Hello fellow 'smiths. I have a couple issues right now w/ the quality of the product I'm putting out. I finally got most of the resources I need and last night I started fooling around w/ stun batons. I've been told that an unsliced unenhanced baton should come out at about 135-140. I made advanced reinforcement cores that came out to 32 dmg...is that alright? Also, when i experiment I fill up the damage line but I was juggling the other 3 bars around. What should I put the rest of my points in? I'm also using resources that have SR between upper 700's to the 800's. Does having resources such as these make a HUGE difference in the final product? Should I be looking for resources in the upper 900's in order to get a decent product out?

You always want the highest # in the required catagory. A good place to go view the history of all resouces is SWGcraft.com which will allow you to view all stats of resouces that have ever spawned on your server. As far putting experimentation in to the other areas it is allows good to reduce the HAM or increase the ideal range, but don't waste your time increasing the condition of a subcomponet.

You definitely need to find some better UT ditanium steel for those reinforcement cores. You should be able to get a lot closer to 40 damage on those. Once you have the damage maxed out, the rest is up to you. Personally, I do HAM on some weapons and range on others, depending on what the default numbers are on each of those before I start.

Please drop any auction winnings at my vendor on Corellia. It is Abilof Weapons at -1803 2347 just east of the Kor Vella starport or the Fort Qui shuttleport.
