Thread: What stats should focus on for kinetic layers ?

I just mastered the other and so i am still learning.


I usually max out the special resistance then the base effectivness bar to around 2% base and 10% kinetic resisitance. To get 80% kinetic it seems i have to use 3 layers which ends up with really heavy encumberance.


I use high oq copper atm to make them layers(M855, OQ905.SR635).

I do have some good iron which has the same OQ and better SR but only half the malleabilty.

The current kiriium steel isn`t great 232OQ and 45 M. The colat iron is around 300 OQ and 700 SR.


From other threads I take it is best to put all exp point into base effectivness for the final adv comp layer.


I`m also only a 10pt smith Just looking for ways to make good low HAM armor.

I used to do the same exact thing as you when I was new. You are putting to much experimentation into the 3rd of your layers. Put it all in the second, & then the rest in the first row if you get an amazing success.



My layers are 4% Base 4% Kinetic & I hit 80% kinetic 71% base.

Depends a lot on your resources.

If you dont have great resources and are wanting 80% comp to hell with the HAM, try one Max kinetic like 2 base, 14 kinetic, and 2 other layers 3 base, 4 kinetic. that should feth you a segment with 26 base, 24 kinteic.

If you do have great resources by all means try for 4 base, 4 kintic.

If its lower HAM you're after and high base try Electrical layers.

My advice... and this is what I did when I became a new smith. Play around with experimenting making gloves using all kinds of different layers and segments. you can record your results with /notes These would not be for selling, but for determining what numbers you might want to hit on your layers and segments to make pieces that you are after.

Good Luck, it's a steep learning curve. One that I am only half way up.

I can`t seem to pull it off.


I tried with 4/4 kinetic layers and was only getting 60% kinetic and 48& base.

Are you sure you are using three layers? Advanced segments? Do you max out quality (2nd row) for both segments and final armor? Or do you have real crappy resources? If you want more detailed help, give us more detailed info.

Advenced Segments.


Kirium Steel stats are in my first post only an OQ of 230,SR 568.
Colat Iron are 413 OQ and SR of 730.
Polymer stats are all in 800.


For the kinetic I use all high OQ mineral 800 + on most of them.
Amphorous Gemstone is OQ of 930, mineral I have either Iron(900 OQ) or steel(879 OQ).


Using either I usually only get around 60 - 70% kinetic armor and very rares get over 51% base.

Ah that's the problem. You need to get better Kiirium and better Colat in order to make better armor. IT will take a while to get the resources but don't get frustrated. IT's really hard for a new smith to compete with the older guys but I've noticed that no matter what kind of uber resoures are out there, eventually a better one will show up.

I just did some surveying today and Colat spawned with an OQ of 960.
I don`t planning in giving up AS for while as it a professions I really enjoy doing.

All I need is for some nice Kirium Steel to spawn and I should be set :-)

Actually, with the resources you mention, I think you should be able to make 28% base / 14% kinetic segments. With good resources for the final step this could give you armor with approximately 79% kinetic and 65% base resist. So thats where the real problem lies in my opinion: the stats of your resources for making the armor (i.e., wooly hide, aluminum, nabooian fiberplast etc.) are not good enough.
