Thread: 2H Curved Swords Made with Geo Loot
Message Edited by Framahr on 06-05-2004 09:09 AM
I made a very nice two-hand curved sword using a spare geo sword core made with nice yellow cubes and good agent. I don't remember all the exact stats, but the max damage came to 270+ before slice, with 2.6 speed. It was a very nice sword; unfortunately it broke when I repaired it. 
Slim Vargo, Corbantis
Only if any of the stats are marginally better than my crafted cores will I consider using them. I'd say average across the servers of about 41/41 on adv sword cores so use that as a benchmark.
The swords themselves turn out with nice ideal range mods and usally a little lower HAM cost.
I'd not bother wasting time with with crafting geo sword cores for anything but Scythes, as neutronium steelhas horrible UT and even on the highest stuff you need above average yellow cubes and paste to better normal advanced ones.

That's not necessarily true WerrtZer. I regularly make various swords with geo cores both looted (the good ones, not crap) and crafted. As long as I don't botch the experimentation the range mods are much better with either a better min or max damage depending on the cores (and no sacrifice on the other dmg stat either). My crafted geo cores regularily have around +50-60 to max dmg.
When you only have 1 core and not 2 why destroy it? Make a nice sword!
Firstly I'd nver destroy a core, but I'd see it as a waste putting yellow/cubes gel into a geo sword core specifically to use them in swords and not scythes. I feel the best use of yellow cubes/gel is in geo reinf cores for stun batons and possibly gaffis, where the damage increase makes a lot of difference. Now if the UT on neutronium were at the same capped level as dolovite then what you suggest might be true but since my best adv sword cores so far are 43/43 (forget rest of mods right now) it will take me 18min/10max and 10 dmg gel to better those cores. Far better to stick that loot in with my ditanium and actually add to the stats of my best adv reinf cores, would you not agree? I'll stick with my original statement that crafted geo sword cores are for scythes/hacks only.
