That is pretty good. I have made 80% kin / 51% on Shadowfire. It takes quality hides from both Lok and Yavin so its not a given to reach these stats

I'm looking to see what smiths on other servers have made, how well it sells, etcetera. Any feedback?

I make this stuff and it is not worth the amount of good hide that goes into it. It is more expensive than composite to make and people don't want to pay near as much.
It does sell fairly well though. People like having custom coloured padded they can use.
I also experimented with some padded where I use on maxed out kinetic layer and one base-maxed stun layer. Throw in some nice Kin/Energy krayt scales to plug the acid and heat holes and you have some PvP enabled Padded armour. Still isn't near what a basic set of composite is but damn you look good.

I sell 79% Kinetic 50% base for 180k a set. It sells but not fast. Custom orders go for 250k.

I have the sane 80/52 (although can now hit 53-54 base with some hides a got from the vet rewards)
I charge 379k without helm, 469 with helm- and they sell like hot cakes
Yea it is expenive but some of the resources i got with vet rewards.
Only thing bothersome about padded is hand making most of the sets to get the color diversity

Nice. 80% Kinetic Padded is cool. An armor that both looks good and is fully servicable.
I myself can't make that good yet... still lacking some resources. I only sell padded on custom order.
