Thread: Yellow Cubes+Solidfying Agent vs. Looted Sword Cores vs. White Cubes
Can anyone who has made a Scythe/had one made for them, or even just made some of thesword cores, please post the details of what they used and the final results.
Thanks
well i can say you that white cube + 10d gel will give you about 40-40 cores.
i gues that from that you can se that 25-25 loot cores are nothing to look after ![]()

I destroyed about 20 White Cubes my first time down there because I ran out of pack space and I've not included the millions of Relics I've had or the Sonic Blasters (4 of them so far).
BTW I'm not some ninja looter or pile camper it was just theeasiest/fastest place to xp in order to master Swordsman and I wanted to getthe bits to have some custom weapons made.
I'm still looking for a MWS (melee specialist) on Eclipse to work with in order to produce a few items as I would rather do some experimenting then sell this stuff off as with thecurrent auction prices it seems people who have a genuine interest are losing out to people who camp loot piles.

But if you don't trust the free market, trust the math. The scythe is a limited use schematic - 2 uses. It takes 2 sword cores per scythe. Even with 7 looted sword cores (the most I have seen that has dropped), you will only get 2 scythes per use or 4 scythes per schem. If you have 7 identical power cubes, you can make 6 sword cores. 2 for a manufacturing schem and you get 2 scythes - same as with the looted sword cores. Now, if you look at your looted cores, the max was +26. The lowest yellow cube will give you + 10 damage. The lowest solidifying gel will give you +10 damage. So you are already at +20 before the WS starts. You will easily go way above +26. And since the WS can only make a max of 4 scythes per schem, why not wait and make the most of them. If you have 7 yellow cubes and 7 solidifying gels, you will have no problem getting a scythe made. Just ask any WS and they will probably gladly oblige you.

What about the minimum damage?
The base looted sword cores have +25min/max damage whereas the base yellow cubes with a base solidfying agent will only give you +10min/+20max before experimentation...
What's the point in making 6 sword cores from cubes? If you can only make2 Scythes per use that means that 2 of those sword cores are going to be surplus to requirements.
I was considering having two scythes made using my 5 base yellow cubes and the 5 +13max dmg solidfying agents, 1 of each to makethe sword core prototype for the factory (fingers crossed on an amazing success) and then the other to make the four identical sword cores for the scythes. After that I'd like towait and hope I loot some really nice yellow cubes and solidfying agent before using up the last scythe scematic use.
man you are not listening to us huh?
if we could make you Geo cores whitout need of cubes or gels then they would be like 40-30 damage.
That are already better that basic loot ones.
now if you at least havewhite cubes + 10D gel then you are at 40-40 cores (that is about same stats as we use when we make normal swords/hammers etc
now we use 20-20 cube +10D gels and you are att 60-60 cores.
Whit real good cubes like 40-40 and +30D gel you are up to 80-100 cores (if you ever manage to find so good cubes/gel)
and you want to get 7 cubes / gels of same serrial becauseit will allow WS to make 2 weapons from 1 schematic charge. Scythe schematichave only 2 charges. So you can come to WS whit only 5 cubes/ gels (or 4 junk loot cores) and you will get 2 scythes. or you can come to us whit 2 batches that have 7 cubes/gels in each and get 4 Scythes from same schematic. more work give more reward.

Yes I am listening but thanks for the attitude that really helps![]()
I don't usually have a problem with adding up but I don't understand why I would need 2 lots of 7 cubes/agents for 4 scythes but only 1 lot of 5 cubes/agents for 2??? Why would I not be able to get 4 scythes made with 2 lots of 5 cubes/agents?

That's easy to answer... follow the math ![]()
1 lot of 7 cubes:
make 1 core schematic..6 cubes left
the schematic and 6 cubes are used to make 6 identical cores..no cubes left, 6 cores
use 2 cores to make scythe manufacturing schematic...4 cores left
use manufacturing schematic and 4 cores to make 2 scythes
So 1 lot of 7 cubes can make 2 scythes.
