocks with +19 @ ideal range with an amazing and some above average greats.

I'll give it a try, but the "rounding" issue is different with different servers/resources.

I thought about that too. The 38s should work for you. Chilastra has Bloodfin by 4 on the wood SR and 4 on the Alum SR. Of course you've got to look at the resources on the weapons themselves as well, but at least the stocks wont be the problem. =)
