So, I discovered how OP homemade weapons are...

[Daredeviler_21]

I got a maxed out tech station, researched weaponsmith 14, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, the power of these weapons I can make. I'm curently making edge type 5 fragment axes because I found the blueprints for them in Blister Hill.

I only have one question, is it possible to find/research tech that's better than weaponsmith 14? I ask because I noticed I didn't need any items to research weaponsmithing.

[Tommygun]

I believe that is the highest you can go now. I'm hoping they don't go higher as it makes the rare weapons worth searching for.

[Daredeviler_21]

So there are better weapons, interesting, I must find them!

After I kit out my everything with edge 5 fragment axes xD

[Blueelzebub]

Nope, that's as good as it gets from research at the moment. The Holy Sword start will get you a better nodachi, though it's got the signficant drawback of making the primary faction of this branch hostile.

[Daredeviler_21]

I tried a Holy Sword Shek start, started on the river occupied by hive villages, had a bit of fun exploring and then got eaten alive xD

Edge Walkers are a legendary type, but I have never seen one so I don't know the stats.

[Shidan]

Edgewalker Edge 5 weapons are slightly more powerful. Though they are available in very limited quantities right now.

INSANELY good. I managed to start a new game before the Leviathan Coast Armories weren't stripped of their usefulness (or so I've heard), and so my squad is decked out with Edgewalkers and Truth Twos. Even our weakest members usually one or two shot cannibals, and can take out a Beak Thing in about seven.

If you have the time, could you post the stats on those two swords?
