Thread: Making 8100+ energy recon armour (need help)

Yes this is correct .
I know what i am doing and i would like to know what resourses fellow AS on ahazi are using so i can cash in my Deeds .
My energy layers are hitting 90%
I think it might be my core or segment resourses .
Or do i need higher % in layeres?
Well, if your layers are at 90%, and you're getting 8095, then you're cores are capped already. ( I dunno why you're getting 8095, since your layers have to be 91.25% to hit 8095, but let's go on)
Meaning better segment and core resources won't get you anywhere.
In order to hit 8100, your layers have to be 91.666% or better.
But my questions are,
Why use a 30K deed to get an extra few points on LAYERS?- Layers arethe most wasteful placeyou canuse the 30K for. It has the worst cost performance.
How much does a 30K deed go for on your server? Will you actually make more money using a deed and selling 8100's or willyou be better off selling 8095's? - remember the markup for the 30K deed cost.

Just to be cheaky
Here's something odd about this... With the same basic energy layers 94/-95, I crafted a fewsegments with two different resources used for partof it. They were both high but the one I recently attained was much better. The segments looked like this in energy.
1351 - nice stuff
1360 - new NICE stuff
Making cores from those above layers and then crafting a piece of padded armor out of them got me 7145 energy in BOTH.
So, focus on the layers.
I just made some 96/-97 layers and can't wait to make 7 Suits of RIS from them.

As others have said, you need to think or layers and segment/cores separately. As soon as you are capping unlayered armor the only thing that will improve the final energy bonus you see is improving you layer resources.
