Here are a few pieces of information you may find worth knowing when planning how to experiment your segment and final assembly. If you haven't completed the RIS quest yet, you can get much of this information by taking careful notes when making your quest items.

Know your materials:

How much kinetic resist will your materials add on final assembly? For example, if I have a 54% kinetic RIS segment, and I make a piece of armor with it, that piece will start at 76% kinetic. Thus, my materials add 22% kinetic.

How much base resist will your materials add on final assembly? For myself, I don't recall off the top of my head as base resist was not a primary goal for the suit I made for myself. I could find this out, though, by taking a look at my notes.

How it experiments:

I got 2 1/2 % Kinetic increases for each 1 point great success on the segment kinetic resist.

I got 4 1/2 % kinetic increases for each 1 point great success on the final assembly kinetic resist. This experiment also adds condition, but I don't recall how much.

You could also concern yourself with how base experiments on the segment and the final assembly.

I imagine you can think of quite a few more things that would be useful, depending on what you have in mind for your armor.

Damn my Light Formula is in it

Maiby link my post in it to give them form hardcore info what NS/Geo Loot is needed to use to get it

Just a quick question, i have aload of Rancor Hide which was given to me, but i've never used, so if i'm using Rancor hide instead of Janta Hide on the non-interwoven seg, is that gonna push the Heat and Cold stats which the Rancor Hide has into special?? and if so, when i experiment on special will those stats increase too, or still just the Kinetic (Using 2 Kinetic Layers also)

Thanks,
Jay

it will push them into special

experimention on special will NOT increase heat and cold like experimention on special on comp does, unless the rancor hides are +5% I wouldnt use them personally

ok cool, thanx for the response. I have some 7% Base Rancor Hides, so i'll probably use them.

Quick question....when doing interwoven, are you maxing out the special on the kinetic layers like you do for the non-interwoven?

What the .... ?! I just wanted to click on reply to ask almost the same question here.

I'm wondering if i should max the special protection of the 3 kinetic layers i want to use for interwoven RIS. I'm able to experiment them on 95% each, so the layers alone would bring me to about 43% kinetic.... but would that be a waste because i'd hit 80% kinetic without any experimenting in the final combine way earlier?

Lol....i had only planned to use 1 kinetic layer and 2 NS layers. I haven't seen the layers the customer is providing, but I just wanted to understand the assumption in the guide.
