Vet Larper looking to get back into it, considering KR. Got some questions

If you started attending in July, came to August, but had to miss september, because it conflicted with something, you are able to 'buy' that September event and get the build for it.  It is intended (for those with the means to pay for events they miss) to help keep from 'falling behind' due to real life conflicts.

As far as Build goes
www.knightrealms.com/index.php?option=co...mid=107#EarningBuild

explains that for your first few events you earn a good amount of build (base 4) which as time goes on widdles down to 1 base build per event.

There are other ways to maximize the build you earn... when you get service points
www.knightrealms.com/index.php?option=co...iew&id=56&Itemid=188
you can convert them over to build (2 build per event for the first 9 events, then 1 build per event for each event after) at a rate of 100 service points buys 1 build.

In addition you can earn RP points from good role-playing seen and appreciated by a RP marshal.

You can also earn lifestyle build through the trade system.

And finally each event you can purchase 1 build

Thanks for the clarifications and the links. That helps alot. I plan to come to July, but I can't stay the whole event. So I will put in time to NPC and try to pc. I hoped to NPC a full event, but since I can't commit, I'll do a lil of both

Does KR accept paypal for payments? I guess I should send in payment soon?

Also, I noticed a skill - Armor Efficiency. I dont't see it on any profession lists. Is it some higher list skill that can't be learned out of the gate?

So any suggestion on who can give me some guidance on my armor kit? I know nothing official can be said till someone see's it in person, but I'm hoping to tailor it as needed to fit armor rules. I've been reworking it to let out some waistline and redo some parts. It would be great if someone on staff that could give it a look over via email would give me feedback. I'd be happy to jump on the phone too, I bet a 5 minute call with the pics I'd send would give me a solid answer on what it would (or won't) qualify as. I just don't want to have to redo all the work after the fact, but I imagine I will in some capacity anyway lol.

Thanks again all for the help.

I would not worry too much about the armor ahead of time.  Take it to a smith IG and RP it, taking it fromthere.  Nothing lost, since you already have it.  Letting out the waistline...  Thjere is a lot to be said for playing a priest who does not wear armor. 

Well if you saw my armor project you might think different lol. I think a quick look with some feedback would save me a ton of work after the fact. I'm in the process of doing a major overhaul of it, so knowing just a few things in advance will help me alot. I might shelve a few items that won't help for instance, or continue reworking them if I know they will.

I know I won't get anything official till the event, but I'd still like to connect with someone and get a comment or two on what I've got Trust me, its not just simply chainmail or leather or plate, heh. I've got a mashup of all of it and in most cases at least two types in many sections. If I could post pics I would. I do have pics in my 'work in progress' section of my photobucket but again, would love to just quickly connect with someone who can take a quick look and give me some feedback.

Cheers!

Your leather work looks awesome
