Hi Guys,

What's the app of the heaviest forged HP? Damite cut with platinum for whatever template is most protective?

Thanks. Just curious.

I don't think anyone has had enough damite to try it, but i'd suspect that app of the quest one is pure damite app not weighted at all. So weighted damite would probably be another level of protection higher.

Slight tangent, but I've been seeking someone with the skill/techs to craft some heavy full plate from HC steel and another from maybe lumium, but am unable to find someone even capable of doing so masterfully in Prime. Please be in touch with me if you're able to do this :)

<<is it the same as that damite full plate with gold leaf that was posted?>>

That's extremely unlikely. Real damite would be much worse against fire and cold, but much better against eletrical damage. The physicals might be about right, though...I have yet to actually find any damite anywhere myself, so I couldn't say for sure. I'm still holding off on heavier stuff for myself until after the combat rewrite anyway...I'm going to wait and see if it's worth the hindrance.

Thanks,

>>That's extremely unlikely. Real damite would be much worse against fire and cold, but much better against eletrical damage.

The damite armor from the quest is real damite.

I would chalk up the armor having poor electrical damage protection and good fire/ice protection to the armor template just being really bad at taking advantage of the electric stat and really good at taking advantage of the fire stat.

Can you reclaim the damite from that armor?

I haven't had a chance to see the damite plate, but the weapons from kanton's can't be, so i'd think that ican't be reclaimed either.

Thanks Arturik. Do any performance tests?

I.e. 20 shots from a friendly archer wearing it vs. 20 shots wearing normal dirge massive plate?

I bet I wouldn't be the only one entertained by a post of results from something like that.

@Starlear

While I'm not in Prime, and a blacksmith, not an armorsmith... allow me to suggest my own mix creation for armor, Illumium.

The stats on the alloy is 70 hard, 51 durability, 29 workability(nearly twice that of lumium), 47 electric, 72 thermal, and 88 physical(a 2 point drop from both lumium and histeel)
It comes with a density at 3.2

The concept behind this was to create a version of histeel that would allow tempering to have full effect by getting the durability of it above 50, with a minimum loss of physical, since that was where armor got its potency.

The secondary benefit is you give up 2 physical for double the workability of lumium, all while nearly doubling the amount you can stretch your lumium supply

The mix is made 3:1:1 Lumium, Covellite, HC Steel

LC chain gloves app to follow

The gloves look like they offer protection for the following areas:

right hand
left hand

You feel certain that some lumium-alloy chain gloves appear to impose trivial (2/15) maneuvering hindrance and insignificant (1/15) stealth hindrance, offering:
good (5/16) protection and very high (10/18) damage absorption for puncture attacks.
good (5/16) protection and very high (10/18) damage absorption for slice attacks.
good (5/16) protection and very high (10/18) damage absorption for impact attacks.
good (5/16) protection and very good (8/18) damage absorption for fire attacks.
good (5/16) protection and very good (8/18) damage absorption for cold attacks.
low (2/16) protection and fair (5/18) damage absorption for electrical attacks.

If you were only wearing some lumium-alloy chain gloves your maneuvering would be insignificantly hindered and your stealth would be minimally hindered.
But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently lightly hindered and your stealth is somewhat hindered.

Hope it helps.

I do love the sarcasm. :P

honestly, I'm well aware of the normal way of lightening or weighting a metal with oravir or lead/platinum/gold. This was my suggestion for those who were having trouble crafting pure lumium things, because the actual protection difference is minimal, and the increase in workability is significant.

Illimin

Yeah i'd estimate that a lumium heavy full plate would probably take like 1100-1200 mech with techs and career.

I think workability is the ability to temper, but durability effects the impacts of tempering?

Workability is also how hard it is to craft with.

>I'm not seeing a flexibility app in any of my ingots. Was that clarified in a later post I can't find?

He meant Durability.

Exactly what I thought too. Was there a clarification post?
