 More on using “vendor search”: (1) Also note that not all player vendors will appear on the search. It is a feature that can be enabled or disabled by the player who places a vendor, though most people will have it enabled. Some people disable the vendor search if they have higher prices & still get plenty of traffic due to location (like being in a large shop or mall) where they can get away with less Advertising. The bazaar search is a form of marketing after all, which may not always be helpful to the merchant. (2) The “Crafted Item Name Filter” is supposed to only work for crafted items. Apparently this works some of the time for non-crafted items, seems very buggy. (3) The vendor search places all factory crates in one category, regardless of what the crates contain. These can be found by filtering under “Misc Items” --> “Factory Crates.” Since all crates will only have crafted items in them, you can use the crafted item name filter to narrow down to the type of items you are looking for in crates. Certain items are rarely sold as singles, so you may have to look here to find what you are looking for - a common example of this are components like master artisan electronics components which are almost always sold only by the crate. (4) Similarly, you may also want to filter for “Wearable Containers” - this may be helpful for finding things often sold as sets, like armour. Most reputable merchants will provide a descriptive name for the container because there is no way to know the exact contents as a buyer, this relies on a good deal of trust in the vendor (“Let the buyer beware!”).

 So for protection, in order of importance, is: the chest, then the pants, then the helm, & finally the arm peices. For combined peices such as ubese & mabari, the chest piece is adjusted to make up for the missing arm pieces (For ubese, you would add the 2 biceps so you would have 36% + (7% * 2) = 50%; mabari includes all the arm pieces accounting for 64%).

 ARMOUR STATS
 What the heck do these numbers mean? The 4-digit number on your armour is technically the independent variable in a quadratic equation for percentile resists mapping the domain [0, 10000] onto the image [0, 60]. In layman’s terms, that means that the armour rating signifies a percentile resist (as in the old system) ranging from 0-60%. Because the equation is concave quadratic, you get diminishing returns for higher resists. The actual function is:  60 * (AR/10000) + { [ (10000 - AR) / 10000 ]  *  (AR/200) } Which reduces to: 0.011 * AR  -  5E-7 * AR * AR Some hard numbers: 1000  =  10.5% 2000  =  20.0% 3000  =  28.5% 4000  =  36.0% 5000  =  42.5% 6000  =  48.0% 7000  =  52.5% 8000  =  56.0% 9000  =  58.5% 10000  =  60%.
 DAMAGE TYPES
 There are two primary damage types -- energy & kinetic. Additionally, some weapons add “elemental” damage of acid, electricity, heat, or cold. Currently, however, the quantity of “elemental” damage compared to kinetic or energy makes worrying about any of them pointless. As before, the majority of creatures use kinetic melee attacks. Those that do ranged attacks often do energy damage. The majority of ranged weapons are energy-based, although there are a significant number of good kinetic ranged weapons.
 ARMOUR LAYERS
 In this system, layers are optional, & very expensive. Pre-NGE they weren’t as popular because of the decay & price. In the post-NGE world, they are almost a necessity in making armour for a full template combat toon.
 Layers add to a resist but reduce the resist of its “opposite,” so there is a bit of a yin/yang effect. An Armoursmith can now add up to 12 layers for a piece of advanced armour, so the effect can be major (up to +1200/-1200). Kinetic layers will reduce energy resists - energy layers will reduce kinetic. Acid & electricity are opposed, as are heat & cold. Advanced layers increase 2 otherwise opposed resists at the expense of the other 4.

 CUMULATIVE EFFECTS OF THE ARMOUR PIECES
 As stated above, the way armour is calculated has changed in the NGE. In the CU there were hit zones that each attack was assigned to. Therefore, when you wore a helmet, you recieved the full protection of the helmet for any attack that was assigned (randomly) to “hit” the head. If the attack “hit” a different area that you didn’t have armour on, you recieved no protection. In the NGE, there are no more “hit zones.” Armour now is added cumulatively by the number of peices you wear. So before, you wear only a helmet you recieve full protection on the head & no protection every where else. In the NGE, you equip only a helmet ALL attacks are reduced by the amount of protection that the helmet gives. When another piece, say a bicep, is added, ALL attacks are reduced by the amount of protection of the [helmet + the amount of resists gained by the bicep]. The number visible on the individual armour peices stand for the amount of protection you would recieve if you wore a whole set with the those same stats.
 So which pieces provide the most protection? Rounding for simplicity:
    chest = 36% (35.71%)
    pants = 21% (21.43%)
    helmet = 14% (14.27%)
    arm pieces = 7% each (7.15%)
