View Full Version : Durability of the Monk PA

After 3 swamp cave runs and 4 maybe 5 canyon cave runs, my monk PA is now at a wopping 86% condition.

I don't really monitor my normal armour's condition untill it starts getting near the 30's, but heck - I just got the PA and hadn't really used it, I just wanted to see if it was going to be viable to wear on a normal basis.

And in a few hours, it's lost 1/3 of its condition.

Anyone else notice this as well? Or is it just me?

Am I just accident prone? Do I stand in front of too many chaos minion?

does getting something constructed make it more durable?

and to prodg, I know as a monk from cave runs I had to replace regular monk ( holy spirit ) armor about once every two days. ( that was when hard core caving. )

Hmm hm... do you mean 86/120 or xx/86?
If the latter then... wtf?!?
If it's the first case then you can consider yourself as lucky.. i wrecked my PA last friday after only five hours of playing (firemobs). Completely wrecked.. (0/120). o_O

So i guess the 20x blueprints i have of my pa2 is qualified as
being a rare item? W00t :)

it's kinda like an epic run, but no it's not.

and i didn't know they stopped making pa researchable, it was
during my hibernation that they did this.

yeah Tank PA hasnt been researchable for a while now.

thats why it is artifact when you buy it.

monk PA is my AFK suit, i dont use it in combat so i cant answer your question. I'll ask around.

well... you can repair em... a bit high lvl maybe but its possible... or ... buy a new one...

just had a idea...

Honest Carni's used power armours

Selling monk pa's 123 apu/ppu

Bring your old wrecked one 0/100 minimum to get a discount!



Selling better monk pa's, slightly used

Tank PA hasn't been researchable since I got my first suit back in like November. I remember trying to get it BPd, along with my newly-acquired Bat Queen bones.

lol nub

There was a brief period when some of it could be BPed as could cyber-eye 4s and adv. headbones. KK fixed it shortly after though.

IIRC - you could only copy the PA BPs though, not the armour itself. Also, I thought it was only PA1 - I still have some BPs of that and made some up to get the monkey suits. If anyone wants to swap PA1 BPs fro PA2 on Saturn give me a yell.

They're right though, 'tis not bpable anymore mr. d0x :p

I was calling myself a nub for attempting to research Bat Queen bones. Sorry it wasn't clear, it was late.

just the same question al lthe time - why isnt it possible to shoot 3000 rounds without cleaning my gun or take care.
and armor should break much faster them now. if u whould ever count the damage armor takes in one hour chaos cave or something it would be shocking high.

boost repairers ... and armour constructers.

Okay - so it's not just me that seems to be having this issue.

Bug or as designed?

What's the problem exactly?


My Holy Shelter vest got wrecked all the time.


I didn't expect PA to be different. I got 8 Pas though. :p

Strangely my ARS ( :lol: ) is fine after over a month. I got a dozen of them on the first day because I expected them to get fooked in hours at TL115 but my first set has yet to be repaired.

Maybe that's the up-side of a spy dying so quick - not enough time for the armour to get hurt :mad:.

Then the monks would have to do both. This can go in circles forever :).

come to think of it i am not sure why they call it a power suit, i mean its just a vest, should it not be a power long sleeve shirt? it covers your whole body. are we then saying in addition to wearing this snug fitting suit under it a tanks got on full body armor anda helmet under his helmet?

eh, i dont know...it hurts my brain...

That would explain why the hit-box is so much bigger - twice the armour.
