maby 55 i was 54 and no armor 55 was.

So far from the ones where I've been keeping notes on all stats including %s before and after experimenting.

With all slots having armor and a mix of DNA from teh same creature (H / H / H / H / VH), 69% phys. on combine, the armor was there and resists were. The resistes wer actually lower than the donor resists until I experimented 2 points into phys. and brought it up to 76%.

On test 2, I had armor on all slots except psych. Combine had no armor, 52% phys. Two points into phys brought it to 65% and armor came back.

I'm also seeing that if you add a resist between phys and prow, divide by two, then multply by a % based on the quality of the template, you get a fairly accurate mark on your resists. I'm currently using 95% for a high quality template. Although a vulnerability in either slot seems to always result in a vulnerability.

Spending xp pts in physical is definitely tied into armor. I'll try to pay attention to any combines I do with armored samples.

Haven't hardcore proven it yet, but i believe that the bonus resists you get form turning the template into a clone are also tied to experimentation on physique.

from what i've seen on this, you need to have 5 samples all with armor for it to end up in the template. I've been concentrating on craggy bolmas (dathomir) from my armor samples.

I spent a lot of time last night experimenting with armor. What I was going for was around a CL 30 critter with light armor, but had no luck at all. I put mixtures of frenzied graul and horned voritor into Physical, Prowess and Mental. What I found was that if you used HQ in physical, I generally couldn't even experiment the physical up to 50%, and the combine had no armor. When I used VHQ in physical, I could experiment it up to around 55% or so, but still no armor. Tonight I will try again adding armored samples to the other two slots as well, although this is certainly counter-intuitive (particularly if the psychology slot needs to be armored - blah).

So last night I has a very odd result. Using a mixture of Frnezied Graul and Horned Voritor Lizard. It tooks two attempts of experimenting physical (both great successes) to get the armor to show up. So far so good. I then began experimenting the other characteristics. With three points remaining I put a point into aggression. I got an amazing success and the armor disappeared. I put the remaining 2 points into physical but could not get the armor to reappear. There is definetly something more complicated going on. Not sure if this was a bug or if physical needs to exceed aggression in some way.

Is there a definate answer on this.... or any further tests done? I've had no luck getting armor to stick.

There is a definite answer, and it has appeared in other threads:

Once you get both physical sub attributes above 500 light armor will appear.

In cases were the armor was not showing up...What was the Fortitude stat at?

ahhhhhhh

Thx.

Ok...I knew about the Fortitude stat needing to be over 500. This applies to the Hardiness stat as well?...or is it even possible to have Hardiness less than Fortitude?

Only Fortitude matters.

500+ Fortitude = Light Armor

I posted a few days ago about a failure which dropped my Hardiness to sub500 but the Fortitude remained over 500 and the light armor was still there. so it appears that only 500+ Fortitude matters. sure that post got lost in the maelstrom of the bugged cloning system though hehhe.

The only way i was able to get Hardiness to drop below Fortitude has been to have a failure in a non-related stat... that loverly stat jumping has screwed up so many pets for me. Think the one i point out was a failure in Mental that raised Intelligence, lowered cleverness, and also jump stats to Hardiness dropping it.
