Thread: Best Possible Armor for a Master Carbineer

Hello all you ArmoUrSmiths!


I am a Master Carbineer, Master Chef on Chillastra. Out of skill points and want to make myself as effective a killing machine as possible.


I will be wearing Padded, and hope to get Rebel Battle as well. I will be doing a little PVP30% of the time, and a lot of PVE 70%+. I was thinking of Padded for my PVE suit, and the rebel suit for PVP, but that could be subject to change depending on what you all tell me.


Once I get these suits I will be sticking a whole bunch of Skill tapes into them. These tapes cost me quite a bundle, so I hope to stick them in the best possible suits I can get.


Money is not really an issue for me on this, unless its like 20 mill or something, I'm not looking for RIS here


My question is this: What is possible with those 2 types of armours? Best possible, using layers and stuff, I've read the stickies up there and they give a lot of great info, but i'm wondering what is possible to someone who is willing and able to pay for it. If they will end up about the same, then I will probably just make one Uber suit and use the other just for show, and looks.


Looking forward to your response, if you need any more info let me know and I will post it.


thanks,

Battle armor gets 'even protections' no plus no minus. So if you get Quad Primus armor you should get 6500/6500/5500 or something like that im not inline so I cant check what I have.

Since you will be only buying 1 set I would make damn sure you are getting the best possible stuff on your server. Primus layers can can range from 30 to 40 so that makes a huge difference. Your on my server so if you want give me a shout ingame and I can work with you personally to ensure you get the armor you want.

PST Moge or Nanasawa ingame. Im on and off a lot and should be on in about 2 hours but will be on tomorrow as well. If you already have an AS in mind you can pass the stats of that armor along and I can offer a second opinion.

Thanks a bunch for the answer. So from what you are saying there is no difference between Top end Padded and Top end Rebel Battle right?


If thats the case I will make a set of Padded as my Top end stuff, and just get my Rebel suit for RP and fun. I will have to get some Faction points, but then again I LIKE shooting Stormies so that will be Fun


I expect I will end up working with Senno, who is in my guild, and a 12 pointer FS AS. But I would love to hear what you have available to compare, and also let me know what it would cost for that TOP End Suit. If he cannot match yours, I will buy yours, but even if I don't I want to know what I should be paying him for the suit.


Is Smuggler Slicing working properly now, or still borked? I expect to have to make a couple of each piece to get a good slice. Please send me a ingame email with what you think you could make, and a price, and we can go from there. For your trouble either way I have a 10 crate of Bespin Port, 24% exp, , 21 fill 18 uses for you. Let me know where you want it delivered.


Thanks again,

you should get RIS... its battle armor, it looks badass, and it can get 100k cond.... good place for tapes. Whats another 10-20m eh?


On a side note, I would suggest also having your suit krayt scaled and if they ever fix feathered appearance enhancers, have it peko'd as well.... easy +400 health which might make the difference for a crafter/fighter hybrid.

Great Idea! I was thinking that perhaps a couple of the pieces would be RIS, at least the Helm, since the Padded Helm looks lame.


Only issue with RIS is that I will be wearing ORANGE padded. Its kinda my look. All Orange Crazy Chef with a Carbine. Does RIS come in Orange?

Hmm,


I looked at the RIS Helms and Chest pieces, don't they will work for what I'm looking at. Is there ANY cool Helm in SWG? they all seem lame to me, might just stick with my Chef hat!


RIS Layers on the other hand sound like a GREAT idea, I know they will cost me, but if its something that is going to be used for a long time, then it will be worth it. Krayt Scales are a thought too, this is great help!


Thanks,

No, there aren't.... whatever the SOE Helmet Designers were smoking when they created these things, I hope they saved me some! My alt currently has a red marauder helmet on (aka Lobster Tail), and as bad as it looks, it does come in handy when the NPC's are unable to retaliate because they're too busy laughing at the way you look.

/bump


So I think I've got most of it figured out.


Padded Armour, 6500/6500/5500or so would be about the top. Quad Primus.


I should be able to get 350 or so health Bonus, with the layers. Probably NS and Peko Layers.


The helm is still up in the air, the padded helm sucks. I might try to see about the rebel Clone armor you get from the New quest. The helm looks pretty good. anyong else got any ideas for a good looking Battle Helm?


Does what I've described above sound like the TOP possible Battle Armor? Obviously the results will varry from Server to Server, I am just trying to make sure that I am adding all the possible options to this suit. Have I missed anything?


any and all help you guys can give is much appreciated!

actually no. NS layers are for recon armor. and peko feathers are busted atm. krayt dragon scales can get the +15 bonuses. janta hides are also possibilities, i cant remember off the top of my head what else.

Thanks for that Zina! Krayts and Juanta eh,


Can you see on the item before you do the final combine to figure out what is needed? If I have to go kill me some Krayts to get better armor so be it!


the Peko feathers did the same thing correct? add to health? I thought I read somewhere on these boards that they add to the durability?

a few things....you can do a bazaar search for "components" and look at the various enhancements. theres a lot more things that can be used in battle (carbineer certed armor) but most of them are like +5 or so.


peko feathers are supposed to go in a "feathered" enhancment. however, i am under the impression that this does not work as of now. hopefully this will be fixed in the near future

New (post-CU) feathers work. The old pre-CU ones don't. So don't buy any feathers unless they are stacked.

Feathers don't show stats though, so the only way to see what value you will get is to actually make a feathered appearance enhancer then logout and wait, i.e. the same song and dance as with crafted layers atm.

The nice thing about peko feathers, besides hitting values like +16 health or +17 health, is the feathered appearance enhancer is added during the appearance stage, so you only need one per piece and it's no extra hassle on a suit you were probably custom making anyway.
