is it possible to Convert any armor into RIS after the CU?

And how hard/easy is RIS to make after the CU?

Do you recommend Buying a Set now or after CU?

1) I seriously doubt you can convert any other armor to RIS, but I haven't seen anyone say you can't.

2) Might be a bit easier. You will still need the loot drops, including the GDK scales. But right now, REALLY good RIS (all 80 for example) depends heavily on having great loot like geo cubes, nightsister layers, and janta hide. I don't think that stuff will matter as much after the CU.

3) Buying now or later is a tough question. The conversion of existing armor is not making us happy. The best armor pre-CU does NOT seem to be converting to the best post-CU armor. That said, there will probably be a smaller supply of the needed loot drops (especially the GDK scales) after the CU as you will need a large group to take down those GDKs. So RIS may be even rarer after the CU as our current supplies of loot dry up. I'd say it's a crap shoot.

Personally, I'm squeezing out the last bit of interwoven RIS I can since that's going extinct. I'm hoping the devs will improve it's converstion compare to regular RIS. Plus I just want the satisfaction that the crafting process now gives me as I try to hit all 80s. RIS crafting will be a totally different experience after the CU.

would it be worth pre-paying for RIS or buying components now, and getting it made to the best standard after CU...

Anyone know if RIS will still only take 1 GDK scale per piece? I thought I read that the the GDK scale went into the segment now. With 3 segments per core, that could add up to 21 GDK scales for a full suit (not counting gloves/boots).

It that's true then I'd better burn my last few scales. Who knows if they'll ever convert to a stack.

TCCorbantis went up today, so I had a chance to check out the new RIS crafting requirements.

Each piece of RIS armor (except maybe Boots/Gloves) requires 1 RIS segment, in addition to 1-3 battle cores. My client crashed before I had a chance to make a piece, but I plan to do that as soon as I can get some Naboo Bristley hide.

The requirements for a RIS Segment are:

75 Titanium Alum

75 Chanlon Ore

50 Rori Fiberplast

1 Harrower Bone

1 Gurk King Hide

1 GDK Scale

A RIS Chestpiece requires:

50 Talusion Fiberplast

50 Chromium Alum

3 Identical Battle Cores

1 Synth Clothe

1 RIS Armor Segment

Appearance Enhancers

My suit of non-Interwoven RIS armor converted:

Pre-CU: 80% Kinetic/74% Base (non-sliced)

Post-CU: 4678 across the board, -30.6% hinderances

After I make a piece of RIS I'll post the results here.

Very nice. Thanks!!!

Do you have any interwoven schems? Will those schemsmake aRIS segment? Will that segment go into the final?

I have a friend with an interwoven RIS schem, I'll ask him to look at it if he logs onto TC Corbantis.
