We already know Misugi's recipe, "small" version uses the same choices than its elder sister. Same materials but it lower quantity.

Placio on his side, is someone who dares making propositions. Those are his explanations :



Placio's reasoning is interesting. Obviously the recipe will ask for more materials, we'll see to what extend.
Aside from +3 parry, as Ingfarah's recipe we have +0 dodge, a fair resistance to slashing, and a piece which is pretty light -which will pleased some.

But ? isn't protection factor a bit low ? Placio's reasoning is right but start from the postulate that kitins strike far over 1100. off, as we said before, at S.K.A. (Sanekinion ten Kitina Aremei) we've ranked great kitins according to strength of their strike in - for the moment - 3 families :

- Class G (Great) : 1012 damage : Kincher, Kipucka, Kidinak, Kizoar.
- Class GS (soldier) : 1435 damage : Kirosta, Kinrey
- Class GE (extra) : various damage : Kipesta, Kiban, Kipee

This is each armors absorption against class G and GS :

r.misu || G : 1012x0.582 = 589 , GS : 1435x0.582 = 835 (threshold at 634) => 634
r.plac || G : 1012x0.513 = 519 , GS : 1435x0.513 = 736 (threshold at 643) => 643

Placio's recipe absorbs 70 points less against a kincher, 9 points more on a kirosta.

But do not forget parry ! will the extra bonus on Placio's recipe compensates protection factor deficits ? In any case it is obvious it will increase advantage against GS class.

To evaluate +6 gain that would features a complete armor from Placio's recipe in comparison to Misugi's one, we started from this document exhumed from relics of Wakwai monastary. Indeed they were Umaenai but in their time they were famous for the quality of their publications.

This grafitic shows how changes parry (or dodge) chances according to level difference between attacker and defender.



That come out from this document with a bit of Matemati, is that for a kitin in same levels than a mere fighter, 2 more parry points give 1% extra chance to avoid the hit.

So a complete armor from Placio's recipe would gives 3% (+6pt) chance of parry over a armor from Misugi.

Now in order to visualize the effect of all this, let's start the theorical test of "100 kitins' claws hits". S.K.A studies are still young but this would represent hits received within 2 minutes against 3 or 4 kitins. The array shows also the number of heals level 200 amplified at 100% (1390hp) neccessary to cover the wounds.



this is a indicative average, supposing we encounter as many class G as class GS





Let's have a look now on recipes composition, to evaluate feasibility

harvested supreme
r.misu : 8, r.plac : 8
looted excellent :
r.misu : 6, r.plac : 10
harvested excellent :
r.misu : 4, r.plac : 6

r.misu : sadichi/weebil, vispa, wikkah
r.plac : cetra, naka/lector, wikkah

Cetra is a big kipee form 250 primes root but easy to hunt because its walk-around is limited and close to teleport altars.
Placio's recipe asks for more materials but not the most uncommon.

As in former match it is on supreme repartition that we have a difference
r.misu : 8 surpreme materials of 5 different kind, of maxiumum quantity 2 each.
r.plac : 8 surpreme materials of 3 different kind, whose 6 moon resins.

For a same use, Placio's recipe would last 17.2% extra time. If Misugi's armor would last 12 seasons, it would be 14 for Placio's.
However the same phenomenon will occurs than Misugi/Ingfarah match if we compare the number of armor potentialy produced per season. The repartition proposed by Misugi is still to our eyes the best guarantee on feasibility.

Résultat du concours royal pour une armure lourde matis
 
Le jury, composé de serae Zendae et de ser Erminantius (1), c'est longuement penché sur les recettes des candidats afin d'en étudier les qualités et les défauts.
 
Après une longue délibération, où il a était comparé sous plusieurs angles les recettes, le jury a finalement réussi à les départager, bien que ce fut très difficiles, au vu des qualités différentes de chacune des recettes.
 
Le classement pour la meilleure Petite recette est le suivant:
 
Premier : ser Misugi
Deuxième : ser Placio
Troisième : ser Ventron

En conclusion nous félicitons tout particulièrement ser Misugi qui a remporté le concours sur les deux recettes. Nous félicitons également tous les finalistes et nous remercions tous les participants à ce concours. Le jury remercie également serae Natala pour son aide sur la confection des morceaux d'armure.

Nous invitons ser Misugi serae Ingfarah, ser Placio et ser Ventron à venir recevoir leur récompense au cours de la prochaine cours de la Karae.
La Karae remettra 

6 lots a ser Misugi
2 lots a ser Ventron
1 lot à serae Ingfarah
1 lot à ser Placio

1 lot donne droit à 100 matieres de choix ou 10 matiéres excellentes

NB : Nous conseillons très fortement aux invités de se renseigner sur les us et coutume de la cours de la Karae afin que tout se passe pour le mieux.

(1) absence prolongé de ser Smoker

Thank you, congratulations to you Placio :)
And congratulations to all!
Thank you to the organizers!

Another detailed report very interesting reading.
I imagine that the final decision had to be hard to take, both large as small recipe.
I will not miss the appointment with the Karae.

Deux lucios en souvenir de la soirée "récompenses".
Merci encore aux organisateurs !
