Because they do not add to the Advance Vibro motor he uses, they replace the advance vibro motor...and the stats on those are less than most weaponsmiths can make.

Did you ask him what his usual Motor stats are?

Ahh.. nope but he has a bunch of VKs on his vendor at 142 max damage, which appears to be his norm. The reason I ask is because a nym motor, which has a lower max damage, i.e. +20 rather than +25-30 appears to produce VKs with much higher damage?

I just wondered if the Jabba's themeparkblades are bugged or something. Has anybody actually made VKs with them and produced similar results?

Nym motors and NS motors add to Advance Vibro Units

Jappa Themepark Units Replace Advance Vibro units...and they are worst than what we can make...so they are pretty much useless

Your VK's should be 0.1 faster than a standard VK though if that makes any difference to you. I made a bunch of lightweight VK's and they actually sell pretty well.

Really, I made 12-15 of these a month ago. Put them up at 4k each and they fell off the vendor last night. I put them back up for 1k each and they sold out in an hour. My high end VK is 41-152 2.2 unsliced.

Nice VKs I wish you were on my server!

It isn't just the lower damage than standard VKs (the speed is irrelevant at MTK) it's the huge HAM costs compared to a good set of 37-142s. I forget the exact figures but standard VKs are 30 ish 50 ish 30 ish, whereas these are 50 ish across the board. It goes without saying that I destroyed them in a fit of pique. I guess I could have passed them over to a newbie TK but I wasn't feeling that charitable after tipping the WS 200k for making them

The theory being that a "lightweight" blade unit will let you swing faster. You do get about a 0.2 better speed than a normal VK, at a cost of a few points of damage off the top. I find that they sell decently to brawlers working up the unarmed tree. Of course, they're not VK-certifed yet, but the speed still helps, and speed slice makes them especially useful.
