Armorsmith Archive

appearance materials only count towards condition. They can make about a 10k difference in condition if you use really crappy compared to really good, however they are all fairly generic and if you have materials to craft cores you should have materials to craft their respective appearances.

I just have a simple question; I have some resources stokcpiled, and ran some factories of cores. Now, which novice armorsmith armor item is the best for grinding? Right now I'm making Mabari Armor Chestplates, but they take a helluva lot of resources. Is there anything that gives better xp? And which items do you use to grind the rest of AS?

just want to add that the essencial tool for any crafter new or old would have to be Fooman's /JnF SWGCtool i found that it has help me keep track of resources and is also connected with the SWGCraft website that normally has uptodate info, cant remember what site i got it from (maybe on SWGCraft.com still) if anyone knows where to find might want to add it here

got some questions:

1. guide dont tell about crafting station.. what is the crafting station called and what stat should it have ?

2. the 12 point armorsmith that all AS has in their tag..what does it mean? is it CA's that gives better crafting abilities ??

3. what is best to craft when i grind from zero to master ?

4. when i need a factory, what type of factory do i need ?

edit -- 5. what crafting tool name and stat should i go look for?

edit -- 6. dont i need any other equipment on my body to craft better?

1) Clothing and Armor Crafting Station. +45 would be a perfect station (not possible yet, I don't think). Or use a droid with a built-in station.

2) Yes, it is a smith with +20 or more to armor experimentation from CAs. You get 12 experimentation points instead of 10.

3) Spend some time browsing the posts in this forum. This thread is on the front page (at the moment):

4) Wearables Factory

5) Clothing and Armor Crafting Tool. 15.00 is a perfect tool. It is possible to make these.

6) Not really

last question before my AS journey how many + armor experimentationCAs should i try to getand put on a cloth suite ? u mention +20 or more but if we say +20 is minimum what should max be ?

Nothing beyond +20 will give you any more experimentation points. Getting to +30 won't make you a 13-point smith, for example. +25 is the cap for experimentation bonuses (although your skill sheet will show whatever mods you have. My standard kit is +27) and there seems to be some benefit to getting to +25 (experimentation failures are extremely rare for me) but there's not really any proof of concrete benefits.

and now days 12 point smith only really helps on PSGs and increasing condition. A lot of armor components (and especially the appearance part) don't use even all 10 of your points 'cause they only have one line to experiment on.

im about to buy CA's so i can get up to +25 armor experimentation <-- am i doing the right thing?

also i see there are CA's with armor assembly.. should i buy so i have +25 of them too?

Just polymer. And there are specific uses for gravitonic, Dathomir, Corellia, and Naboo fiberplast, but those and any other fiberplast can be used in recon segments.
