I am creating this thread in the spirit of helping Armorsmiths everywhere be armed with as much knowledge as possible when crafting R.I.S. The idea is that this will better help us not to waste precious components trying things, but rather help us to inch ever closer to a successful formula on our servers for making R.I.S.
I ask everyone to at least put down their server, because what works on one server might not work on another, due to different resources. Also, if you wish, it would be helpful to put what materials you used in your work.
Radiant
Armor Version Made: Interwoven R.I.S.
Materials used:
Quadtrikeusyhiite Titanium Aluminum (955 OQ, 348 SR, 307 UT)
Leewaiam Chromium Aluminum (876 OQ, 590 SR, 556 UT)
Osiobi Solid Petrochem Fuel (909 OQ)
Liriak Chanlon Intrusive Ore (860 OQ, 614 SR, 456 UT)
Eoboke Vendusii Amorphous Gem (684 OQ, 893 SR, 909 UT)
Ydi Yavinian Animal Bone (934 OQ, 945 SR, 908 UT)
Cofa Talusian Fiberplast (941 OQ, 563 SR, 512 UT)
Akege Rori Wooly Hide (976 OQ, 658 SR, 25 UT)
Abu Platinite Copper (920 OQ, 703 SR, 699 UT)
Findings thus far:
So far, I believe I have found the limit for making 80% base armor in the segment combine. I have been using a combination of 7-8% NS layers (filling up one slot), 3-4% Janta hides, 14/2 Kinetic layers (2), and 4 % yellow cubes. Due to some successes and failures, I believe the theoretical limit on where your base needs to be to guarentee* a successful 80% base attempt is 40% base upon final segment combine (post experimentation). I say this because I had a 39% base segment, with base experimented to the max both in the segment, and the final combination of the armor, and I was only able to hit 79% - 1 point shy.
Now, when I come across my next GDK scale, I will be able to give a further test, as I have a segment that is 40% base, and 43% kinetic. I believe I can reach 80% base with this segment, but the question is can I reach 80% Kinetic as well? That will be my next entry, once I am able to get a GDK scale, and test this segment out - it might then help me to hypothosize the exact numbers needed on a segment on Radiant to guarantee 80% across the board, both in base and kinetic.
* - Note: when I say guarentee, I mean that the Armorsmith would not have to rely onamazing successes. Given that those are unpredictable, they are really only appropriate when discussing the theoretical limits of RIS armor, not the theoretical minimums for making 80%/80% RIS. Therefore, I have left amazing successes out of my equation, to allow for the normalization of the research.
