I made some the other day that was crap

74-79% Kin
26-34% base

Used -8 RIS layers and base shards and got an encumb in the 190 range on all stats

A little optimiztion and this should work out 80% kin adn the same encumb

*Disclaimer* It was a I want to wander around in my RIS and dont want to have to buff to wear kinda suit..

I believe the original poster asked if it was possible


the possibilities of RIS make it much better than comp


the "best" mathmatical RIS suit is 44% stun 80% kin and 90% base with 0/0/0 HAM


the "best" mathmatical comp suit is 44% stun 80% elec 90% base with 0/0/0 HAM



RIS can stomp composite if you know what you are doing. For the poster that posted "well you need 3x8% NS layers to get light RIS" may be misleading.


If you are going to make RIS, why stop at 8% layers? I used 2x stun layers and a 23% NS layer for some of my RIS. turned out 80% kin 24% stun and 80% base unsliced. Also used a -73 mind shard and got it sliced to 90%. the final product of 24% stun 90% base (80% kin) was much much lighter than a comparable composite helmet and had higher condition (my RIS was like 150 mind HAm and 50k condition)


with interwoven it is pretty easy to get 80% kin and 0/0/0 HAM with boots/gloves/arm pieces, this is not easy with composite


it is also easy to get 80% kin and 60k condition with a base that slices to 90% (if you don't worry about acid and stun)


I have a few 8% base cubes and have seen over 10% base, I also have seen/used rancor hides that were 12% base as well as 10% base janta hides



RIS can be great, it is just a little more diffficult to play with than composite and high end stuff is generally needed to make.


There really isn't a way to prove one armor is "better"' than another. I posted a while back about my 44% base (including stun and lightsaber) tantal helmet with 0/0/80 HAm unsliced. Some people might think this is the better helmet if it slices to 50% or so stun.

you only have to craft the boots to get RIS certified, not an entire suit. the guy does steal them from you, but you only lose 1 gdk scale total.

I was just wondering what "the hard to get" components are for RIS. I know a few like the peko peko feathers and GDK scales, but exactly how many (same serial, etc..) do or would I need for a full suit? Any bit of info will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!
