Armorsmith Archive

Im new to the armorsmithing line, just got PA2 today, and halfway to PA3.... Was wondering if it has been brought up to the Devs about crafters earning a certain amount of faction points and being able to buy a schematic to make Marine and Storm Trooper armor? I just think that crafters whom wish to participate this would be one way we could "help" the cause... making that type of armor more accessible to the general population and what not.... or droid engineers being able to make At-St,, etc.... If this has been addressed I apologize, again Im new. And if it seems like an ignorant question, that is because I am ignorant on the subject.....

It could actually be an interesting idea for high-levelfaction missions. Such as the "What faction orders are avaliable" which I have yet to see a use for. The recruiters could have various high-end crafting missions and others to build for example and at-st for the Empire.

If you have the Prima Strategy Guide, they actually adress this in the back.

Faction Armors purchased with FPs are supposed to be wearable onely when Overt, and have limited stats.

Armorsmiths are supposed to be able to purchase schematics for Faction Armors. These crafted armors are meant to be wearable even when Covert, and have better stats.

To my knowledge, however, Faction Armor Schematics are not in game yet, and you do not have to be Overt to wear Faction Armors. Of course, my only Faction is Jabba...so I can not actually confirm this.

for rebel armor you can wear when u are covert just look around; u can only equip it when u are overt and if you take it off when u are covert you have to redeclair to put it back on

Id like to state im not an armorsmith but there was a discussion along time ago that i remember seeing where armorsmiths were wanting to to make Faction armor and at that time i was against it because it was the best armor there was at that time, that now is no longer the case.

Since we are in Starwars Galaxy we should be seeing tons of storm trooper people walking around but there really is only a handful of imperials walking around with this on which is a shame, it by all means should be the best armor in the game followed by marine armor. What they should do is set it up so you armorsmiths will have to rank in the Army of whatever faction you choose to join and would have to get a high enough rank so you could save up for the Armor schematics to build it which it would be a one time thing only to get and it should be pretty high to get id put it at 20k faction points or maybe even higher to make these armorsmiths rare.

Now when you attempt to make the armor you MUST be overt (which i guess this could make it more dangerous but not really to make) and there should be differences if you were an imperial Armorsmith vs a Rebel armorsmith, that being Imperial armorsmiths will make stronger armor with the storm trooper armor and it should be the best in the game best stats that there is (but only second or third best encumbrance to wear) but they CAN NOT change the color only White armor.

Rebel armorsmith though should be able to make there armor which should be teh second best armor to wear but should have the best encumbrances of all the armor since its suppose to be LIGHT armor to wear so you can move around in, but the rebel armor by ALL means should be able to be diffrent colors(so we can get rid of the UGLY puke green color) even if its just diffrent shades of green id rather that armor be Dark Dark green to wear, or maybe make it a camaflauge color green or something.

But by useing this system it would give armorsmiths a purpose to rank and get faction points and fight to a degree but also to make the faction armor back to where the level they should be in the game as a very good thing to wear, as it stands at the moment WHY would anypne(other than roleplaying) want to wear a full set of stormtroooper armor or Marine armor when you can get Composite which are in some cases twice as good as those.

Im sorry if this has been done to death on here and if you dont like my idea thats ok just an idea to make armorsmiths very high buisness and appreciated from there respective factionsand make GREAT money in doing so since they would be rare....

they should simply add the schems from faction armor to the rebel or imp recruiter at a high price (higher than all the armorpieces by them selves)so that you don't just get it all at once, you earn the right to make it.

They would have to do them as expensive schematics of limited numbers of use. Otherwise it'll just piss off all the people that payed their 16-17k faction for the whole suit.

I have a full suit of rebel armor, actually i was one of the first to get it after launch i grinded for 2 weeks to get it all and that was back when the easist thing was a imperial trooper camps to kill, i used it so much everything on its stats is down and needs repairing badly.

Now if an armorsmith made this low encumbrance armor with better stats than composisite then id MORE than willing to go buy it as this would be easier to get for me and it would be worth wearing again and i dont think anybody would get made because we improved an armor which hardly anybody wears anymore, right now marine and storm trooper armor is a novelty thing to have
