It's pretty bad we only get 3 types of armor that take messed up components and is hardly ever stocked.

BUt we can only wear a bando and a belt while we wear our armor,and we don't have boots or gloves that we can wear with mods in either clothing or armor.


Now why do we get shafted so badly?


Are there any plans to add anything to the wookiee armor line? Or some way of making the wookiee bracers take BE mods?

If you were playing on Gorath, you could walk into my shop and get a suit of armor any time you wanted.

I've always been surprised by the tenacity with which the devs stick to some aspects of canon (no boots and gloves on wooks or trandos) while we have such a huge infestation of jedi. But look at it this way, you have three unique armors that only you can wear. You're not cheated. You're special!.

I have no problems with different abilities and requirements for different races, but with this game's lack of documentations, a new player really has to do some research to find out what they are.

Pfft..wookiees moan when they dont have any types of armour...then they moan when they do.


I know wooks used to get a racial bonus of extra HAM pre-CU which used to make up for not having armour when the game first came out...but guess thats not so much the case now.


Some races need sorting out and if the devs ever sorted all races out to be equal then more than likely we would all lose lots of places where we would get sockets to match teh amount wooks have, rather than give the wooks more, knowing SOE.

Actually when you first create your character and you are cycling through the different races it does show what mods they recieve in the window. Its below the description of the race.

But yes I agree if you are brand new those numbers really dont mean too much unless you know exactly what your gonna be doing with your char. Like I would definantly choose a sullustan if I was gonna be a shipwright. Or a human if I wanted to make artisan stuff to get to 14pt. etc.

How many times do you see a jedi hitting a person before they die in the movies?.. right...And how much armor does Han Solo or any of them wear in the movies?...right...


GAME - MOVIES are two different worlds that only meet through sad representations of the acctual movie characters.


I'd be happy with those 3 if they were even made a 1/4 of the time on my server, instead of I'll have to do a special run for you.

The Species mods have always been out of whack and with the game chaging so much most mods are useless. Twi'Lek's lost 2 of them with the BF thing, and Wookiees will be losing on with the Ranger redo in the works.

Thanks,

But I'm on Lowca...

Lowca isn't what it used to be, and the only place to see anyone playing is in the MO, on dant. Even Cnet is a ghost town now...(no more buff lines, no more Cnet) not even any AFK dancers in the cantina.

The smith should not have to do a special run for you unless he/she does not have armor padding or the particular endor wood in stock.


Wookie armor takes a core like any other skin, it just requires endor wood and armor padding at the final combine stage. As long as the smith has these available then it can be treated like any other custom skin request. Unless of course you have a particular specialised core in mind with some special layering.


IF you really want to help the smith and make it really easy for them, look on the bazaar and buy some good looted cores in your armor type, see if you can get a crate of armor padding from bazaar or tailor vendor and grab a few k of the correct endor wood, and take these along to your smith


final combine materials are as follows


Kashyyykian
black mountain (battle)
1) wooly 2) endorian evergreen 3) cloth 4) padding


ceremonial (recon)
1) leathery 2) endor conifer 3) cloth 4) padding


hunting (assault)
1) scaley 2) endorian deciduous 3) cloth 4) padding

The limiting factor for me in the endorian wood. It is almost impossible to get a decent spawn for my wookiee friends! (When I'm not sacrificing them to the socket or repair gods that is! )
