Yeah I had a question about experimentation too. See i'm no crafter, and I was wondering how it works visually - for example, if the helmet before experimentation was 75% knetic/special and 75% base, will it show the potential outcome when you adjust the slider for another point, or do you have to guess?

Also, the components i'm bringing you soon for my next peices should all hit 80/80 easily, but i'm wondering if its worth using a knetic layer or finding another high % shard string (2 strings i have now are 13% and 10%) and just experimenting up the special to 80% without a layer, if even possible.

I do agree that the helmet keuller got is perfect, 80/80/stun+acid vuln is my goal for all my RIS peices.

Kayxfour,

On the boots I made a while ago, we got to 77% kinetic and 80% base without using kinetic layers. The layers I used in that were 14%, 14%, 3%. I also used a 5% yellow cube. Shards were used in special slot to reduce encumbrance. That should give you and idea though of how much you would need for the base %, to avoid using kinetic layers. My guess if you can get 40% worth of base, you wouldnt need a kinetic layer, thus making encumbrance very low.

As it stands, im looking at 10% (NS layer) + 13% (NS layer) + 4% (yellow cube) so i'm already at 27%, I could probably find more 9% layers to get it up to 36%, but i'm using exceptional shards with really nice encumberance reduction so I can't toss those in favor of a jinda hide to hit that extra 4%+ to make the 40% base. As it stands ive got all my stuff laid out and this is what i'm going with:

Pants layer:
(Knetic layer from tuanga, unsure of stats)
14% -8 action NS layer
10% -17 action NS layer
4% Yellow Geo Cube
-32/-34/-26 (approximately) exceptional NS shard

Helmet layer:
(Knetic layer from tuanga, unsure of stats)
14% -8 action NS layer
10% -17 action NS layer
4% Yellow Geo Cube
-32/-34/-26 (approximately) exceptional NS shard

Remaining 6 layers: (all parts in strings of 7 matching for a factory run)
(Knetic layer from tuanga, unsure of stats)
14% -8 action NS layer
10% -17 action NS layer
3% Yellow Geo Cube (hell trying to find 4%'s, still looking)
-24/-19/-15 NS shards (approximately, still looking for better in the time being)

Any advice on improvements is more than welcome, i'm fairly sure i'll keep with what i've got for the first two layers, but the components for the factory run are a bit lacking.
