I have been a Master Armorsmith for nearly a year now and still cant make the high base/ low ham armor. I have excellent resources...the best I make is 80% Kin/62% Base...HAM on Chest is 248 or 80% Kin/7% Stun/66% Base (High HAM)..What am I doing wrong? I use three kin layers..is that right? Can anyone help me?

You give me too much credit. I'm really a little shop that happened to pull in way more business that I ever expected. Elood and Jett try harder than I do to really push the craft on our server.


I've never even tried to go above 70% base. All of my kinetic comp is sold sliced, so I just play around with resources until I hit 70% on base. I don't think the PvE'ers who buy the encumbrance slices would pay more for an extra 1% or 2%, but there's some psychological thing with breaking out of the 60's that makes it sell. Effectiveness slices all come down to the actual slice anyway, so I don't think it's worth it there either.


I just use 70% base as a target and only use what I need to use to get there. Really makes the materials stretch. As I said, I'm really a small shop at heart, so making those resources stretch is the only way I can keep up.

Ive seen 74% on Chilastra...but only on one vendor.



We had that on Ahazi, but it was a guy that made a ton of 74% base chest plates during the one day crafting changes.
