Armorsmith Archive

As much as I'd like to try my hand at crafting it and want more options, I think the wookies should get the job. Or at least a bonus in it's crafting.

I would be more supportive of a "bonus" in it's making. Not more points, just a better chance for successful experiments.

2 reasons:

1 - I think it follows the path of the bowcaster in the congruity of the game.

2 - I have plenty of reasources to keep track of already.

Though I would love to have another type of armor available to craft, I really believe the ability to create Wookie armor should only belong to the Wookies. It would seem to make sense and follow the path of the Wookie culture. In this way, any Wookie can craft their own personal armor, take pride in collecting the required resources and building a work of art, yet only the best Wookie armor would be made by Wookie armorsmiths.

If the devs are going to put all this huge amount of work into the game creating a new armor type for armorsmiths to make, then it should be content for all of us.

Not just the 2 or 3 wookiee armorsmiths per server.

As a Wookiee I say no way, I want everyone to have it. The problem is that if only Wookiees can Armorsmiths can make it, the price will be dictated by the 1 or 2 people on each server. So they will be too rare and overpriced, just like Bowcasters are currently.

If the devs want to have it make more sence, have a series of quests to get the schematic (not as difficult as the RIS quest) from a Wookiee NPC.

It is just a uninformed guess that thier are "2 or 3" wookie armorsmiths per server. Even if that is the case I think wookies should be able to craft only. Clothing is a different as any race should be able to make a few loin clothes to wrap around the wookie. However, just like bowcasters,wookie armor technology should be something only understood by wookies.

i don't know a single wookie armorsmith on intrepid.

I vote to make it craftable by everyone, however I have no problem with wookies getting a bonus during crafting.

Another idea would be to give wookies extra colors to choose from, or even be able to choose from a few tribal patterns or similar while non-wookies were confined to the standard palette.

I see no reason to have class-specific armor (or clothing) only be made by that class. It will severly limit the availability of the armor andraise the price. I agree with someone who said that if the developers finally put so much effort in making new armor available, it should be for all armorsmiths, not just a few.

I agree thatideally it should be wookiee only, but we need something else for all of us. Perhaps there should be some wookiee armorsmith on Endor somewhere that we have to visit to teach us how to make it. I'm not talking an RIS quest thing, but something where you pay him 20k for the schematics or something to role play actually having to learn about Wookiees and making their armor. I think that would be more fun anyways than just dumping the schematics in our Datapad.
