Well scythes don't really have much todo with the geo labs (I looted 6 reinforcement core schems yestarday, so loot is still easy), but I still see them go for a LOT. The schems are kinda rare on WH these days, and unsliced scythes go for a mill+ usually.

i beg to differ. scythes prices are directly related to geo lab loot. since the spawns have been nerfed and less people camping the cave.. the cost to make scythes will dramatically increase since good geo cubes/agents will go for a higher price since theres less on the market.

Roger.

There are a couple things in play here. First is that without people overspawning the cave, it's much harder to get stacks of 7 cubes and agents at all...and you need 7 to make 2 scythes from one schem use. Then there's the issue that most people have already done the quest for the scythe schematic their 2 times, so they're going for 750k to 1 mil. If you can't get 7 matching cubes and agents or 6 good matching cores, you're stuck making two scythes per schematic, and that will also increase costs...

The above are reasons I'm starting to tell swordsmen to use 2 handed curved swords as much as possible, because the increasing costs associated with scythes does not make them very suited for grinding anymore. Save them for PvP or very high-end PvE, don't waste them on low level NS and jantas...

Heck, the executioner hacks are cheaper for me to make these days since there's no demand and the schematics aren't limited per player...

Oh, and the spawns haven't been nerfed...you just can't bug them to overspawn so you have mercs coming out of the woodwork...lol Ever see the screenies of like 20 mercs in the room at once with the floor completely covered? Yeah...not working as intended...
