Thanks.

If you are going to jump into the armor game, your going to need to have started stockpiling months ago, but seriously forarmorsmithing you are going to want to get the following things,

1- A very good ranger friend or friends, you will need tons of wooly hide for both composite and wookie armor.

2- Start watching for high oq and sr resources, like aluminum, intrusive ore, known solid petrochem fuel, and wooly hide.

3- Type specific resources for composite, like naboo fiberplast and colat iron,

4- Type specific resources for wookie armor, like endor decidious wood, yavinian leathery hide.

5- For layers you will need like 20 or more type specific and non type specific resources and always remember to look for the highest oq and sr possible.

When I first got into AS I was told about a wonderful website called swgcraft.com you will find every single craftable itemin their database with listings of required resources and resource amounts along with what resources are currently available on your server. I religiously watch this site to save myself the days of going around looking for the good resources.

Make friends with other MAS and tailors and share resources finds and be willing to trade what you have stockpiled for what they need, I have obtained quite a few resources not spawned for months through other smiths needing something I had.

Last but not least, keep in mind there are MAS everywhere on your server making similar armor with their own personal touches and its not the MASGCW so don"t burn yourself out running 10 factories day and night to be the richest smith on your server, take time to enjoy the game and all of the challenges that come with this profession, have people buy your armor because they enjoy the interaction with you not because you can churn out 100 suits a day and you are a l33t d00d whatever the hell that means.

Thank you sir.

You've been most helpful. I checked out swgcraft.com... didn't realize how many different types of resources went into armor. So now I gotta stock up... /sigh

That's a very good shift of Nabooian. Like the above poster mentioned, get cozy and make friends with scouts/rangers - they can be your best friend. And when a leathery or wooly spawns that is of great quality, camp that planet 24/7! Those are some of the most saught after resources out there.

In addition, good iron is hard to come by, so stock up when that comes around. If you need any more help, don't hesitate to send me a PM with questions.

Oh, and welcome to hell. Just kidding, of course.

lol, thanks for the welcome. AS certainly sounds tough, tougher than I thought it would be... Another question I had is what would be a good alternate crafting prof to go w/ AS? I was thinking Tailor, so I can make my own Reinforced Fiberplast Panels and Synthetic Cloth and all, but I really don't think its worth Mastering... I don't think I could stand making clothes

I was considering WS, but when I saw how difficult AS is, I figured WS would be similiar... no way jose.

That's a tough question. There certainly is some merit in taking Tailor at the beginning, it will help you get off your feet. God knows it helped me at first. I'm not sure where the new Wookie Armor component is on the Tailor Tree, but I know I took Tailor up to Field Wear III, which allowed me to make all the components an armorsmith would need at that time. After I got off my feet, I dropped Tailor, and picked up a combat profession to help with the hides.

Chef is about as far away as you could get from a good alternate crafting profession, but you probably already know that one.

Weaponsmith might not be so bad, actually. I debated for a long time doing that as well, but my wooly hide supply has dwindled down to nothing, and have no choice but to keep a combat profession to build up my stock again, plus I have an adventuring streak in me...

The reason weaponsmith might not be so bad is that you will have already mined the "genereic" components, such as Iron, Steel, Aluminum, and Ore, now all you would need to do is mine the "specific" components useful to a weaponsmith. Do both of those professions, and you will certainly be raking in the cash.

Wow...I couldn't imagine having to handle any more different resources than I currently do. Weaponsmith has many more resource requirements than armor...though I don't think they need creature harvests.(Loot drop of course though)

The most helpful thing I've found is the ability to harvest my own hide. It also provides me a diversion when I don't feel like crafting. I've found swordsman to be very good at PvE. Couple it with scout 0,0,4,0 and novice medic for heals.

i am a 1001 armorsmith, and as my hides dwindled, along with money to buy more, i decided to get weaponsmith to pass time and give me something to sell. it actually is pretty cheap to do once you have your basic supplies (iron, steel, copper) although i am still only novice i have something to do when i get sick of looking at armor. i recommend it totally

My AS is actually my alternate, so I have good old Rokran to harvest resources...

I think WS will just be too much xtra work.

Tailor sounds good still I guess... though I actually have considered Chef also. It doesn't seem as involved, though the resources would be completely different. I'm now thinking Architect, as it seems pretty simple, and easy to Master.
