Thread: question about mando armour

hey guys, I read the FAQ at the top, and I now know the ingredients required..my question is about the armour cores I'd need as well...

I've read (dont remember where) that you need to take crafted armour cores into the bunker to craft the armour parts..my question is (and yes it may be a noob question!) what kind of core can be used? I realise that for example krayt drop health bonus core's, and these can be put into armour..I guess my question is do they go into crafting cores, or are they a "core" in themselves which can be used in the final build or armour. I know I cant use looted cores for the mando armour, but if the looted cores are used to make a final assemble core then can they be used?

thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

You can use any assault core you like, just have them made up before you go to the DWB. You can use looted cores although crafted ones are usually superior. Krayt scales are health enhancers that must be built into a core.

Cores define the armor. Mando will not have better protection stats than any armor made with the same cores. It will have much higher condition, however.

In my opinion, making mando with anything but capped health-enhanced and quad-layered coreswould be the equivalent of putting the Mona Lisa on exhibit in a plastic frame from Toys'r'us.

If someone came to me and claimed that he had the stuff and the group to make a full suit of mandalorian armor, I would probablygivethe cores to him for free, just for the personal pride of being a (small) part of that achievement. In any case, you could find someone to make some cores for you for 1-5 million credits; a pittance compared to the total cost of mando armor.


Oh, btw, if you do complete the suit and don't adk it, I am personally going to make a toon on your server and repeatedly whack you with a wet noodle until I get banned for harassment



I support the NGE - NOT!

Please correct me if I'm wrong.


Don't you now get the schematic after you drop the 4 loot components (armor, alum, BL, PLC)on to the droid, finish crafting and get kicked out?

I was always under the impression that you could use the schematic at a later time to craft your armor, and it didn't need to be inside the DWB.

mmm...so what if during the week after the cu (when you could change the armour) the armour was converted into schematic form?

It was pre-cu, looted from black sun, BH armour. But now its BH armour schematics..does this mean that it can be crafted into mando at any time? or do we still have to go into the bunker and re-set the schematic...I assume that is the case and it will change to mando armour schematic?

Side question:

Mandalorian armor schematics have one charge (like BH crafted armor)?

1 use schematic

and pre made CU mando has an option in radical menu where you can change it to a schematic..... so no need to go to the bunker....
