You need to take a Bio Engineer, Tailor and Armor smith into the caves to craft it on the spot..

What i was wondering was what resources those 3 (or specificly the AS) need to bring to the dungeon next to their trusty crafting tool..

And please, don't hijack this thread to complain about it being crafted or not (tbh you miss understood the thread you read, since it does need to be crafted on the spot, and it isnt just a new schematic any AS can craft up at any time, it will prob be more rare.. It's harder to keep 3 crafters alive while they try to build an armor piece, then it is to kill 10 npc's untill they drop a armor piece).






Er I think you mean Droid Engineer not Bio Engineer.

As someone else pointed out, it's droid engineer and not bio-engineer. Anyway, I don't think there are any resources you need to take with you. From what I read it sounds like you need to loot the materials from inside the dungeon and then take those to the appropriate droid and have it assemble the pieces.


If I remember right you do not necessarily need to take the armorsmith, DE, and tailor in at the same time. Each of the 3 professions gets specific pieces that they alone can make and are not dependant on the other two to assist in the creation.

i think that it is a good idea for the armour to be craftable because all these other armour are starting to get borring even though you see people with different colours it would be a good idea if they actualy decided to add more armour types and probally some more that are suited to certain races like the wookies. tbh there should be armours cus all i seem to now is everyone with composite armour. and some people even have the same colour. i also think they should also increase the customisation for the armour smith. like add some armour tatoos or somthing. it would just be nice to see some new armour.


i dont expect poeple to agree with me it just seems to be a good idea really.

Test center notes say that you'll be automatically booted from the room you have to craft it in after 5 mins so you have to work fast.

By what I have read is that the room you need to access in order to assemble the 3 pieces required by the armorsmith can only be accessed if the armorsmith is in the group and within a certain radius just to get in. You will also be required to find bounty hunter armor, which is looted piece by piece(this is what is converted into mandalorian armor) not to mention that resources are required, but can only be found at the death watch bunkers(more than likely by either looting, or by accessing a certain spawn. I have also read that mandolorian armor may be BH armor only, but that is based off of rumors.

I really do wish that the bunker was instanced like the corellian corvette and they should make it damn near impossible to complete. So if someone is capable of actually completeing the dungeon, they sure as hell deserve to have mandalorian armor. I really would hate to see another camp fest like the Geo caves. I went to that place 2 times since it opened and have never returned. Those types of caves really bring out the worst in players.

Youhave to loot Bounty Hunter Armor and convert it into Mandolorian. As of yesterday (not sure about last night), only two pieces of the armor had been found in the bunker and the place just got more difficult.

While it isn't instanced, my understanding is that right now the place is darn difficult to complete. Better bring a full group (20) and some docs for rebuffs and rezzes.

We had a fairly decent group of about 12 a few nights ago and we barely made any progress. Those SBDs and BDs kept respawning on us right about the time we killed the first ones and that was before the devs revamped their resists to be similar to the corvette droids. Now you definitely need a big, experienced group. You'll probably want lots of BHs with LLCs and a few Docs and CMs for rezzing and ranged stims.

I apologize,I probably have not followed this topic as closely as I should. But have any complete Mandolorian suits been created yet? Do we have any idea on the stats?

None have been crafted yet and as a matter of fact, no one has even found out the actual way to make it. By what I have read is that you need to loot all the pieces of bounty hunter armor, do some quests in the death watch bunker in order to get the other resources components, it sounds like it will involve slaves giving you the quests and rewards(this is still a little unclear) then after those components, there are specific rooms you need to get to that have the tools that the crafter uses. 1 room for Armorsmiths, one room for droid engineers, and 1 room for talors. Now when you get to those rooms, the crafters must be present in order for you to even gain access. Once you get in, the crafters have to use all the components in a special crafting machine that will create the final madalorian armor, not to mention that supposedly the room will be under attack while this all happens. After the crafter is done and the machine gives the final armor pieces, you have to inse and repeat for the other 2 crafters. If this is the actual case, then I am very glad, Mandalorian armor is gonna be very hard to come by. but the very sad part, is that all the most powerful guilds in the game will have sets. Good luck not being in a guld and getting people to help you geta set of mandalorian armor.

I did, that is why I am asking. It doesn't cleary say if any pieces havebeen made by anyone yet and it appears that no on above is on the TC. It just talks about it not being an AS schematic and it is not a standard crafted item. That is why I asked if anything had been created rather thanusing the wordcrafted. If it is on the TC, then it is a reasonable question. So is the status just a non-functioning Death Watch bunker with non-functioning quests?


-Thanks

Bah, too many threads about this subject. I thought I stated that I've been to the Bunker a few times in this thread but I obviously didn't.


Ok, I've been down there a few times and the reason why none has been crafted yet is because it is extremely difficult to advance in the bunker. The droids are now about the same as the ones on the corvette and also have fairly quick respawn times. The reason none has been crafted yet in my opinion is because there hasn't been a 'real' organized group that has set out to actually accomplish something as far as I know. Mainly been groups of 10 or so with a Doc or two that just want to check the place out. There is a group being organized for a true attempt at doing everything the bunker has to offer but organizing play-times will probably take some time. If this group of TC veterans aren't able to accomplish what the bunker has to offer then......GOOD LUCK!!
