First greensteel??

[blahdblahdblahd]

Which greensteel weapon should I make? Im a 2HF Barbarian but wondering wether i should make a falchion or a greataxe first? as well as what should i make it? Then we move on to numbah 2

Mineral 2, and... what's your race?

[blahdblahdblahd]

Im a 2HF WF barbarian, forgot the race for a sec, so that leaves what first? min 2 flachion or min 2 GA

In your case, I believe the extra crit multiplier on the great-axe would do more damage over-all. (but I'm not positive on this number)

Falchion beats GA for a barb at something like 50 crit modifiable damage per swing.

edit: Found where I'd worked out the math. "Excluding acid damage(I think the burst/blast parts benefit wider range but a. I don't remember b. it's semi-irrelevant due to how much acid resist a lot of the stuff we care about has) green steel swords and axes are equal. Falchions are better than both if your average crit modifiable damage per swing+seeker is > 40 or 50 for a FB3 (effectively, Falchions get 25 hits worth of damage over 20 swings, while Axe/Sword get 23, at the cost of 3.5 damage per hit. 3.5*23/2 = 40.25. if burst/blast work how I remember and are applicable, that number is smaller. For a FB, that number is larger because it effectively adds 6 hits worth of damage from the x3 on 19-20)."

Don't greataxes have a bit of extra reach, though? I know that doesn't matter versus the stand and pound guys.

I don't think one is significantly superior to the other, so I'd say pick whichever you think looks best.
