I want to make a good powerhammer, the only weapon i've ever crafted was a survival knife. I know how to use the crafting kits and the weaponsmith is +21 assembly +21 experiment. I'm just asking advice for making the highest damage possible and what i need to buy. I'm a speed capped swordsman (up to a hammer with 8.5 speed), so speed is not an issue I want to focus solely on damage. Any help, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortuantly, you cant focus on speed rather then damage on melee weapons (there are exceptions). The 2 are linked. Whereas on ranged, you can enhanced speed without that much damage increase and visa-versa. All Acklay weapons have the same speed and so if you want a good power hammers, you need to find some high min/max damage bones - thats about all you can do...

ok, so if i get ackley bones, do i need geo cubes or krayt tissues? or is it a case where i can only use one thing? sorry for bein such a noob, if my friend could get in game i'd ask him to make it for me, but he can't get back for another month or two...

no only acklay bones take place of the reinforcment coreall you can do is get bones or make GEO reinforcement cores. IF bones are not avialible. make sure you have good kammeris iron to

Check on www.swgcraft.com for the best spawn resources, so you do not waste a nice bone. With the best resources you get just that little more damage that can make a real difference

Use the highest Shock Resistance minerals you can find for the hammer. for most, if not all Melee weapons, Shock Resistance is the only stat that matters.
you could be using metal with a 12 OQ, but if it has 950 SR than it'll make a sweet weapon.

thanks, ok can anyone give me an idea of what to expect with this.
i just crafted a quicky to see what it was like and i guess i picked an easy weapon cause its no dif than crafting sabers, i thought it was going to be more involved like meds with "exact matches" from factory crates and all that....
so i got max damage of 457, speed of 5.3. my advanced sword core was ok and the copper i have is lousy (i'm getting better off my jedi).
the question is how high do you think i could expect with max 95 ackley bones? assuming i get amazing success all around...

luckily, most melee weapons (other than pikes) rarely require identicle parts.
ranged weapons, that's where it can be a real pain in the butt

it also depends on the resources your server has... on Flurry I am able to make a 534dmg hammer without any enhancement (40/40 cores)...

@Wisky: should be able to get a bit more than that - if the resources he has good enough (some JTL copper, for instance), he should be able to get about 520.
I was able to get a 514 with an 84 Geo Core, steel with 996 SR, Iron with 980 and copper with 820 I think
