Weapon Certifications Weapon certifications are granted at certain skill boxes in the profession trees. Weapon certifications grant a player the ability to use the full damage potential of a weapon without penalty as well as the ability to use special attacks from the profession line that the weapon is certified to. Ordinarily a weapon suffers a massive damage penalty (probably 99%) if a player attempts to use it without having trained the proper skill sets. Weapons with dots will not have their dot effect go off if the player is not certified to use that particular weapon. Lastly, players who have not trained in a profession skill box that the weapon uses cannot use specials associated with that weapon. Not all weapon certifications are listed with the corresponding skill box in which the weapon can be used effectively by. These 'unlisted' certifications include a number of special looted and quest related items. Some weapons actually use cross profession skill modifiers and abilities. A list of these items along with what skill set they they become certified with is provided below: Innate Certifications Innate Certs : There a number of innate certifications that races get automatically upon character creation. There 10 for Wookiees and 9 for all other races. They are: CDEF Pistol CDEF Carbine CDEF Rifle Stone Knife Survival Knife C12 Grenade (Probably applies to Zicx Bug Bomb as well) Heavy Axe Wooden Staff Bowcaster (wookiee only) Other Weapons Beam Rifle (No Certification.
