I know voritor segment are used in Bone Armor. I am not quite sure about the rest, if you read the description of the segment when you examine it it should tell ya what it can be used in.

If the items are labeled "segment enhancers" or something similar, they can be used in any armor segment that has an enhancement slot (composite, ubese, and mabari are some of them, check your schematics). If the item is labeled "armor segment" than it can only be used in one specific type of armor and replaces the crafted armor segment.
 
Because segment enhancers do not replace anything in the armor, they are essentially "power ups" that will always improve some stat of your armor above what it would be if you made it without the item. However, oftentimes these stat boosts come with corresponding encumbrance trade-offs, so you need to decide whether it's worth it.

That's the answer I was looking for, thanks! =)

First, thanks to JaatoWaals for his excellent guide.

As a starting armorsmith I have couple questions:
a) From what I've read, it seems that composite armors dominate the market and there really isn't that much demand for any other type of armor. So it seems that the best way to get into "market" is to start making composite armor. Now, as a new armorsmith, my resources are somewhat limited to it seems likely that a good way to start my career would be to start producing and selling unlayered composites. But, can one make good enough unlayered composited to attract customers? Is it enough if one uses normal armor segments, instead of advanced ones? Is there really any kind of demand for these? And how the hell I'm supposed to get Beyrllius Copper if it hasn't spawned for over 30 days?

b) Just to clarify, even the OQ/SR/other stats of hides affect the outcome of the armor? Not sure why but I have this crazy idea that only the stats of inorganic-resources affect the outcome.

c) This concerns the question a. It's mentioned in the guide that it's possible to produce over 50% composite without any layers, if one uses the right resources. How good the resources should be to make that kind of armor? (I think I should use F-section of the guide in this one.. Any idea if there is a calculator somewhere which just asks the stats of my resources and then gives the likely results?)

Thanks for help in advance.

Great guide....just have one correction to offer...the reinforced klicknick shells. Although the better ones do have stats close to those listed, they are infact segments and not enhancements...used in chitin armor. Imagine my surprise when I payed out the nose for these things, hoping to make some kickass composite, only to find that they could only be used in chitin.

Jaato- Just wondering why you say Tantel is a fave for PvP??  Most people I know use Stun weapons in PvP.  Thanks!

That's because it was written almost a year ago...when encumbrance still mattered and most players couldn't walk around wearing a full set of basic composite, let alone the insane 90% stuff that later came into being.
 
I'm working on some changes to the Guide. Nothing major, just several corrections and additions, including the new wookie armors. I'll add that to the list. Right now I'm out of town on a short vacation, but I'll be back in a few days and I'll post it then.

Just anxious to see the Kashyyykian Armor additions )

Do we know if there will be any specific enhancements for Kashyyykian similar to the items that exist for padded, composite, etc?

I know a lot of Armorsmiths aren't interested in investing the time and money into the Kashyyykian (especially Hunting) and I totally understand! But, that is why I will be focusing on it! The 2 new Kashyyykian armors are one of the best things to come into SWG during my time here (hatched Dec. 7, 2004). These armors took a race that was nearly useless in any higher level combat content (Krayts, Vette, Death Watch, etc.) and gave them the ability to stand side by side with the rest of the community.

Even if the so-called Armor nerf hits all armors equally, at least we will know that Wookiees will still be on par with the rest of the players. )

I'm not an armorsmith, but was wondering if you guys could give me a link to a site that has a really good setup of pictures of all types of armor. Like pictures of what each armor and their parts look like.
 
Wanted to look at making a nice outfit with a few armor pieces and forgot what they all looked like...

Hi ... and thanks for a great guide ...
 
I have a BIG problem with the grinding macro.  It works fine EXCEPT that it gives me the "simple shirt" schematic to grind (
 
I have tried changing the schematic number ... but I STILL get the "simple shirt" schematic to grind ...
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanx
