Thread: Questions about Ithy Armor

So now, that Ithorian armor is said to be fixed, which suit is supposed to be on par w/ composite? I have good PVE armor but am looking for some PVP armor now that the fix has gone live. I thought Defender was the composite equivalent but now that I see that sentinel is crafted at master and am hearing sentinel is the composite equivalent.


So questions are:


  • Which type of Ithorian Armor is the new Composite (PVP)?

  • What stats should I see on this type of armor? (Stun and Baseas found in Composite)?

  • Also, are the resources to make this armor harder to come by and not the same as Composite (I can gauge the price w/ this answer, have to acquire new resources, cost usually go up..etc..).

  • And can I use Krayt Scales/Nightsister Layers/Shards in enhancing this armor?

These answers will help me inform fellow armorsmiths of the new change, many are unaware that it has been fixed, and as you can guess, me asking here, no suits (that I know of)of PVP quality are for sale on Corbanits. Thanks for the replies in advance!

    Ithorian Sentinel

    The exact same as you would see on Composite. The resources are exactly the same, and I'm 99% sure they're in exactly the same proportions. It's just Composite with a different graphical skin.


  • Also, are the resources to make this armor harder to come by and not the same as Composite (I can gauge the price w/ this answer, have to acquire new resources, cost usually go up..etc..).

    Exactly the same as the analogs (Sentinel-Composite, Defender-Padded, Guardian-Chitin). The only reason you might see higher price is the rarity.


  • And can I use Krayt Scales/Nightsister Layers/Shards in enhancing this armor?

    Yep.

My guess is that due to the general rarity of Ithorians, you won't see too many smiths stocking the stuff. It will probably be a largely custom-order market, but without too much of a mark-up. At least, that's the way I will be doing it.

Thank you for the reply, so it shouldn't be a problem in actually making this, just finding huh?

It should be easy to make, because it even takes the same subcomponents. The problem, as you say, is stocking it because of the limited market.

One difference though between composite and sentinel armor (at least it was this way the few days after the patch when sentinel armor wasn't bugged)... sentinel armor doesn't have the Set Color selection on radial menu, so if you're going to have some custom made you need to specify the color up front.

Ah its Ox! i've bought several of those suits off of you a while back, checked your vendor today and didn't see any for sale, mind if I contact you?


Np, i'll specify color and the rest when/if we talk.
