Hi. I'm new to posting on this forum but have visted many times before for info.
I'm curious if these Padded Armors cap at 47 instead of 48? I've been smithing quite a few after 47 without any support and have not seen any skillup in awhile.
I was crafting these today trying to get closer to where I could synthesize darksteel ingots when I noticed that I was getting leathercraft skillups as well. I thought this was odd since it says the recipe has leathercraft 12 as the base. My leathercraft was level 12 when I started making these. I had enough materials to attempt to craft 24 of these. A little bit after I had used half my materials my leathercraft reached level 13; after which I no longer got any skills in leather. I think perhaps the leather requirement for this craft may be 13 instead of 12.
Yeah, I am levelling Ninja too, and this looks like the next thing to wear, unless we hold out until 40, and have gimped gear for an even longer period of time.
Every job that can possibly wear this has better gear than this. There is no point in this gear other than to flash skin....god I hope you're no a galka doing that >_< This gear serves no real useful purpose other than to be a next harness set...which no one wears if they can help it.
