I can regularly get 3/13 but 3/14 is pretty amazing. But, try experiment full lines instead of each point.

"this was pretty tough to hit considering it took 11 points of amazings"
What does that mean? You got 11 consecutive amazings?
I am a 10 pts armorsmith, with +20 Force sensitive experimentation and drink Bespin port, use 900+ materials andthe maxI can get is only two consecutive amazings per hour of fast experimentation.....Never got more than two consecutives...
Am I doin sthg wrong? or are the +20 armor experimentation points a MUST if u want to get more than 2 amazings?
Anyway, congratulations to you!

Was real happy today after a couple hours experimenting that I was able to hit 14% Kinetic 3% base. I am 12 Point AS but this was pretty tough to hit considering it took 11 points of amazings. Is this typical or something a lil special. Anyways I was hoping this would get me the 80% padded I was hoping for but only got me to 77%. My cubirian steel is hampering me, there has never been a good spawn of it and my mine is about 650/620 oq sr. Anyways wanted to share that accomplishment.

the way I think it went was I threw down 8 points at once on the special resist(kin) hit an amazing, then did one point didnt hit a amazing but got me 14 kin, then put 3 points into effectiveness and hit another amazing for the 3 base. 11 points total in amazings.

Yes they are nice. I would save a few for RIS and put the rest in a run of ubese.
If you have the time always shoot for double Amazing layers like you had on these. I dont belive i have made a run of layers or segs in the last 2 months that hasnt been that way. However that probably just says i have way too much time on my hands to work at getting the perfect layers

i only do wook and padded armor.. i have to use 14% for padded.. i had great POLY and Metal, but my gemstone had to really be UBER to get that 14% to show..

I only do padded and wookie as well, and 13% is the best that I have done. I guess 10pts isn't all that great.

Amazings isn't actually what got him the 14 Kinetic. It was his resources. The Amazings allowed him to put more into the base. A ten point smith has the same chance as any 12 point smith to get 14 Kinetic layers. The extra points a 12 point smith haswill go into either durability or base.
I think the 12 point smith will be the bomb when the Combat Revamp happens. Then, they will make the same light stuff as the 10 pointer, but their resists will be greater. Right now 12 points is bragging rights. Later, they will truely be king.

even now without 12exp points you cant really be competitive on armor. none of my highend(high margin) armors can be made without 12points and 10-11 points of amazing on every step.
sure you can get 80/80/80 stuff with 10 points but then i can do it with my 2nd and 3rd tier resources on those crap suits. The ultralight 80k65b 70base/27stun 67base/40stun all take 12 points

I was commenting onrockanddroll's statement above. 10 point smiths can make just as high resistson Layers andSegments and even the final result. If you can make 14% Kinetic layers with 2nd and 3rd tier crap resources, then you must have the most amazing spawns of resources this side of heaven. 12 point smiths can't experimentbeyond the limit of the resources. Unless the crafting code has been altered in the past few hours...
In this era of armor, low HAM (Ultralight) has no impact in game. Only style.
