Thread: A Question about Interwoven RIS Armor and NS Layers/Shards!
either 3x 7% and a yellow cube with 3% and janta hide 3% as an insurance OR 3x 8%, a yellow cube 3% and a shard!
The 8% combo is what i uses and hit 80% base on 3 of 5 pieces
my kineticare all low 50s plus i don't have that many kings hide and wollmander and also interwoven to waste so...and i used 2 red cubes on my 2 bracer -6/-6/-8 red cubes they are at 2/0/0 and 1/0/0 ham on bracer
i used the acklay ris schematic for a helmet...
3x 8% nightsister layers
1x 3% janta hide
1x4% yellow cube
my results were 64% kinetic 80% base (no you can't get above 80% base, otherwise i woulda had higher kinetic lol) 179 mind cost
i got lucky and got a 45% (perfect) encumberance slice. final results? 19/8/99 encumberance.
i made a helm for a friend using:
2x 11% nightsister layers
1x 7% nightsister layer
1x 4% janta hide
1x 4% yellow cube
dont know his slicing results... however the protections were 74% kinetic/80% base, and this was with a "failure". not moderate or critical, just failure. easily coulda had 80%/80% had it not been for that during the experimenting.
i now have 5% janta hides for myself... so i expect the next piece i make to be 80/80.
Ok so would you think i am wasting stuff if I use the following:
2 x 12% NS layers
1 X 7% NS layer
1 x 6% janta hide
1 x 4% or 5% yellow cube (not sure on this)
Maybe I should rather use a NS shard instead of the janta hides to get down encumberance?

that's almost exactly what i used for a friend's helm. in his i used 2x 11% NS layers, 1x 7% ns layer, 4% janta hide and 4% yellow cube. results were 74% kinetic 80% base (i would have hit higher kinetic, but i had a "failure" with one exp point - not a moderate or critical, thank God). i think you may want to substitute out the 6% janta hide and use the NS shard. or if you want to be sure to hit 80% on both kinetic and base, use your recipe. however, it's gonna vary depending on your resources. about 1/2 my RIS resources are very nice, while the other 1/2 are just average (500= oq+sr/2)
dang buy the 24% layers! what i'd do is make segments with them. i'd use one 24% in each segment then 2 stun layers in each segment and a nightsister shard. (max out resistance during experimenting then put the rest into durability)
no you cannot craft above 80%
