Armorsmith Archive

eh.......Adescription or picture would definitely help here.

2 things come to mind:

1) stuff like ubese shirt bandoleer, etc. - these have no armor value, and are very easy to make

2) loot made composite, etc. with 0/0/0 for ham costs - these are incredibly hard to make, and not likely to be seen on anything higher then boots. RIS gets nice stats usually because people will use their very best stuff to make it, and even then, you'd be hard-pressed to make this at all. dont expect to ever see or make this kind of armor. with excellent shards and RIS layers, you could get some decent gloves at 0/0/0, but nothing close to a whole suit...

hope that helps ya

Is this type of armor hard to make as a Master armorsmith???

You guys know what im talking about right the type of armor that has no emcumbrance

0 health

0 action

0 mind

Do any of you masters do this or can u do this???

I guess the only set that is possible to make like this would be bone armor. I just cant think of anything else that can come close to no enc.

You could make some RIS pieces with 0 enc if you did it right.

Ive never seen even close to 0/0/0 RIS tho, there is always at least one number that is at least 50.

there are some "weightless" bone armor pieces floating around valcyn somewhere, other pieces are like 0/0/15 or something like that

but to answer your question in original post....NO master armorsmiths can not make segs or pieces like this very easily.

I've had RIS boots that were 33/0/0 and I didn't put any points into ham reduction on the piece or the segment.

sounds like a nice NS shard to me. for the origninal poster, this is very hard to make/rare. so it's not likely you'll be able to make a set like that. RIS is nice because you can use the layers that are light, as well as NS shard for very nice enc

Made some comp boots that were 29-9-18, 80/74% resists. Best comp helm was 80/78% resists, 21-0-149 ham. Krayt bracer/biceps set that was 21-18-21, 78% resists. All these and those RIS boots are unsliced too btw.

Interesting topic
What about the other armors? How would Ubese, Chitin or Mabari come out when fully experimented on HAM?

I made a suit of advanced Mabari out of all of the one or two piece NS shard drops I collected. Most of the pieces have two of the three stats at 0 encumbrance, and I think the total HAM for the suit is well below 100 on each stat. Not bad for 25% kinetic resists.

i just made myself a suit of padded armor, experimetning all on encum...but i was using crappy resources
encum is 280/340/160, so its kinda high, but i can wear it all unbuffed, since i migrated most of my stats to secondarys
