Thread: Advanced Chitin question...

I was wondering if any of you have messed around with this stuff. If I get ahold of better Doonium, I think it's possible to break the 60% kinetic barrier on this stuff and maybe even get around 70%. If that is possible, I think this armor can be very profitable to people who want good hunting armor and don't want to pay a ton for a set. Any thoughts, suggestions?

highest i've seen is 62%...... with the much lower HAM costs, i still prefer it over Ubese

I wonder if any Armorsmiths here are selling high Sr/OQ Doonium or high SR/OQ Dantooine Animal Bones

My best was 61/28 but that was before i got my new dooium which i have yet to try.I could not use all my points in special cuase of resorce limitations. My guess is it could hit70 which would make sence minus a layer.


I have tested chiten and ubese extensivly. Chiten wears far better and seams to protect just as well as a higher % ubese. Is there hidden modifyers in the armor?? im not sure but it sure seams it. With bounty hunter pistol 4 and near master pistoler, i took down a sqaud of storm troopers, those 8-9k ham ones in groups of 10 that patrol where ever,, i was wearing chiten and unbuffed. I did heal and i think i sucked down a moun. Still 10v1 unbuffed to me that means that armor works.


I have been making suits of chiten,, 40% ken, 30% base with the extra points in durra. Btw I really hope they make the exp on durra work a bit better. I have been using 800+ on the stats that effect it and i can double resist %, but am lucky to add 1/3 to the durra. even spending 10 points on it i dont even get a 50% gain, aka going from 18% to 25% on chiten,, or 37% to 43% on comp.. but % goes from 30% -60 on chit or 35% base to 60% base on comp... there is no insentive to make long lasting armor. or spend your points in other ways.


what would i like to see in chiten??


1 layers, to me every armor should beable to take atleast one.


2, i would love to see the stats on the armor be changeable. By that i mean, I would love to beable to add a protect its vulnerable to and remove one it is effective against Maybe not all could be removed, say heat would always have to be in mabari but say kenetic could be removed and energy added for example. Pretend that a differnt metal or weave was used to change the protection. Armors could also have inherint flaws. Aka comp you could not remove stun vuln in trade of cold. This could make armors like chiten swap acid for heat.. of maybe swap ken for heat on padded. Think of a race car driver suit, protects tons vs heat and burns, but has zero kentic. Could give pvp people some thinking to do,, not ohh thats chiten ill just use my fwg5 and hes toast.


3, more enhancements. there needs to be more different types of drops to enhance your amor. more than just krayt, or janta..or voritor. yea i know there are lots of loot drops but it just seams armorers get the shaft when it comes to varairty.


4, This isnt a comment just a question... How many times have you gotton this tell... "can you make composite???"" when you can say +1000 and everything else you can count on one hand,,, something is wrong,. ohh wait, people do ask for ubese every now and again. Btw im making atm my first order for chiten since november.. Ive been an armorer since july.

I've gotten 63 or 64% kinetic on Chitin. Just like everything else....resources. Sometimes it's hard to stay aware of the stuff you don't use often, but I've done a pretty good job keeping my eyes open for Dant animal bones, Doonium iron and scaley hide.


Also made a set using some nice kliknik shells. The total HAM is around 150-170 per section.

I've actually come across good Dant animal bones and good scalely...I still have a couple thousand units of each. I guess we all need to keep our eyes peeled for good Doonium And yeah, I get SOOOO tired of people asking for Comp! I know it sells well and people want it...but it just gets boring making the same stuff over and over again. Hell, I might mess around with Adv. Mabari and Padded
