And once the initial rush dies down, embrasures will be fairly cheap too, as it's only 25 steel and 12 cloth, as @Lucianus pointed out, and us smiths will be driving each other down to get business.
Unless we all want to collaborate and agree on a set price for embrasures, which I'm 100% down with.
got gud
I'm sure it sucks that non-decay armour is going to eat into all that profit you definitely weren't making on Armoursmithing, though.

Not that I think it'll happen, of course. "Free (or exceedingly cheap) to city mates" is basically the mantra of the entire achaean economy.
Sorry about the delay, I didn't have the numbers until just now.
If you notice any paragons are giving significantly different reductions to the % listed in the above HELP, please file a bug.
Ok, let's see.
Resist numbers: these are always a bit variable because of how defences interact with each other. But:
Cutting/blunt: approximately 5%.
Magic/elementals: approximately 7%.
To allay concerns with balance, these numbers were factored in when we standardised armour stats in the event we'd want to add artefact armour down the line.
Druid SoA:
The note about that was back from the early 2000s, when defence stacking to insane caps was possible. There's not really a compelling reason any class should be denied SoA's rng effect when runewarden can be walking around with one. As I think Antonius mentioned, it doesn't convey the + cutting/blunt bonus.
Gating behind credits:
We actually have plans for temporary paragons in a PVE system down the line.
I am thinking of buying a blunt, cutting and poison leather one for Monk
Also, just want to state that it seemed pretty unfair to accuse you guys of some dastardly scheme by not supplying the numbers, even though nobody (at least in this thread that I saw) had even bothered to ask for them.

Customisations need to go all around.. kind of makes descriptors.. well pointless. who is going to pay for comms needed to make a nice suit of armour when they can jus add another 50 creds to have it look better than anything in game so far? I feel bad for whomever you had create all of those descriptors for the initial system setup

Just point out how the damage classes have once again taken a nerf, but nothing is being addressed with the efficiency, speed and deadliness of afflicting.. can there be a paragorn to make afflictions or venoms have a 5% chance of not working or something.... no one honestly dies to damage now a days anyways, its either an insta-kill or venomlock.
Really though, I feel that the price of modifiers was a bigger factor then anything else. Very few people cared about before we got artie armor, and it was hard to when some of the modifiers that added the most personality (like color) had the potential to be very expensive for something that was going to decay in a few months anyways.

Pretty sure both of those are somewhere on the far side of "not gonna happen" though.
- With sharp, crackling tones, Kyrra tells you, "The ladies must love you immensely."
- (Eleusian Ranger Techs): Savira says, "Most of the hard stuff seem to have this built in code like: If adventurer_hitting_me = "Sarathai" then send("terminate and selfdestruct")."
- Makarios says, "Serve well and perish."
- Xaden says, "Xaden confirmed scrub 2017."
Penwize has cowardly forfeited the challenge to mortal combat issued by Atalkez.
Sass noted. The issue isn't that it's going to make it so I can't get rich off armoursmithing (everyone knew that wasn't possible before). The issue is now armoursmiths are practically useless, as noted by Prof here.
got gud
Are weaponsmiths still in business? Yes. Yes they are.
@Omor You're both acting like everybody is going to go out and buy non-decay armour for 350 credits, which simply isn't going to happen. For a start, most people don't have the credits. Some of them won't ever have the credits. Most of those who do have the credits at some point will have other things they'll spend them on instead. All of those people are still going to require armour every 60 RL days.
Your ability to get rich - or even make any profit - isn't really any worse than it was yesterday, especially since you could likely make more from embrasures than you ever would from any one person buying cheap forged armour from you specifically during the course of playing.
