You won't get one person beyond an hour of bashing durnis over the head to keep collecting coreillian wooly hide. Can't get missions for durnis and every sane Master Ranger laughs at you when you ask him to hunt Cor wool and never answers your tells again. Only way you are going to get anyone to hunt this is tell a wookiee to bring you the resources himself. Chilastra's Cor wool is the worse it has ever been atm. Had 2 really uber spawns a few months ago, so we are probally out of luck to see a new uber spawn ever again.
you are going to have to specialize in this stuff. Just don't have the storage and lots to try to be trying to make all the armor nowadays. And it will probally be disposable like the KCA chestplate, taking 80% of the damage.

Only the hunting chestplate requires horn. The other three pieces do not. That's why there's different versions of the resource list floating around. I'll make a note about this on the front page of this thread.
What kind of resources were used to make that BM armor? Unlayered, that's not half bad. And you can put TWO layers in there? That'll make it super easy to hit 80% kinetic, for example.

I am also a wookiee clan armorsmith and a Layer master. I have faith we will complete sets of this hard to assemble stuff to equip our squads of fine soldiers (a maybe start a new war with TDK, (/wink xaviere). I will report stats later. Wood are gated at 1700 (OQ 1000 SR700). With the reported stats I have faith my layers will compensate on special protection when we have to wait for good spawns in all ressources to higher the base. Please all wookiees of the wroshyr report your current avaible hides of some utility (OQ+SR). On the horn part I recommend Devs that only 2 horns be needed in 2 seperate boxes (single stacks issue) since there only are two in that head/chest piece. This armor will NOT be rare on starsider.

I dont know... after sleeping on this list of Resouces... Its still a massive slap in the face to wookiees and to the crafting community...
The rangers will never be able to keep up with that resouce list, so they wont worry about supplying allthat stuff...
Its just*edit* that they cant just add the armor padding witch IMO is uses enough organic resouces to make up for the copy and pasteing of the Resouce lists for Composite and Ubese onto the wookiee armors..
I highly doubt I will be able to make a viable suit of this stuff for months... and because it uses soft woods in most of the schematics that has a lower SR Gate cap (around 500) its never going to be able to get any where near armors that use Inorganics...
Why is it I can find Star Wars.Com souces that state the wookiees while living with nature where not primitives and before the time of the empire made some of the best microcomputers in the galaxy. Yet they cant even make armors that use metals according to the DEVs...
Its really just making me reroll my toon... I am a wookiee from day one and I have watched first hand the imbalace that SOE Created in this game... and now they say they are going to balance thing back out but they give out an armor thats a slap in the face to all the people who have played wookiees this long or future wookiees...

I hope they do take the suggestions serious... this is why its called a test for the armor... and the live crafters are telling them that its just an unreasonable amount of materials to work with...
Heck they only managed to get the black mountain made yesterday..
and this goes live next week....

Thats not true. There are only two problems with that list: the horn and the collerian wooly hide.
The horn I'm sure will either be changed or will begin to drop more so I'm not too worried about that.
The collerian wooly is another matter as its basically another tatooine avian (dwarf nuna) hunt which even the most insane ranger doesn't take these days. That resource they need to change or introduce a critter higher than a level 10 on colleria that drops it.
Apart from that its a pretty generic hunting list. That gives rangers and scouts something else to go after - always nice for a bit of variety

i can understand making the armor hard to make so theres not that much of it around..
but why do it for wookiees!!.. wth!!..
and why require this rare dantooine horns in such numbers!!.. it's insane!!..
i'm an armor smith, and i'm also a wookiee!!.. i doubt i'l be even making 1 set for even myself!!
this is nuts..
why bother with the graphics of this stupid armor if you arent going to allow people to craft the damn thing..
where the heck are we going to get these damned horns!@#!#@!@# ??
i duno, this game is zapping the life out of me.. i'm about to give up on it.. and being a wookiee, it makes it even worse..

The horn is an outrageous requirement. It's a freaking loot drop!Even if the drop rates were increased to that of the Cries Of Alderaan disks it's still absurd. You don't need to go lootheavy leathery hide to make composite orubese do you? No that'sbecause the only 2 armors in the game that require "Loot Drops" are mando and RIS. Wookiee armor, something that the wookiees have been waiting for since last november shouldn't be made with HORN which is only a loot drop. Not only will it be hard to aquire in large quantities, it also shifts at the same rate as all the other organics. By the time good dantooine horn shifts in, and is "looted" by someone in a large enough quantity to make 1 suit of armor it will be ready to shift again.
As for the corellian wooly hide, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD change that requirement to either dath, dantooine, Lokian, or endorian wooly at least these can be harvested in larger quantities and you can actually get missions for them.

JaatoWaals,
Please keep on top of the obvious problems with the resource list with the Devs. I know in their "play" testing environment they can spirit up any resources they want, so these issues may not have occurred to them.
I'd especially like to see an official change to the HUGE proportion of organics (many of them are gated or rare). Standard horn comments as mentioned by others also apply.
Thanks,
Jmac

i cant say im surprised tbh
ive been a wookiee on chimera for about 8 months now and nothing has ever gone in the wookiees favour, i just think this is a race issue imo
wookie are slaves who, if given proper equipment would be the best fighters in the known galaxy, and the devs know this they dont want to get 100,000 complaints that wookies are way too hard, and have an unfair advantage over all the other races. so they seem to be going for the idea that if we are going to give wookies good armour (not great, just good) make it practicly impossible to make so thye can say "well its out there all you have to do is make it", i will not be canceling my sub. hell no i love the game but im have accepted the fact that i and my chosen race are, and will always be the underdogs.
Busobow.

I have a quick question one of the segments calls for 16 units of Dant Avian Bones, I didn't think there were any avian creatures on Dant?
NM sounds like it's pretty common...
