So tell me about Studded armor and LMC

depends on your template
Non-medable Studded/Hide/Bone/Stone Armor grants +3% LMC for each piece (up to 5 pieces), which bypass the usual 40% LMC cap. So with 5 pieces of non-medable Bone Armor with 8% LMC imbued on each, you'll have a total of 55% LMC. Studded/Hide/Bone/Stone Armor also grants a moderate amount of Stamina protection, meaning when you get hit for damage, you lose less Stamina from it.
Non-medable Metal Armor, such as Ringmail, Chainmail, Platemail (including Samurai), and Dragonplate grant only +1% LMC for each piece (up to 5 pieces) for a total LMC cap of 45%. However, Metal Armor grants heavy Stamina Protection, meaning you can take some pretty heavy hits and barely lose any Stamina from it.
Having high Hit Stamina Leech on your weapon mostly negates the need for Metal Armor, unless you're consistently fighting really heavy hitters, such as the melee Captains down in Blackthorn's Dungeon. The Macer Captain in particular can annihilate your Stamina if you're not wearing 5 Metal pieces.

the more details you give about your "warrior" (kind of a vague term unfortunately) the more detailed the answers you will get. for most studded is the way to go
i changed over a couple of my warriors a couple years ago and wow do i like the 55 LMC!
nothing better then spamming chiv spells and only paying like 2 mana per spell!
i also custom made a suit for my disco tamer who has no med or focus, made him a 55 LMC suit with 30 (+) MR on it and now he can actually cast spells and keep his mana pool full.
was a real game changer for me.
if i had to say the 1 thing that was added into the game over the last couple years that really changed the way i play id say it was that suit i made for my disco tamer.
i can pretty much chain cast G-Heal on my pet and my mana stays full.
same with my thrower, i can chain cast con weapon and my mana dosnt drop.

Can i mix studded and bone?? if it is mage armor does it cancel the effect?
you can mix studded and bone, no problem and of course mage armor will cancel the effect. would be kinda op if it didn't. you can get rid of the mage armor mod though by paying the mage guild master some money (not sure if it is also 250k per item on prodo)
OK my crafter is only around 110 in imbuing (120 smith and tailor) is he even capable of crafting a set ? what would the steps be ?
Make plain leather exceptional studded pieces. About 100 of each.
Then try to put what you want on them.

Ok do i use POF before i reforge or after? can i imbue after i reforge ?
POF after reforge or the Durability will drop anyway.
POF what is good. You can imbue after reforge but use the planner. some things may drop.
Can not POF after imbue.

Geez you with all these links with information and math can't i just expect Pawain to show up at my door on Origin and make me shiny studded things
This guy wears studded crafted items except for the helm and a leaf chest.
Since you can not make a studded helm. Use a high resist helm to make up for the low resists on the crafted stuff.
Any melee toon with a WW weapon works great on the first two levels of the Khaldun spawn. Then I switch to the tamer.

Which sewing kit used here and what options?

The issue I have though is for my sampires I usually use elves and the woodland armor because you can enhance it and get HCI and DCI on it that I can't imbue or get elsewhere. :-/
That was enhanced with Horned. The original had low fire.
my lack of a finished imbuer/craftsman couple with the total lack of anything for sale on Origin leads me to believe a trip to Atl is in my future...

Same... I've been farming mats on my archer, t-hunts as well. Khaldun was a nice welcome for taint, corruption, and mane, but like you, it looks like a trip from atl to origin is in my not so distant future. Not that I necessarily mind that, we moved here from GL knowing this was how it was going to be. But I must say I love the folks on origin, everyone has been wicked nice so it makes those trips a little less painful.

so, im cheap and easy..... wait a sec, that didnt come out right.....
im cheap!
and i like doing things easy.
there, thats better.
so when i made my suit i just crafted normal studded pieces and then just imbued them.
only one i reforged was the bone helm, and that was to get try to get a little more MR on it, which i did, i got 3.
but i just made the pieces, then imbued the stuff i needed on them.
since each piece of studded gives you 3% more LMC per pieces it adds up.
so my suit has 48LMC on it with just the LMC, but the cap is 40, so the studded pieces add 3% each so x5 pieces gives me 55 LMC.
when i made the suit my goal was to get MR 2 or more per piece.
so as it sits the suit is 28MR.
it was higher but i just swapped out my ring this week because i was getting tired of repairing my ring ever day.
usually my ring has 4MR on it so that gets the suit to 32MR.
3/5 casting down to 2/5 with weapon.
102 LRC.
SDI i dont worry about because im a tamer.
like i said i can run the disco mastery with no issues or chain heal my pet with no issues and i have 0 med and 0 focus.
now, for a different suit my scribe has a different suit that is all legendary artifacts and it has 4MR per piece.
so the difference being cost.
the suit i made didnt cost me anything other then the ingredients i had to farm or get to imbue.
the suit for my scribe i had to get from killing high end bosses over time.
but the scribe suit is medable so its capped at 40LMC.
im sure you could source out non medable LMC studded pieces if you shopped and kept your eyes open.
but its just so much easier to just make one.
takes like half an hour and the suit will last you years.
