Armorsmith Archive

Hope someone might be able to help me with a few general questions I have (sorry if they appear in other threads).

I recently qualified as an Armoursmith and can make kinetic comp armour with 80/80/70 reasonably easy. What I wanted to know is what are the caps on such unsliced armour (i.e. in theory the best if i had the best materialsetc) . Also if i get my armour sliced, is there a cap on the stats it produces.

One other point on layers and segments, it appears to me that I can keep experimenting on a kinetic layer and keep increasing the effectiveness of the layer. But above a certain value it has no increase in the final outcome of the armour component (e.g.chest plate). Is this right or I am doing something really wrong!

Also given that i dont have millions lying around to buy CA's and am only a 10pt smith are there anyways I can increase my chances of having amazing sucesses e.g. drinks etc, quality of crafting tools / stations.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Highest base you can get without slicing is 80%. That is with perfect resources. Highest base you can get after slicing is 90% base.

you are experimenting in percentages when you arent seeing full numeric changes (3% to 4%) - but it can still impact the results of your armor... so keep experimenting that eff line completely

OMG I USED TO MAKE TEH ARMOURZ.

I've actually been able to hit 73% on a pair of gloves using the best resources..... I do have to admit though, it is using perfect layers that i've had since that one perfect crafting day...

I wish i had some stuff from the magic crafting day... would be fun to play with.

Gloves are also always the easiest thing to get high base on, chestplates the hardest (cause they use more aluminum and beyrillus copper relative to other stuff)

May be your base is very close to 71% and if you get just one better res. for the final combine, you'll hit 71%. On Infinityall we can get is 70%base...maybe 71% on gloves- that's all

Ma-ma

It seems like on most servers the best that people have done is 72% base on composite, with no armor enhancers, no matter what layer types you use.

Keep trying, just recently after 2 runs of 70base my 3rd run hit 71 base on all the pieces.
