Armorsmith Archive

Now, first off I want to say that I am only applying this to epic armor.

I believe that, in the cases of Epic Armor, that there should be a way to prevent the condition loss we see with conventional armor repair kits. Even if the Devs say they fixed them, I do not trust the devs to know for sure.

That said, to prevent us from going through are epic armor like crazy, I propose this:

2 NPCs One for Mando, one for RIS (maybe the AS here), that, regardless of the condition of your armor (Even if it is 0/XXXXX), they will fix it to be only about 10-20 points off the max condition, for about 100k per piece. This way, the armor is still expensive to maintain (as it should be), but it lasts for a LONG time, which it should, given that it takes a LONG time to get what you need to have it made!

Obviously, this would be for epic armors only.

Thoughts?

I dont mean to step into the armorsmith's forums with my opinions, but I agree that with the armor that takes many many months to acquire condition loss should be at a minium. However, I do NOT want armorsmiths to lose any business from this since the only way people come back for more armor is from their own wearing down. I think this could be the exception due to how rare and how long it takes to get any one of the two "Epic" armor sets. Just the two cents from a commando.

Well, I expect the devs to do the actual number crunching, but based on armor decay as it is right now, they should figure out a way to get a year's worth of use or more on RIS armor.

And this would not be taking business away from AS's - no more so than usual, anyway. People are already looking for RIS, and they need other armor to do it in. Most wear RIS as only for Show. And further, 99.999% of Armorsmiths do NOT repair armor, as they do not want to be blamed if the wearer is under the mistaken impression that being an AS gives you a repair bonus.

There will still be the majority of the server needing regular armor on a consistent basis. Even if the whole server went looking for RIS, suddenly the competition for components just got a ton harder, and parts would be even more hard to come by, because fewer people would be selling them. Thus, people would need regular armor for even longer, and those that get the actual RIS would be few.

So, it really makes a minimal impact on the AS's business.

good idea.. but not at 0... at 1 or more, and it should lose about 100-500 condition.. so it still takes a hit, but isn't destoryed by a bad repair
