I am not an expert in RIS by any stretch, but I can't imagine acid ever getting to 80%. It starts at 0%, and 3 acid layers could bring it up to 40% or so (jsut like stun in composite). Janta hides wont help, nor will yellow cubes. Teh only thing that will help from there is krayt scales - you can fine those with, say, 12% acid resists, bringing the total up to 52%. Meanwhile, the base will have suffered seriously, and, worse still, using a krayt scale will move all resists to Special from Base. Just as an example, you'll end up with armor looking like:

Special Protection:
Acid: 52%
Heat:73%
Cold: 68%
Kinetic: 74%
etc..

Base Resistance:
-(nothing)-

Someone had some exceptional krayt scales here the other day with 40% acid... Would be the only way to hit 80% on acid.

Krayt scales are Comp armor only. Your thinking of Krayt layers and they are not very good.

Krayt Scales are enhancers, go into any type of armor we can craft. Krayt "Segments" however do go into composite armor and generally are not that good.

lol, and you are a 12 point armor smith?

krayt scales can be used in any armor that accepts a segment enhancer.

there are no such thing asa krayt layer. so you are right. they are not very good

I have been gathering the components to have a set of RIS crafted and I was wondering if it was possible to craft a piece of RIS that is 80% special protection to both kinetic and acid damage and that is close to 80% base? If so what kind of Janta hides and yellow cubes would be needed? I would like to try and plug that acid hole. The stun hole could be taken care of by equiping a nice sliced imp PSG. Any thoughts?

Thank you,

Shammus

I just made a full set 26 acid/26 stun and 80 to kin and all others

1 acid layer, 2 stun layers, and a scale with 19 kin and 13 acid

think i used 6% yellow cubes

With interwoven its very easy to hit 80s to all with acid protection.
