I've recently started playing the game again after a two month break. Have they fixed the wookie bolt-caster? How about RIS armor and PSG's? If not, have you weapons and armorsmith's been on them about these items?
Firstly its bow-caster! secondly we don't deal with Armour here that is the armousmith forum!
The bow-caster has not changed one iota since launch!
Firstly it's armorsmith, not armousmith. Secondly thank you for answering part of my question. Thirdly I do not believe firstly or secondly are even words. Being the english professor you obviously are I would have thought you'd know better.
They've fixed the bowcaster, but the only problem is resource spawn. Haven't been too great for it.
The one thing great about it is that you could use both Krayt Tissue and Feeder Loot on this.
In addition, given this is a wookie weapon, @ newbie Novice Marksman, you could use a great weapon!
Add feeder, Krayt tissue it rocks! I have one on my newbie Marksman 0-0-0-0 with damage of 523 (sliced damge) with Krayt Tissue and feeder, speed 4.8
Not too bad :-) Given you could use it all the way through rifleman :
Tyronet City InformationFor those who may be interested in bowcaster stats:
I just made 3 Krayt bowcasters myself. Here's what I started with and came out with ...
Beginning:
set of 7 Krayt tissues, +63/-0.42, used to make Advanced Balster Power Handlers
set of 4 Krayt Tissues, +83/-0.456, used to make Advanced Blaster Power Handlers
set of 3 looted Projectile Feed Mechanism (Exceptional)'s, -1.56 speed and I think the damage was 50-80 but not sure
Doonium iron, 316 CO, 918 OQ
Quadranium Steel,458 CO,435 OQ
my advanced barrels were horrible - 18-20 (i forget the speed, but about -.5) using terrible rhodium steelbut decent duralloy and duranium. I tried to find better barrels or materials to no avail.
Finished products:
4.0/153-330 (great successes)
4.3/151-330 (great successes with one moderate)
4.0/153-351 (this one had the better tissues, great successes)
Given a powerup they were all 2.7 or 2.8 speed 177 min damage. Slicing would improve them even more, potentially down to 2.0 speed when powered or up to 600 with damage slice and powerup. Obviously the superb quality of the feed mechanisms made a huge difference. I have never heard of nor seen any other feed mechs that equal the ones I used. If you get the chance at feed mechs like that, they are excellent when combined with krayt tissues.
Just an FYI if anyone is interested.
