I think the theoretical max is 15, but that would require perfect resources. Using very good resources I get 14 Kinetic/2 Base (Which is what most folks get since the resources are common enough to find good spawns)

The max for kinetic protection is indeed 15% with kinetic layers. Alas that is with 100% experimentation (ie: perfect resources). Some few of us were able to make 15% layers during the single day of funky crafting rules, but if you missed that boat you're stuck with 14.xx layers.

Don't lose heart tho cause there is a hiden decimal. So your 99% experimented layer may not be 15%, but it is 14.86%, so pretty darn close all the same.

formula for figuring out kineticresists on a kinetic layer: 1+14x(experimented percentage)

Well guess that means i should look for way better resources. I'm stuck on 12% /shrug oh well

12% isnt bad. What are you making with it?

Keep in mind that maxing the kinetic resist is only really a good option for Ubese (Maybe Tantel or Padded, but I don't really work with them)

If you're making compo,see ifyou can get 4% base and 5% Kinetic, then put the rest of your points in HAM. That should allow you to continue experimenting the base to the max with each step, putting the rest of the points in HAM. Doing this I got 80 kinetic 63 base my first try, using some awful wooly hide.

hey thanks for that advice. been tring to figure out how to hit 60% base, stuck on like 58% or somthing with composit. i'll give that a try later
