The reason we dont see as much padded armor is that is requires lok leather and yavian wooly that rarely spawn with good stats.

The resource gates are taken into account in figuring the final stats. So if Lok Leather is gated at say 400SR, and the devs want the armor to be max of 70% base, they will actually code it to be max of say 78%, to make up for the fact that Lok Leathery always stinks.

And the reason you don't see much padded is probably because it has nothing on comp, other than some people prefer the look. It's just as heavy and doesn't provide the same protection. If padded was comparable to ubese or composite, as these new Kash suits are supposed to be, then you would see more of it. Right now it just isn't worth the trouble.

Can we just try it out for a bit before we all **edit** about it? There's a reason that its on test center before it goes live. I'm sure that the horn will either become harvestable, or be removed. As for all the organic and wood. Boohoo. You're a member of the richest profession in the game. I'm sure you can deal with it.

Yup, good point.

Sure, the requirements are rather harsh, but, then there is always a bright side.

You remember we always hear this argument whenever something good for older armorsmith to improve their skil?

"There is no room for new armorsmith to compete older armorsmith in market, the gap is always widenning blah blah, no crafting day, no 14pts smith!"

Now, here is the opportunity for new armorsmiths. Older smiths can't afford collecting another batch of new type of resouces due to storage problem... so, here it is. If I were now working toward master armorsmith, i will definately make a shopspecialized inwookie armors! This will keep me busy im sure.
