I ran 4 experiments with 1 DNA sample containing light armor and 4 samples without armor but with 490 to 500+ on their fortitude rating. I would have ran a 5th experiment but I ran out of high fortitude DNA.

Results

Slot 1 light armor, slot 2-5 no armor high fortitude. Gotover 500fortitude in the template and gained light armor.

Slot 2 light armor, slot 1 & 3-5 no armor high fortitude. Gotover 500fortitude in the template and gained light armor.

Slot 3 light armor, slot 1-2 & 4-5 no armor high fortitude. Gotover 500fortitude in the template and gained light armor.

Slot 5 light armor, slot 1-4 no armor high fortitude. Gotover 500fortitude in the template and gained light armor.

I did a few attempts at having hte light armor sample just in slot 4, but I only had 480-495 fortitude in the no armor samples so wasn't able to break 500 fortitude in the template. However, I suspect if I had broke 500 fortitude with only 1 light armor in this slot it too would have got light armor in the template.

Conclusion

You only need 1 sample with light armor, provided you can break 500 fortitude in the template.

Nice. Thx for posting it.

Hm. You may have it here. It seems to coincide with the stuff I've made that used only 1 armor dna and the rest other stuff.

Great post!

I've been messing around with light armor using arachne warrior DNA and could never get it to stick. Now I know why.

I wonder if going over 500 in fortitude would be enough to gain light armor (no light armor DNA.)

To date I haven't gotten light armor when it didn't exist in the DNA first. But I haven't tracked all the stats to be sure so not positive. It should probably be easy enough to test out. There are so many non-armor highermobs these days it seems.

Nicely done

and it's gotta be in the phys slot? or no?

*re-reads post* never mind.. that's a no.

I am not sure if the original dan had light armor on it or not or which slot it was in if it did but from what I have noticed is that I will ALWAYS get AR1 if I am able to experiment Phisique over 50%.

Just out of Curiiusity - what are you using for your high fortitidude dna?

i've gotten phys exp over 50% consistantly the last 5 pets.. ranging from cl high 20's to mid 40's... none had armor... i'm going to have to try the 500 fort.
