Scythe F.A.Q. by Bethrezen

Hi everyone, I'm writing this so there can be one definitive Scythe post. Please PM me if you want something added to the guide, also feel free to post and correct me if I am mistaken, or if you want to fill in more detail. I will update this post periodically. Feel free to copy and paste this around all you want, please keep my name in it if you copy the entire thing. 

Q. What does a Scythe look like?

Q. Can I do this mission more than once?
A. The quest can only be done once. However, you can talk to NPC around the Mos Eisely cantina who will reset all of your Tattooine missions. If you do the quest, then talk to this NPC you will be able to repeat the quest. You may only reset your missions once.

Getting the Scythe Schematic

The NPC who gives a quest for the scythe schematic is located at 1390, 3197, at Mos Entha, Tattooine.

He will give you three quests. To be able to talk to him you should equip your most powerful weapon. If he tells you that you are too weak then you probably need to Master the profession for the weapon you're holding. If you're a master and he still says you're too weak there's not really much you can do about it from what I've seen, unless you want to change professions. I was able to obtain the quests with no problem wielding a Power Hammer as a Master Swordsman.

Quest One - Kill a target. Return.
Quest Two - Kill a target. Return.
Quest Three - Deliver an item. Return.

Your reward for Quest Three will be a treasure map. To find the waypoint to your quest right click on the treasure map and click "Read." Then click "Record Waypoint to Datapad." You will be given a waypoint right around the Krayt Dragon Graveyard, around 5600-6200 meters away. Don't worry about someone walking by and stealing your loot, because your quest hasn't actually spawned yet.

Now get your armor on and ride on out to the waypoint...

When you get to the waypoint click on your Treasure Map again. There will be an option to find the exact treasure location. Before you click this button be sure you are ready. When ready click it and you will search for the exact location of the treasure. Your waypoint will update and then at that new waypoint a Canyon Krayt Dragon will spawn, standing right on top of your Buried Treasure chest. Go ahead and kill him if you want, I did and got nothing from him.

A better strategy is probably to Warcry him, open chest and grab Scythe Schematic and just take off.

If you die while doing the quest the chest will despawn and you don't get your Scythe Schematic. Sorry.

sabacc1000 said on the weaponsmith forum that you need to have the certification for the scythe to get the mission.  Might be worth checking out:

If you wanted to make just 1 core you would need only 1 cube. But since you need 2 identical cores to make a Scythe I'm assuming you want to make 2 cores.

 

When you make identical cores that means they must be made by a factory. To be made by a factory you need to make a schematic first (which uses up the resources.)

 

So the 3 Power Cubes = 2 Identical Geonosian Power Cores because:

1 Cube used for schematic
2 used for the 2 actual cores
-------------------------------------
3 Cores used

ccmetal555 i need some help here

i have found some tubes of Tooth paste or somthing thats give a bonus to min/max dmg! can i use them to make a scyhte? anyone else found those tubes? i cant remember the stats

why cant i find any Yellow cubes?????? i have been down there 2 days now not a singel yellow cubes! just white ones!

I got 3 scythes made by my normal ws today. I spent the past few days at the genosian cave and found everything I needed. I found 3 yellow cubes along with 3 solidifiying agents and the schematic to make teh core. I also found 6 nice sword cores. So heres the deal... If you get good cubes and good agents the sword core the ws makes is normally better than anything you can loot though I'm sure some insane looted sword cores exist. The ws made the cores no problem, went to use the schematic and had several bad experiments.. 3 days work down the tubes. Either way its still a pretty good weapon. But on the bright side of things the looted cores worked out nicely and I got two out of the one use of the schematic. I want to try and get one really good slice on a really good scythe but I need to get the schematic again.

   PLEASE tell us how to reset the mission.

Well swordsman finally got some love

The "toothpaste" works as the optional Core Enhancing Agent for making Sword Cores. They give integrity and max damage.

Yellow cubes are a matter of luck. I've killed over 500 Geonosians (went from 35k combat experience to 300k in 2 nights) and I've found only 3 loots of Yellow Cubes. I've never found a single Red Cube however. Keep trying.

Very nice post !

Where do I find the Geonosian cave ??

Trivan

can these missions only be reset once? I talked to the npc and had the missions on tat reset. I then did the scythe misison again then tried to reset it again and the npc won't talk to me. Did I do something wrong here?
