Thread: Crafting Ris

Essentially, you got youself the hard parts of RIS. I would say an armorsmith should just charge you about the same as purchassing regular armor such as bone/chitin/composite. In my server that be like 100-300k.
Um, I disagree here. If there's a critical failure - it reduces the condition. There goessome rare and expensive loot.Who's responsible? What about Talusian Fiberplast being an uncommon Fiberplast and mega expensive for good quality?Same for Chromium Aluminum? What about the Armorsmith time and resources to get RIS certified? What about Chanlon Intrusive Ore rarely spawning? What about the extra step to craft a RIS segment? What about only having 1/3 the choiceAND a confusingcolor pallete, and spending 30 minutes double checking the customers color preference?What about my 20 million credit +12suit so I can experiment the condition higher?What about layers?
There are MANY variables at play, and it takes significant time and$$ tooffer quality products as an Armorsmith. I'm sorry, but you can't compare standard armor, with elite loot armor like RIS.
I won't name a price here, but my signature has a sticky with my price list for Eclipse. Congrats on the loot, it will reduce the cost dramatically.

how much would it cost me for someone to craft me a full set of ris armour?
i have all the scales, bones and hides for it already.
Expect to pay something similar to custom BH Armor.

Strongly agree with what was posted here.
I actually did make a suit of kinetic layered RIStoday and charged 1 million for it. Mind you,a million is my regular quad-kin layered price, and if it had not been for someone on my friends-list I would have charged double that.
