Unlimited but Limited Enkidd Howler S.4

Hey guys just wanted to share this info

Thanks for reading

 

The Cyrene team really need to learn how to name items properly. I said this was going to cause problems about 2 years ago when RT and NI were consistently using names that deviated from the accepted format, but no-one listened.

Grats on the discovery Loren (and George)

 

They seem to be doing better than RT and NI though.

For this one it seems like they "copied" an armour bp then changed it's settings to make this one. However didn't change all the variables correctly.

It may well be the BP is named correctly just the incorrect item is produced i.e. L rather than unlimited.

 

All I can say is ... stay tuned to the front page of MSM.

 

Many thanks Loren for that great account that I read in your linked thread.

I'd like to ask your opinions about the potential value of this gun in either (L) or un(L) form, and thus whether it is actually WORTH anyone clicking or not now that we know what comes out?
I ask because of my continuing questioning of the economy assumptions of the crafting chains as they start to become clear - although this ones helps hardly at all for what was already known out there in the crafting chain apart from bonding liquid.

My thoughts are: tt of mats maybe 20 peds per success (mu unknown but at least another 20 peds on top). Residue 130ish tt (140ish with mu). BPs for sale will start off being 100 click ones - value depends on clickablilty.
So, cost to make without BP cost is about 180 ped minimum for 150 ped result. Auctioned at 185 peds = 123%, minus 3 peds auction charge and 'a couple' of peds for the BP per success would be break-even (from admittedly very rough calculations).

So..... it COULD work out as providing mu on the mats and the bp maybe worth 65 peds or so as the mission reward.
BUT.. is the gun worth buying? Are there people at that level who start shooting mobs at that distance with intent to damage and not just tag (who don't already have something unl)? Would that hunter therefore put an amp on it too?
Is it a gun that people have been waiting for?
I'd love to hear your opinions

[Edit] Beechbum writes: The materials required to click this BP total 30.97 ped TT value - the rarest of which being the Ycy Ingots.

[edit] This pushes up my estimated minimum auction sales price to around 200 peds, so 133%ish. I don't know the Bravo, mentioned as a gun competing with this. Yes I could look it up, but maybe someone with thoughts on the Cyrene development can mention it in passing

 

Check out the MindStar Media front page and the Who's Who - Officials interview with Ed who answers the question about the Enkidd Howler S4 and whether it's supposed to be (L) or (UL).

 

I wish Johan's wiles destroyer goes unlimieted as well

 

Update as of VU 2012.6

The gun is now unlimited (yay!).

Performed fruit test and decay is 1.550 pec.

I also added the item to entropedia since it was missing:

Nice work. That is one cool weapon.

 

Cool, but whats fruit test? i just looted new weapon and would like to check the decay preciscely.

 

You make 1 shot with weapon and then put it in tt and put enough weapon cell, sweat or fruits to fill it up to full tt value to know the x.xxx decay of weapon.

Hi peeps - just to confirm for those who doesn't yet know:

The Enkidd Howler S4 is unlimited when crafting.

Have fun =)
