Just curious have any of you seen plumbum thats worth using? Or does it ALL suck?

Is there a glass ceiling on many of our weapons intentionally? Or do we just have bad luck on plumbum iron?

Im betting there is a "must suck" cap on it.

sidenote- Heres wat Ive discoverd on SWGcraft.com

Plumbum NEVER a CON over 80

Coreiilain Dicduous wood NEVER an SR over 699

Link Steel Alum - cant recall but never saw high CON on this.

look at SWG craft.com and see for yourself.

We ARE gated.

Heh...

Thought it was just our server that saw this problem...

All 3 spawns of plubum so far have not gotten above 25 con (and as low as 9) and oq has been consistently around 5-600.

I do have linksteel currently that has some nice oq but once again the con seems to be consistently low.

/shrug

We has a plumbum on Tempest a while ago that was 900+ OQ and 75 Cond.

Still pretty pants......but at least the OQ was nice (can't remember exact figure offhand)

As for Link-steel alu......I don't think this has ever been a problem on Tempest, I guess we've been lucky from what you are saying.

The current link-steel alu is again 900+ OQ and 650+ Cond.

Nice stuff

The linksteel I've seen on Tarq is nice enough. The plumbum is a bit pants to be honest. (Lead Iron, though, weird combo)

My good Plumbum is C27 OQ530

My bad Plumbum is C4 OQ26 !

Polonium sucks s.h.i.t too.

on wanderhome the plumbium sucks as well but we did have link-steel once with oq and conductivity both over 900- once but that was well before i changed from architect to weaponsmith so any of it that i mined probably ended up in some generator turbines i didnt realy start checking stats and saving the good stuff till about 2/3 of the way through the ARch tree.

Plumbum is so bad that I was beside myself with joy with our lastest batch on Ahazi even with cond of 17...At least OQ was in 900's...That's all you can hope for. Good OQ.

Go to SWGCraft.com and do a search for all plumbum listed for any server since launch.

You'll see that plumbum's CDis always below 200, though OQ ranges from 0-1000.

The bottom line is that nearly ALL iron has crappy CD. I believe I have some doonium with CD over 450, and I was floored to see it at the time (especially with an OQ of 900 something). But beyond that, every iron has crappy CD. It's that simple.

Steel isn't *quite* as bad, but is no picnic either. =)

Gee and I thought I was lucky to get Plumbum with 27 CO and 126 OQ, a lot better than the last spawn of it (22 CO and 10 OQ)

As a connaisseur of fine resources, I hate to make weapons that require this abomination. Its the virtual equivelant to a Zymologist taking the season to grow and craft the perfect wine, perfecting his technique, and then pissing in the fermentation vats right at the end.
