TokyoBlitz Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Hey guys, I have been inspired to create a female sith that in my head used to be a mandalorian. (Cora-vi / Harbinger) I have a pretty good idea of the equipment and look that I want but there is a particular graphic for the vibrosword that I want and I have been left rather frustrated with the lack of online resources regarding such items. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/14184/elite-freelancers-prototype-vibroblade All I know is that it is a mission reward and although this is the graphic I am looking for I am not limited to this particular vibrosword. Actually a lower level version would be much better. Does anoyne have any ideas/answers!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedip_enguin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Check the GTN, used to be dozens of swords that looked like than listed at any given time. Check comm vendors too, there is bound to be one that sells a close approximation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoBlitz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I have tried the GTN and there is nothing similar, also I have looked at some of the vendors but the ones I have found are techblades which is not a PC weapon as far as I know.

uniz Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 might be a class quest reward for the sorcerer class quest. my memory fails me but I think khem had something like that around that level as a reward choice. also check the coms venders as previously posted.

KarmaForce Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Check all the planetary equipmeny comm vendors on the fleet. You should be able to find that and some other nice ones, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoBlitz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I unfortunately have checked the comm vendors on the fleet. I haven't checked the PVP vendor yet or gone to each planet and checked the specialty and weapon vendors yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Am I missing something? I don't see any illustration of that weapon on the linked page. How does it look different from other vibroblades (which typically have more of a "stick" look like the starter weapons, whereas vibroswords tend to have more of a sword look).

Jrea Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 You can defiantly get that as a Vibrosword. My Smugglers companion Wookie (strength) has had several of them. You know it looks kind of teckie and wookies are good with tech. Keep looking, I know I defiantly got one from the GTN. Check with anyone who has high level Armstech too.

Vibroswords tend to look more or less like swords. Vibroblades tend to look like sticks. That's why I'm curious what this thing actually looks like, since the page calls it a vibroblade.

TokyoBlitz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 My apologies, It looks like the blade below but has a half circle with the prongs on the tip og the blade. http://www.torhead.com/item/aYhpXBc/custom-built-vibrosword#screenshots;view:14652 One problem is that it is easy to locate these for companion as they can use "techblades" not "vibroswords" (*** is that anyways?!) or they have a requirement of being that companion in order to equip.

If you have to have the half circle.. you are out of luck. The custom built vibrosword on the GTN on Harbinger? It's level 20, player crafted. I personally don't like them.. and there are similar ones all over the game.. but they should be available pretty easy. So many great vibroswords in game now.. why fixate on the one that you can only get via a mission. Run the mission, if you can access it.

Jenovan Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) OP, maybe advertise for an Armstech on the Harbinger server forums to help you out? The schematic of the vibrosword you linked to is one of the earliest things an Armstech can learn (provided they get the schematic, which IIRC drops from Investigation quests). I imagine they may not be on the GTN because they don't sell well. Love the concept you're going for, though! Edit: Ah, I see you're looking for one "like" that. I've seen those very infrequently in-game, perhaps -only- as quest rewards. :/ I know what you mean about it being hard to track down info about specific items, bleh.

There are a half a dozen on the GTN on Harbinger.. but he wants one that is slightly different graphically.. and as far as I know.. only available via a Mission.

VitalityPrime Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I figure this is a good place for my same question about a different weapon. I finally came across this on the GTN and swiftly purchased it. I have seen this model of Lightsaber many times...but only for Darkside users and Offhand only. After weeks of searching...this Lightside, Mainhand/Offhand version showed up on the GTN. It was glorious. However, I would definitely love to know where it exactly came from...for future reference. http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/149/prophets-student-lightsaber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poking around a bit more, it seems that there are 3 orange swords of the OP's desired type -- one is specific to Bowdaar, and the other two are BOP quest reward type things... the former makes me wonder if this skin is only available to the Smuggler. :/ It'd be a *possibility* for the Warrior or Inquisitor as well (for Broonie and Khem Val), but other than that, it doesn't look good. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phorenzyk Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) This particular model is not available as a moddable vibrosword for the player to use. I've spent many hours looking into swords in general - it's a shame how many can't be modified. Edited September 3, 2013 by Phorenzyk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoBlitz Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Firstly I want to say how impressed I am that the SWTOR community is still the best and most positive I have seen in all the MMOs I have played. Secondly I refuse to believe that it is not possible for me to acquire this particular blade graphic. There are listings for multiple modable versions of it but there is no information as to how or where they drop/rewarded! But I really appreciate all the help and speculation!
