Why do the noobs always have to call things hoaxes when they don't know **edit** about crafting themselves?
Very nice, too bad this couldnt be a helmet or a chest plate tho, but still quite nice ![]()

Here it is, unsliced and hot out of the crafting tool. I honestly hope this never gets sliced, because no matter what the result, it would obscure how perfect this was.
Beautiful! Where's the full suit?

Thank you Arox for posting this - the response on our home server was distinctly underwhelming, but I'm glad other armoursmiths appreciate how nice this is. This is Darvell, by the way, the guy who put that together.
For those interested in the exact recipe, it goes like this:
1 12% NS layer
1 7% NS layer
1 crafted RIS layer (3% base, -7/-7/-7)
1 NS shard (-20/-13/-24)
Stats on the segments were:
Base 43%
Integrity 1238
-22/-29/-21
Elec 8%
This piece will never be sliced, as Arox suggests - however, I do have 4 more segments from this run left, and I am open to suggestions as to what to do with them.

I was under the impression that a RIS layer couldnt be used in any other type of armor unless you were making like Ubese gloves or something. How do you get around the single Peko feather, i.e. don't all the different Peko feathers have different serial numbers? Therefore all the layers would have a different serial numbers right? I don't understand how that schematic was made with a RIS layer.

Peko feathers have no serial, and can thus be used interchangeably. The layer made with them has a serial, but the feathers themselves do not, allowing a schem to be made from them that can use any peko feather.

If anyone ever needs a demonstration on the differences between a masterarmorsmith and a armorsmithing master, there you have it ![]()

That's insane.......what would you estimate auction value at? All in all, how much would you say that cost to make?
Nice work, as somebody already said, armorsmithing master. There should be a badge obtained when items of that caliber are crafted.

I'd say it cost way more to make than I could ever sell it for.Let's see...
Set of 8 12% layers - 16 mil at auction, though this price was artificially inflated by one rather vindictive little worm of a bidder, probably around the 5-6 mil mark at true value
Set of 7 7% layers - free, though they would normally retail for around the 750k-1 mil mark on our server
7 Peko feathers - also free (I happen to live next to one of their favourite spawning grounds, and so get about 5-6 a week just killing them as I run my factories), but someone buys them for around 250k per on our server, so let's call it that
Set of 7 -20 shards - free because I stole it from Arox's loot
, but again, probably around the 750k mark
Total value - priceless, but only to me.
So out of that 18-19 mil or so, I have 6 segments that can make stuff like this. In truth, it wouldn't go for more than 250k or so at auction, I imagine, because you know what customers are like. They'd look at this and go 'thats crap it has no stun, my rifleman would so kill u dead' or 'ha u noob i have 90% base armour and nobody cares about ham anyway coz i buff even if i just have to walk down the hall to take a dump'. So it really has no value apart from me being able to look at it and say, yes, I beat the system - I hit the resist cap and the HAM cap in a single piece.
However, I'm very happy to hear all the glowing praise in this thread, so thank you all - you restore my faith in the armoursmithing profession as a whole.

so that means that you cant pass 80% base resists because of a cap in place?
