Heard all you master Armoursmith people talking about 12pt armoursmiths, and how its better, was wondering what this meant, why its good and how you get it (if it is good)

You get 2 extra points by using skill tapes in clothes. You need a total of +20 in experience tapes to get 2 more points and you need to put them in 8 pieces of clothes (or less).
What 2 extra points gives you is great. This is because when makingarmor you want to get high resist but at the same time keep encumberance low (experiment in 2 or even 3 rows when crafting). By having 12 points instead of 10 to distribute, you can do that more so than a 10 point smith. Itmakes a big difference in the end result to me.

Not exactly, to get one additional experimentation point you'd need an item/items that total +10 to armour experimentation. For example, the suit that I have consists of:
Boots: +3
Gloves: +4
Shirt: +8
Hat: +4
Belt: +1
----------------
Total: +20
Which gives me a final total on my character sheet of +120 Armour Experimentation, which means I have 12 points to spend when I craft 
. The major problem you'll find in getting to 12 points is acquiring all those tapes, as they can easily go for tens of millions each(for example, a +25 tape sold for 73mil on chilastra recently).

also, until u get the extra points, use alot of bespin port. Lets say u put 8 points into the base when u craft, and u get an amazing sucess (bespin port gives u a better chance of this). IT actually works out as if you got 1 exp point as the line fills that bit more (lets say a good sucess filled 50%, and an amazing filled 60%). It would mean wit the same 10 points, you filled out 1 extra box, so you have 1 extra to play with.
