Theoden,

Does that mean that until you get an elite profession (Carbineer, Bounty Hunter or whatever) that you can't wear armour?!??!

Kind of annoying, I'm getting missions to kill creatures that are hitting me for 150+ and all I can do to them is about 60, I spend ever fight spamming the bacta key! Weapon upgrades look like they may boost my damage by around 10 (I'm currenty level 10) so that isn't going to help at all.

Any help you can give or advise would be very appreciated.

Check your profession trees for type of armor you can wear. Only TK's and Jedi can not wear armor. They have natural innate armor. As for a list of armors and there types.

Recon: Ubese, Tantel, Mabari,Ithorian Guardian, Wookiee Cerimonial, *Scout Trooper, *Rebel Reconissance Armor (AKA Rebel Marine Armor Pre-CU) andquest reward Maurader Recon Armor

Battle: Padded, Marauder, Bone, Ithorian Defender, Wookiee Black Mountain, R.I.S, *Stormtrooper, *Rebel Battle Plate (not sure the real name)

Assault: Composite, Chitin, Ithorian Sentinal, Wookiee Hunting Armor, *Assault Stormtrooper, *Assault Rebel, Bounty Hunter, Mandalorian

Think that's all the armors in the game. On Vendors it should say a type of armor like Recon, Battle, Assault and that will tell you the kind you can wear. Like I said just check your profession Trees and find out what you can wear in the novice boxs. Oh..on thing. you can't wear armor till you at least reach a Novice Elite profession like Commando, Rifleman, Carbineer, etc etc...

Hope that helps hun.

Nope sorry hun. no armor till you get an elite proffession. Group for better survivability. They are kinda forcing the newer players into that. Hunt lower level mobs till then and as soon as you can upgrade to a new gun. Every little bit helps. Also..don't stand a fight if you are alone, Run your tushy off so you are alittle harder to hit.

Being an armorsmith too I kinda think they should not only allow armors to the Novice Professions but add Core Certifications. Like A Novice Marksman can only wear armors made with Basic cores. Give an actual use to making the basic model cores and give new characters some armor to survive with during the gridn to an Elite proffession.

Nisaki,

Depressing news, weird too that there's such a huge amount of grinding to do before you can get some armour.

Guess I'll have to keep smashing that Bacta shot key until I reach my Elite - not that I even know what I want to be yet!!

Thanks for the advise though, much appreciated.

Hey im a ranger / Pikeman. Find ranger a better proff if you are melee. and heres my question:

What kind of armor should i use? I was thinking about a RIS set of armor with kinetic protection 7 000 and 6 000 on the other stats.

I dont know if there is any better way to go.

Thanks for the help.

As a ranger/pikeman, Battle Armor is the only type you can wear, so... as long as you're not Ithorian or Wookiee, you can wear Marauder, Padded, Bone, RIS, or Battle Faction armor. Any of these will have the same "protection" stats, as the appearance only makes the armor look different, but may give the armor some "condition" bonuses, as in the RIS armor (condition over 100k is possible).

You'll be in "hand to hand" combat most of the time, so you'll definitely want to get the highest Kinetic protection you can, just as you were saying. A full quad-kinetic layer battle armor should come out somewhere around 7100 kinetic, 4900 energy, 6000 general protection if the AS has some really good resources. This is NOT a common setup for battle armor, so you will likely not find any just sitting on a vendor. You'll probably have to contact a well-known AS on your server and have them make you a custom suit.

If you have the cash to spend (you indicated you were thinking of RIS), you might as well get it health enhanced while you're at it. The extra 350 health (if maxed) is nice to have. Being a Ranger, you might also be able to work out a deal with the AS if he/she is in need of any hide, or needs any of the loot components to make the RIS or health enhancers. Just remember to ask for "Quad-kinetic layered armor with 350 health. The AS will probably do a double take when he hears this, as will you when you hear the price quote.

It WOULD be a killer suit for you though.

Hey guys I dont know much about armor, to tell you the true, I havent craft armor anytime in all the time that I have play.

But since the CU all the armor measurement change, and now there is something that I am asking everyday

Is there a cap for the Armor protection?

For example in the bioclothes there is a cap of 25 of effect, if you take 30 you will see 30 in the skill window, but the game effect will be 25, that is what i read in the KB of the game.

Now I am wondering if there is a cap for armor, I see some armors that are 8000 of energy, but dunno if that thing is limited by a cap, and also I dont know if the PSG is included into that cap.

All who gain power, are afraid to lose it!

Okay. That is a good post. Thank you.

The health thing on the RIS is peko feathers right? Where hunting them today to get the loot. but only found one peko peko albatross. and no loot from that birdie.

I know that i can find a battle armor with the same stats. But ever since i started playing 1 + year ago, i wanted a RIS armor. now i got money to buy one. And i thought rather a RIS than a padded. look like one of the village ppl in that. lol

But thanks again for putting things in perspective..

To hit +350 health on a suit (+50 for each piece - gloves and boots dont get health enhancers), you will need more than just peko peko feathers. Here's a 1-minute overview of what you may need.... remember... the AS may already have these in stock, so check with him first, it will save you alot of time.

7 peko peko feathers: health stats range from ~ +11 to +22 (these do not show when you loot them, only when they're crafted (bug)) 1 feather goes into each final armor piece.

Around 40 Krayt Scales: health stats range from ~ +5 to +12 (these WILL show on the scales). Each "segment" in armor takes 1, and there are 33 segments in a suit of armor, but since there are required "identical" components, you will need extra to make factory schematics.

The trick to getting +50 on each piece is to have high enough feathers and scales. A good rule of thumb is... 3xKraytScaleValue + PekoValue. For example, Krayt Scales with 10, and Peko feathers with 14 would end up with 3x10 + 14 = 44 (not quite up to 50) per piece.

Hope this helps!

A less spendy and equally stylish alternative is a marauder suit with a RIS helmet. ADK the helmet if you can, and replace the marauder parts as needed for much less money. You can probably find an AS willing to trade you a few headless suits of marauder built to your specifications for a good chunk of hide.

That's EXACTLY what my Ranger wears most of the time. The marauder helmet is just plain ugly... looks like a lobster tail slapped on top of your head.

My other option... is a Rebel Battle Helm, with matching colors on the Marauder armor.... goes really well together.
