Hello all

I am new to the game started about a week ago and running into problems and loseing alot of money.

I can't seem to find any armor to wear I baught a bunch of different types after buying a full set of bone and it wouldn't go on my body.I went and baught a peice of a bunch of other armor nothing worked lol. Can anyone tell me where I can look up what species/class can wear what armor. Do I need a certifaction to wear some armor I am really lost please help.

I also baught a sheild generator mk2 I think it broke when it reached 0/xxxx whenever I try to repair it doesn't do anything lol. Says there are no itiems that need repairs I baught all 3 diffferent types of repair tools armor weapons and drone. What am I doing wrong?

I baught a wind generator and survey tool also I surveyed the area one day and wind was 63% so I put wind generator up. That night I come back and have 400 energy stuff so Ieave it in harvester.I go to bed and get back on play for a few more hours then go back to see how much I had, my wind generator wasn't on when I got back. So I turn it on and it says there is no resource. so I check my stash and it has 600 energy and get my survey tool to survey again and all the wind that was there is gone? Wind Energy doesn't just die in 1 day it unlimited whats going on lol?

If I'm not mistaken, wookies need wookie armor. I mean, you folks are a bit taller than the average race in SWG. Shaq probably doesn't get his shoes off the shelf at his local FootLocker store. Look for a wookie tailor or someone who makes stuff for wookies.

Can't answer your question about the shield generator or wind farm, might want to try one of the other forums.

Shuff,

Like Tarkus mentioned, you may want to check on one of the other boards about the harvester questions because I've honestly never used one, even when I did have the artisan skill.

Wookies cannot wear any armor. That's why you are having issues. They can wear certain clothing, like jerkins that you can get from a tailor. But no armor.

And you really aren't missing out on much. Armor in SWG isn't like armor in DAoC or EQ - you don't need it. I have a set of padded in my bag for absolute emergencies, like a PvE fight against Rebels, or PvPing. But for 90% of the things I'm doing, I don't bother with armor.

Good luck getting answers forthe rest of your questions!

like people said before Wookiees cant wear armor we do get some pretty nice looking clothes though, i have heard rumors that SOME have protective qualityies but have yet to get that confirmed.

Im runninging into the same problem with the shield generators that i bought. they go down fast adn dont regenerate at all (as far as i can tell) i have two of them right now that im looking to get repaired, they are listed as clothes so maybe a tailor can repair it (i dunno im guessing here) but better chance that a armorsmith will be able to repair them.

as for the wind generator...well i havent a clue sorry..

Regarding the Wind Generator:

There are issues regarding the resource vanishing off harvesters once they hit 0 maintenance, ensure that you ALWAYS take the resource off harvesters before you run out of money on them.

Wind is like all other resources (including animal resources for that matter). They will change periodically, requiring you to move the harvester to a new location.

Resources will last, on average, 5-8 days. You simply chose the LAST day to put your harvester down (I've done this numerous times ). Currently there is no one to know how old a resource is without asking someone else who has been harvesting it from the start.

If there is currently NO wind on your planet, wait 1-2 days and the system will add a new wind resource.

Thanks for all your help guys.

Bacc,

Some tailors have the ability to make wookie clothing that has some level of protection, but its not going to be that much. The best you can hope for is to get it socketed and find some skill upgrades that help with protection.

As for the shield generators, these are also an "emergency only" item for me, because unlike armor, they protect your entire body and thus take significantly more damage than armor does. Each individual piece of the armor gets smacked seperately, which spreads the damage out. Shield generators get the full amount. If my partner in crime Havelock is correct, as long as you generator hasn't hit zero, it can be repaired by an armorsmith with an armor repair kit.

yeah, i think the wookiee battle padding is supposed to offer some protection though i have not found any yet so i do not know for sure. anyone ever see the stats on this stuff? my only hope is that it offers kinetic protection because it would be almost useless against creatures otherwise.

if you need wookie armor you can find a guy name weechu he can make you some sometimes for free and he can help you sell items that make a profit

I'm a wookie and as has been mentioned, wookies can't wear ANY armor. So when you are looking on the bazaar, don't even bother to look at the armor cause no matter how nice it seems, you can't wear it.

I have some nice looking wookie duds that were made for me by a master tailor. All of them are socketed but those power-ups are useless as I've heard they don't work anyway. I have the Battle Padding and I can't say for sure if it works or not as far as protection. I have read that some of the high level wookie clothes is supposed to offer some protection but the devs haven't said anything about it so who knows. I can't say as I've seen any difference in the damage I take tho I haven't really tried to test it.

Would be nice to get an official DEV statement on this. Perhaps you could post this on the Tailor forum and see what they have to say. Also put in your post that you wonder if it'd be possible for the Tailor Correspondent to specifically ask the Dev he is in contact with for an official statement. Then if you find something out, you could repost it on this board since I'm sure there are more people then just us that would like an official statement on the issue

Just an FYI Wookies have AC1 built in. So any wookie will have AC1, but we get the most amount of Strength. And no we cant wear armor. I was told when they make all the changes to armor we will get an improvment too.

I've never heard about wookies having built in AC1, where did you hear that? I'm not doubting you, just have never heard that before. Also, any idea what "improvements" we might be looking at getting? Specially since it appears they might be making out +10 taming bonus null and void with the CH changes going in.
