Isnt RIS supposed to be upgraded in the Combat Rebalance?
I thought the Devs said somewhere that RIS was supposed to be the best in the game and that post CB it will be??

It's not that RIS will be improved... many other armors will be nerfed. I'm sure there will no longer be any 80-90% composite after the combat revamp.

I've seen practically all 90% resist RIS, no lie. It was in an armorshop as a decoration in Mos Elsewhere on Bria

yea, if you use the extra layer from the ackley (requires an extra albatross feather) and get lucky crafting it it can get over 80% resists. too bad my helm was made before the geo lab was added, it coulda been a lot better

Yeah, that's Apex's. He used the Acklay and night sister layers I think. He had a lot of 80% peices, pre-slice and 0/0/0 HAM bracers/biceps.

for those of you who mentions the lack of Acid and Stun resist, they CAN be put into the armor by using an Acklay Interwoven RIS layer schematic (must have 2 of them.. each is 5-use).. without this schematic, you won't get Acid or Stun..
I'm gonna -try- for that schematic but I'm not gonna get my hopes up

At the moment, using kinetic layers and Janta Hide, I can make RIS with a base of 65% and that is as good as alot of the composite armour u see. If I get a good resist slice it is then better than most comp. so the comments about it sucking are a bit harsh.
What's true, however, is that I would never wear it into any sustained, high level combat. It's worth too much bloody money, lol
Looks nice though (and don't ever get it made it red, it looks krap!)

its resists can be made better than comp, up to 90%. but it has venerabilities to stun and acid.
and red is the best color imo. it really stands out.

No resist can be crafted beyone 80%. Base resists can be sliced up to 90%, so any armor with a base resist of 67% or greater has the potential to be sliced up to 90% base.
The real advantage to RIS is that all pieces require only a single armor segment. If you loot a single exceptional Nightsister layer, for example, you're not going to be able to make any kind of composite with it except for a pair of gloves. With RIS however, you could use that single layer to make any piece you wanted. Loot a set of five exceptional shards? You can either make one composite chest platefrom them or five pieces of RIS.
RIS is what established crafters do with thenice loot that comes our way.

First, it's very good guide. Thx for the work.
But foremost - does anyone have some established WPs for hunting GKDs like for example "hunting" the random spawns in Hero quest? I've been looking for GDK for the last few days, travelled nearly all the southern Lok but I was unable to find a single one.
I have few questions. If anyone would devote some time and help I would appreciate it.
1. If I find a group of kimos (DKs, GKs, EKs, EDKs) and kill them, is there a chance that GDK will spawn?
2. I've found many kimos near the mountain. Does GDK ever spawn there?
3. Does the GDK at Kimo Town drops the scale(s)? Some say yes, some say no, but no one is able to give me definite answer.
4. Like I said earlier - does anyone have any WPs where to look for GDKs?
Thx everybody for their time.
