30,000	1	1	2		Time: 12 hrs
					Rush: 35
Market Price: 185			Blueprints Price:15,000

Notes

• Due to the crafting requirements including Atomos Atomos and Dual Zoren Dual Zoren, without spending platinum, Twin Basolk costs 180,000 Credits 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 Atomos and Dual Zoren Dual Zoren are finished at the same time (although the Dual Zoren Dual Zoren can be started any time within 12 hours of starting Atomos Atomos, and still retain the 36 hour total build time).

Trivia

• When attacking, the weapons' discs seem to light up and spin, indicating some kind of kinetic charge is used to provide the Damage/Heat Damage 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 Redeemer, Tipedo Tipedo, Panthera Panthera, Boltace Boltace and Akjagara Akjagara to require multiple different weapons as crafting requirements.
