What the f.......??
My first response to the resource list in guild chat elicited the response "I don't think I have ever heard Tes curse... this must be bad."
These requirements are ludicrous. The evergreen and conifer woods are shi... cra.... grrrrrr... and horn... and Corellian wooly... oh yes so obtainable takes hours to even get 500.. and.. and... *reminds herself to breath and begins counting to try to cool her nerves*. This is FAR worse than never giving the wookiees any armor. Ludicrous!
/end sarcasm
I don't know what to say about this. HORNS? I have gotten a total of 3 horns in my time playing SWG. This MUST be a cruel joke. Is it April 1st somewhere and we just don't know about it?

Holy Snot! Are they serious?
With the number of specific organics needed to make this armor it's easily going to be the absolutely most expensive armor in the game to create. Especially considering that this armor is comming before rangers get a fix that allows them to harvest ALOT more than they do now. The 10,000 Lokian Leathery hide alone is going to force the price of the armor through the roof.
As for the dantooine HORN. With the current "container" bugs it's highly unlikely that you'll ever be able to aquire enough to create one set of the armor never mind more.
Then of course there are the stat caps on the wood which has never spawned with armor smith quality stats. This is going to severely limit how good the armor is.
I'm very dissapointed with this information. As a wookiee I'm upset that this armor is obviously going to cost alot. As an armorsmith I'm upset about 2 things, the fact that this armor will not stack up against ubese and composite because it's limited by the wood stats (which never has gotten up to armor smith quality stats), and I'm also upset that this armor is going to require large quantities of great quality organic resources that I will not be able to sell these to my breatheren at a fair price.
I'm sorry but IMHO this is unacceptable. Organic requirements such as hide/bone should be reduced and that 10k Lokian hide requirement needs to be replaced with resources that can actually be aquired in large quantities at decent prices such as metals.
Horns are bad enough but who knows what the Dev's have in store, but
Corellian Wooly is a cruel joke. Paralopes and Durni's do not drop near enough hide to even make it worthwhile.
Damn, I was really hoping I wouldnt have to re-roll my wookiee after playing him for over a year and hoping the devs would get around to fixing the gimp we were dealt. Oh well, off to join the ranks of Humans and Zabracks everywhere.
