NS shards give the best at +15 health per segment.... to a max of +45 health per piece of advanced recon.

you need a ton of them though... 3 sets of 10 identicals just for one chestplate of tantel/scoutfaction..... forget about enhancing ubese or mabari.... at least until ppl figure out ways to farm ns postcu and start getting us +20 stack sizes.

I'm sure my brain has just shut off and can't function properly atm but wouldn't you need a total of 12 segments to make 3 identical cores? Which would mean you need to make 13 segments to make those identical cores? And if that is right wouldn't you need only 13 identical enhancers to make that cp, not 3 sets of 10? Just curious why my brain isn't processing things

I think you're right, 1 set of 13. Or 3 sets of 5 would also work. But maybe I missed something too.

well lets see:

you need 1 enhancer per segment,

and 3 segments per core....

and 3 cores per chestplate...

so make a schematic for a segment..... you will need 3 crates of 10 segmentsto make 3 cores as 1 per set is used in the initial segment.

So technically you actually need 11 scales/whatever per segment crate:

11-1-1=9

11x3=33

33 enhancers for a 3 core chestplate.... at 3-5k per enhancer (premium on large stacks too!!) thats like 165k added to chestplate cost for +45 health....

good thing is you only need 3 sets of 4 for helm/pant and you can make bracers/biceps all day long with odds and ends.

so bottom line: bracers/biceps are the best thing to sink loot in unless youre making RIS/mando... and possibly faction

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I don't think you'd need 33 enhancers for a single chest piece. I believe you could do it with three stacks of 5 enhancers. You use each stack of five to make three seperate stacks of segments, each containing 4 identical segments. You then burn one segment off each stack to make your core schematic, and then run the schem to get 3 identical cores.

1 chest uses 3 cores which each uses 3 segments. If you make three seperate runs of segments you need to use one segment of each for the core schematic. So five shards -> 4 segments -> 3 cores.5x3 shards needed for a chestplate. Of course the higher the run the less the waste.

I was curious about this also..

I have 7 Yellow NS layers I got from a Stalker way back when. They still sit at +0 Health effectiveness. Should I still be hanging onto these? Will they be use for Battle or recon armor? In a perfect world I would love them fixed and able to slide into a suit of rebel battle armor I just wonder if a fix is on the way?

I believe what you're doing here is taking your 9 segs, and multiplying by 3, as opposed to adding the three segs needed for the core schem, if you take the 3-separate-seg-schems route.

Alright...you confused me with this one. Your first sentence sounds like 3 cores = 9 segments, while in your math in the third it sounds like 4 segments (3 + the schematic) makes 3 cores? I'm confused

They're both correct. 3 cores = 9 segments, but to make the cores you need to burn one making the schematic, so really to get 3 cores final product you must have 12 segments, 3 of which gets lost in translation.
