hi

i want to know what can be done with 1handed melee, and rifles using geo and other loot. i am not a weapnsmith so please explain to me what the possibilities are.

BTW i know about aklay and krayts, so the question is for things besides that such as cubes, rancor teeth, bile, various misc looted stuff.

in particularly i am looking for some sort of a list of these various things, what they do to the weapons, and where/how can i get them so that i mat provide my friendly weaponsmith with them.

thanks

Ok let me try to answer your question.

Geonosian Power Cubes are used in the DXR-6b Rifle as a component, it requires 1 or 2 cubes. they also are a required component in geonosian sword and reinforcement cores.

Rancor Teeth can replace sword cores in swords. Bile-soaked rancor teeth ar typically better.

various looted components can be used in various weapons. looted power handlers can go into guns, looted power capacitors can go into power handers to go into guns, looted vibro motors can go into knucklers or vibrolances, looted scopes and stocks go on guns, looted feed mechanisms go into guns that use them (like the FWG5 or Tusken Rifle).

hope that answers your question.

DXR-6b Disruptor Rifles require two power cubes with identical serial numbers. Yellow cubes add damage, Red cubes reduce HAM costs, Green cubes increase the weapon's Condition rating and white cubes provide no bonuses.

Geonosian Sword Cores can be used in regular one-handed swords (Sword, Curved Sword and Ryyk Blade). The Geo Sword Core requires one power cube and can be further enhanced with Geo Solidifying Agent. So a Geo Sword Core made with a yellow cube and good solidifying agent can make for a very nice Curved Sword.

The Geonosian Reinforcement Core can be used in the Stun Baton and Gaffi Stick. Again, a crafted Geo Reinforcement Core made with a yellow cube and geo agent can come out very nicely.

However,your best bet is probably a nice Acklay bone, which is a replacement for the reinforcement core. Be warned, however, that some Acklay bones drop with much higher Min damage than Max damage ratings, which can result in a Stun Baton or Gaffi Stick with a higher Min damage than Max damage. CSRs are reported to be confiscating such weapons.

Hope this helps.

well Aklay bones and Krayt stuff is absolutely out of the question for me. at leats on my server these things are mega camped 24/7 and tehre is always a lot of KSing and ill-feelings surrounding the 2 , both of which make me literally reach out and strangle the peopel behind their characters in RL, and which i want absolutely no part of.

i am looking more for things which i can get by myself (i am master both melee and ranged professions, so combat character) or in a small group, which would let me use some better then usual weapons.

so see if i got this straight, to make a nice geo curved sword or rykk blade, i need the following: a Geo Sword Core, a power Cube (yellow for dmg or red for HAM), and a geo solidifying agent ? is that correct ?

for a DXR-6b Disruptor Rifle i need 2 identical power cubes, schematic, and thats it as far as special loot goes ?

are there any looted componens which could be used to enhance a T21 or Laser Rifle ?

thanks.

For T-21 and Laser Rifles only enhancements are krayt tissues, and looted power capacitors, for a T-21 you will need 11 identicals (same serial #'s on all 11) Laser Rifles you will need 4 identicals...hope this helps

so where / what drops the capacitors ?

Random NPC's .....i have seen them drop from Bounty Marks, Nym's guys, Pirates, etc...
