This isa post about Geonosian loot. There's almost enough stuff in that cave for a person to do an in depth post on what it is all good for.
What are the Reinforcement Cores, Sword Cores, and Solidiying Agent usefull for?
Can a MWS use them or are his/her cores already better?
The base stats on theseare 25/25, but I looted a set of 29/40 Min/Max damage Sword Cores, are those useful to a good WS?
Also, I know what yellow and green cubes are for, but what about the white cubes? (the red cubes just look useless)
Thanks for your time, whomever replies to this.

Well, at first glance, here is my take on Geo loot.
The sword and reinforcement cores are usually junk. Occaisionally they drop good ones, but they have to be over 55-60 max damage to be worth it. Otherewise a core with a good yellow cube and agents are still better.
As for cubes, yellow are the prime drop. Yellows in groups of 7 or more are the ultimate for WS. Less are still valuable, but 7 is the magic number.
Same goes for agents. Groups of 7 or more are preferable.
Green cubes are also worthwhile, especially for putting in Tenloss and sonic blasters, as their innate condition is so low. (I still prefer to use yellow cubes, since my 12 points will allow me to get condition over 800 with maxing out damage. But for a good weapon, green work well.)
White cubes are bazaar material. Someone might use them, but they add nothing to the weapons, they are just filler.
Ive never used a red cube, though I have a few packs of them. They are useless.

Oh and as for uses, reiforcement cores are used in Power hammers, gaffi sticks and stun batons.
Sword cores are used in swords, Executioners Hacks, and Scythes. The need for sets of 7 yellows and adhesives, are so that a WS can get 2 scythes from a single use (by creating a factory schematic.)

Loot the droidekas. They are now dropping cubes up to 11 in a set, but I don't think they drop gels unfortunately and the Crazed Geos still seem limited to a max of 7 per set.

Thank you! for taking the time to answer my questions 
Your answers move me forward to other questions.
Are the green/yellow cubes and solidifying agentsuseful in making ANY weapon, or just the special schematics, like the scythe, hack, tenloss, and geo blaster?
How many cubes are used in each the tenloss and geo blaster?
If you end up with a single cube, is it still good for anything?
Whatare thecredit values ofbase green/yellow cubes, and solidifying agents? (i seem to have looted far more than my meager house can hold at the moment, and would like to find happy homes for them, cuz those droidekas are really dropping a lot of them)

Ok, I sorta said this in my first post but here goes again:
Cubes (and agents) can be used in four items (If I remember correctly): geonosian reiforcemnt cores, geonosian sword cores, Geo. Tenloss rifles, and geo stun pistols.
The two types of cores are used (either one or the other) in virtually every type of melee weapon. Sharp weapons use sword cores, other weapons use reinforce. cores.
SO, cubes, can be used in most all melee weapons (but not quite all) or tenloss, or stun ranged weapons.
I believe armorsmiths might also use cubes and agents, but I dont knbow for sure.

you have clarified it nicely for me.
the cubes are (can be)used in the geo cores but not in normal cores, but since the geo cores can be used in place of normal cores to enhance a weapon, and the cubes are used to enhance the geo cores, then it is possible to use the cubes (w/geo cores) to make most melee weapons better.
cool. now i know to keep the good cores, the green and yellow cubes, and the sword and reinforcement core schematics when i find them, and take them to my friendly neighborhood WS when i want enhanced melee weapons made, hopefully to be further enhanced with acklay or spiderfang thingies.
that about cover it?
the geocaves are a veritable one stop shop for thebest melee weapons that can be made.
any other enhancements for melee weaps that are found elsewhere? besides nym's motors and that VB motor from that hard to find NS. rancor teeth, maybe?
oh, heres a good question, can Nym's HP motors be used in vibroblades, LVA's and such? or just VKs?
thanks again for any and all help

That post is about making scythes, but very good info on what you are asking is in it. My thanks to the person that wrote it.
