Notes[edit | edit source]
- Due to the crafting requirements including
Atomos and
Dual Zoren, without spending platinum, Twin Basolk costs
180,000, 4 Morphics, 2 Argon Crystal, 2,400 Salvage, 1,300 Polymer Bundle, 1,100 Ferrite, 800 Alloy Plate and 800 Rubedo. The lowest possible time spent crafting the Twin Basolk is 36 hours, assuming the
Atomos and
Dual Zoren are finished at the same time (although the
Dual Zoren can be started any time within 12 hours of starting
Atomos, and still retain the 36 hour total build time).
Tips[edit | edit source]
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- When attacking, the weapons' discs seem to light up and spin, indicating some kind of kinetic charge is used to provide the
Heat damage.
- Basolk appears to be a corruption of Basalt, a type of volcanic rock.
- The Twin Basolk is the first dual melee weapon to use the 'Twin' prefix instead of 'Dual'.
- The Twin Basolk is the sixth weapon after the
Redeemer,
Tipedo,
Panthera,
