Yep, I am familiar with armor crafting both pre and post cu. I studied in pre, but didn't actually start my AS until after. I didn't use money or any help from my combat toon and was producing in just about two months. Remember, work hard and gather your own resources. Don't expect to be able to produce overnight and lower quality armor still sells as EVERYBODY seems to be doing the jedi grind. It wiil be hard for an AS to give you his segments and cores because that IS what defines the amor and that would just be putting your name on our hard work and none of us really want to do that.
There is a huge need for AS, be patient and you'll do fine!

dude collect my own resources who would do that, TAKES FOREVER ( WASTE OF MY LIFE) I PLAY THIS GAME ENOUGH, i buy my resources , i don't have not even one combat profession, i usuaslly buy 100k of resources for like 200k - 300k i spent about 2 mil the past month but its much easier than surveying and gathering your own.

dude you wanna be an armoursmith this is what it takes i cant see any armoursmith selling his cores to someone not after having put some much time and effort into them i know i wouldnt unless it was to a friend and even then it would be enought to make one or two sets of armour

So you spent 2M on cheap 2-3CPU resources and expect to be able to make decent armor?
Trust me, 2M for AS resources won't get you far unless you start harvesting yourself.
Plus, you don't have a combat toon and you don't have time to go harvesting?
What do you do in-game then?
Whatever it is, If you're not up to it, I don't think this profession is for you.

i have spent over 60 million on armoursmith so far and still havent made cap and still have a way to go before i do and collectiny your own resources is the way to go paying for them just doesnt pay
I don't think any of us got it wrong. All of us make armor and had to get there one way or the other.
I spent about equal amounts of time doing swordsman and armorsmith. Had to harvest as much of my own stuff as possible. MUCH CHEAPER that way.
If you think this is bad, wait until you reach master and getting the stats on your armor that others have is completely out of your reach. I can almost promise you that there are some resources needed that the smiths on your server will not sell....period.
What you have said indicates that you want someone to give you what you need to grind AS. At least, that's what I read into it. No one likes people that expect something for nothing. Especially the ones that have been through it, worked to overcome obstacles, and are now enjoying the fruits of their labor.
Running out of resources and money is an obstacle you will have to overcome. If you don't learn how to do it now, you will be back in a week...asking for more handouts.

Guys i'm just trying to grind not make good armor YET, Once i become master i'm gonna do the armorsmith mission to get RIS (which i read about and i know its a ***** to get) ... And i'm asking for cheap no good quality at all segments and cores so i can grind not good ones lol.. sorry if you guys thot wrong..
I'm not sure this will help you, as you seem to want to skip this part, but here is a way to make the initial grind easier.
Step 1. Run Artisan Resource Missions for Credits. Just pick up a Steel or Named Steel (dependant on your level of survey) and run out and find it to complete your mission. Make a waypoint to that spot and return to the artisan Mission term. Make sure you go through the list of available missions until you find the mission for the steel twice, then run to waypoint, survey, get money, repeat till bored. Do this for 1/2 hour each day before you start crafting and the grind will go faster. You seem to have cash and probably dont need this step.
Step 2. Make 2 or 3 personal harvesters. I know you dont want to really harvest, or atleast that was way I took it, but this will keep your cost and time down. Just make the harvesters yourself, the cheap ones from Engineering tiers 3 and 4 of Artisan (you have to have them for AS anyway) and place them on the resources needed for battle segments. Find a low-level scout and either tag along and get hide/bone or give him a bit of cash for his crappy stuff, which shouldnt cost much.
Step 3. Hand-craft your segments. Just make a bunch in a row, say 20, and get the XP from each one. Use the segments you made to make Battle Cores, and get the xp from them. Now use the cores tomake Bone Arm Pieces. Put the bone arm pieces up on bazaar for going rate based on what quality you achieve and they usually sell fairly quickly. You wont need a factory for the arm pieces as they all take just 1core. I'm not even sure why, but it works. This way you can get a bit more credits for your time spent, wont be much, buy anything is always better than nothing.
