So would a +5 armor experimentation and+2 armor experimentationbe worth10 million credits? Wouldn't this be completely useless unless you have another +3 armor experimentation?


Do you also cap out at +12pts for experimentation?

Not useless. Most smiths want to become a 12 pointer, and the only way to do that is buy acquiring the +20 in however many smaller tapes they can. Tapes, on bria anways, go for 1-1.5mill per point for +1's and +2's, 2-3 and higher for +3 and bigger.



And yes, +12 is as good as it gets.

With all the +12 armorsmiths out there, why would an novice smithy pursue becoming a +12 experim. and assem. armorsmith when its been done?


First they have an almost impossible time breaking in the market...


2nd they have to spend all their hard earned credits on armor attachments just to be in the same caliber as veteran smiths, funny that these attachments are looted by Master Combat types, where is the love for the armorsmiths, I believe anyone starting armorsmithing just get shafted either way...

Anyone can make it in this profession if they dedicate themselves. It took me almost 8 months to get my 12 pts, all the time I was still making credits off the armor I sold.

There is room for everyone in AS, you just have to like the profession.

2-3 mil per point on Kauri. Took me a while to get mine, but a rather rich guildie helped me, 12-Point makes all the difference.

It is worth getting the +12...


as a younger smith without the uber resources, the +12 will help you get even better results with your average resources.


as a mature smith with uber resources, the +12 will help you get lower HAMs on your armors.



As far as breaking into the market, you are right .. you can not break into a market that you are not qualified to be in. Hence, you will NEVER match the abilities and skills of a mature 12 point armorsmith.


Therefore, do something DIFFERENT. Target a segment of the population that does not have 500K to blow on uber-armor. Outfit the regular people who are not millionaires. Find a niche (padded on Starsider, Wookie Hunting on Ahazi, Ubese on Intrepid) and work the niche.


I am the "walmart" of the armor world on Ahazi. I make a great living suppling the little guys who can not purchase the armor of master uber smiths like Avaka and Donjo (and others). My niche is Wookie Hunting armor for poor Wookies. I do not make Bone, Tantel or Padded at all (no profit, too hard to maintain resources). I sell mabari dirt cheap to new players.


It pays off to have a niche and to stick to it.
