Armorsmith Archive

Although I follow the forums it takes quite something for me to post.. hence the 1 post here's nightmare

So I've spent countless time, effort money and a lot of luck where the GDK scales were concerned (I looted 6)I'm not a wealthy, guilded Armorsmith so I cant just go buy these things...

I completed the RIS Quest Friday the fact that I didn't get my boots back from the hermit was outweighed by the elite schematics now sitting in my data pad. It takes me 2 days to summon the courage to click in my ultra rare resources.. wooo I make a helmet! great what a relief. I'd read various stories on the forum of peoples crafting nightmares with RIS but I'd made a Helmet with no problems, now all I have to do is make my friends 5 pieces Helmet, Chest Leggins 2x bracers.. this I was worried about. I used polly cake and port, 33% crafting station, 14.28 tool some great resource and 1 average resource. All went fine which considering he paid about 20mil for his components this was a great relief, there were 2 critical failures on experimentation on bracers but it didn't damage the armor that badly.

So now I'm confident I can make my Chest plate, Leggings and Boots to go with my helmet. So I head home drop my crafting station cake, port same procedure and start crafting. I'd already made a bunch of RIS layers in a factory so I could have less chance of loosing peko feathers while keeping resists constant. So here goes the segment... click in my woollymander bone my gurk hide click assemble... CRITICAL ASSEMBLY!! what the hell... poof! bone, hide, vanish into oblivion... <Insert sickening thud of head on desk>

Ok.. that was really really bad luck... but hey come on I can match some Padded boots with the rest right?...

Second attempt... I make a segment great! on to the Chest plate..

Click the segment in now for the GDK scale.. click assemble.. guess what.. yup CRITICAL ASSEMBLY!!! like what the hell I'm a Master Armorsmith for the love of god! not a novice! I haven't had critical assembly's since hitting master.. now my segment and GDK scale are gone.. Ok so now my mouse has a big "throw me" sign hovering above it and my head hurts more than the first critical.. ticket! ticket! ticket! ringing in my ears... then it came to me..

If I were a Jedi I would have my precious rare loot back on a critical assembly, or at least that's what I've been told/read. I cant really be bothered to troll through the forum to confirm this. This isn't a gripe at Jedi if that's the case I agree they shouldn't loose it, but isn't one profession as deserving as another? It seems most of them "low level Jedi" were loosing pearls crystals etc creating their sabre's that's a bad bad bad thing, but they aren't a Master of their trade I am. I shouldn't loose ultra rare loot pieces like that on assembly, yes critical on experimentation I can live with but not assembly, its just so sickening. The good news is I still have 3 GDK scales the bad news I cant buy the woolymander bones their far too expensive I have to take my Smuggler's butt and wait for god knows how many days in the woolly temple hoping to god that a Master Swordsman doesn't run in and swish swish! dead Harrower.

My point is if my info is correct, why do I loose GDK, Bone, Hide on assembly? These things are soooo rare. I'm not 100% certain on the Jedi thing if I'm wrong then I stand corrected perhaps one of our Jedi friends can confirm this. Anyway I can appreciate that they are making a weapon and that its probably not the best thing to have every Jedi with a 1500dmg sabre, but even so the crafted item would be relative to the skill of the crafter like the few points of experimentation/assembly you get at novice AS. Bear in mind that obviously RIS can only be crafted at Master note that infact, and the collection of some of the rarest loot in game, for most it just cant be bought.

Basically I'd like to see this critical assembly in such a rare item stopped if you have the components to make it they shouldn't disappear just let it spit the rare bit back out so you can try again. I don't know what you guys think I know I feel sick at loosing my stuff, maybe the new correspondent could ask the dev's the question (shame Jaato is leaving great guide) and I don't want to hear "its by game design" if that's the case.. design is wrong needs fixing in such a rare item.

Sorry I don't post you guys do a great job in here

Ok I went looking for a crafting station last night I found a +42 it was 150k! Thought that was a litter expensive?

Still think it should spit the loot back on Critical Assembly though..

Thanks again
