Thread: Is it possible?
Yes, but tailors make that type of armour, not armoursmiths
Just ask any good tailor for clothing and you'll get what you apparently are after ![]()
I could be wrong, but ALL armor will have encumberance no matter what the condition. The condition effects its resists, but it still is armor and encumbers just the same. Just because a comp chest plate has 0 condition doesn't mean it is now near weightless.
If you want to mix clothing with armor, which I am doing now, you are stuck with the encumberance. Sorry. It is impossible to make a piece of armor with no encumberance.
I've seen a few examples of neat mixes of clothing and armor, clearly worn for fashion. But while you could probably make armor with encumberance experimented fully instead of resists, and you could probably make segments with the same, and you could probably not add layers. I think you would still end up with a fair bit of encumberance.
Plus you'll never find an armorsmith willing to do so. To make any of the higher armors requires identical segments, ie: factory segments. Not many people would be willing to fire off factory segments experimented for encumberance instead of resists.
