Thread: Weaponsmith going -> Armorsmith...how good are these resources?
- colat Iron 958 oq, 735 sr
- polysteel copper 975 oq, 752 sr, 960 ma, 748 ut
- Intrustive ore 932 oq, 938 sr
- solid petro 780 oq
- no naboo fiberplast
- beyrillius copper 904 oq, 385 sr
- wooly hide 960 oq
- steel 843 oq, 947 sr, 992 ut
- crism ore 500 oq, 230 sr
- vertex gem 955 oq, 966 sr
- aluminum 933 oq, 743 sr
- skevon gas 918 oq
- amorp gem 809 oq, 507 sr
most this stuff works real well for being a weaponsmith....how about armorsmith..? Sorry I didnt copy down all the MA & UT
Sorry man you will never make it as an Armorsmith. I being thevery kind person I am though would take them from you and dispose of them in a proper way.
Seriously though, from the stats I am getting from my so-so resources you should get some 67%-?? experiments if you do it right.

Heh there, Zaphod, watchadoin' going AS? Sounds like everybody and their alt's going AS nowadays. 
Well, if you're gonna do it anyway, my advice on resources is: try to get >1600 for OQ+SR and OQ+MA, as much as you can. UT is the fourth attribute to check, but it only affects durability, so it's not a biggie. If you want high resists, go for high OQ+SR. If you're concerned about encumbrance, then give more weight to OQ+MA. They all figure in the experimentation effectivenessequations in 50/50 proportions, so it's easy to see how they will work at a glance at their attributes.
You *will* have trouble finding named resources that either spawn very rarely (axidite iron, neutronium steel, and vertex crystalline gems, for example) or others that have capped attributes. I just made Master AS about 3 weeks ago, I'm still scrounging for many materials I don't have, or for better spawns than the ones that I do.
So, your stash looks pretty decent, with a few good ones, and a few mediocres. The key is to start your harvesting and stocking early, while you're still grinding to master.
Good luck, and have fun with the prof!

Some of theese resources are about as good as they can get (within like 100 of the absolute maximum for OQ+SR for the particular material), including the colat, polysteel, beyrllius copper, vertex, alu and intrusive ore.
The amorphous gems are kind of crappy, try getting some high OQ vendusii, as theese will have a SR rating in the 850-900 range. Known Solid petro should be possible to find in 900+ OQ without too much hassle. The crism isnt the best out there, but it is pretty rare, so it probably works.
But all in all it should be enough to make some high end advanced composite, you just need to get your hands on some good Kiirium steel and you should be all set.
There is 807 OQ kiirium on dantooine on tempest atm (the best combinedOQ/MA kiirium since server inception, second best OQ/SR)... That colat he has is the best that has spawned on server... The beryllius is best OQ, second best combined MA/OQ, OQ/SR...
I don't recommend vendusii... its the second best overall amorphous... vertex is the best crystalline, ba'tal'ran is the best amorphous for SR (high 900's usually like the vertex)...
Nabooian fiber has been pretty crappy since startup... 1 spawn with OQ in the 900's (but the other stats were poor)

Established well known smiths make millions and millions of dollars. New smiths have trouble as most people have their own happy armorsmith that they go to and don't want to go anywhere else.
Well I worked hard to build a solid customer base, so I'm going to do what i can to retain it =)
