The Armourer's craft is all about skillfully shaping metal into the various forms of protective gear. It is brother to the Weaponsmith skill and related to Tinkering.

Overview

Crafting metal armour is performed with an armourers hammer on an anvil with smelted ingots.

Raw Materials

Smelting Ingots

Ingots can be smelted from ore by a miner / metallurgist who are also required to dig the ore out of a mountain.

Types of Ingots

There are five types of metal ingots that can be smelted by a miner / metallurgist and then forged into armour:

  • ordinary
  • copper
  • silver
  • gold
  • blackrock

Note: vampyric and venomous ingots cannot be forged into armour, these are the exclusive province of the Weaponsmith.

How to make tinted Ingots

Blackrock ingots are made by alchemically treating the raw ore with various ingredients before it gets smelted into ingots. More on treating and alchemy here.

Crafting Items

Use (u) an armourers hammer on an anvil to craft items from available ingots in your inventory. Use a tinted armourers hammer on an anvil to craft tinted items. There is a skill premium required to craft tinted items.

A skilled armourer can make a full set of metal armour like plate mail, helm, gauntlets, greaves and boots. Due to the variable skill involved the armourer must make each piece separately and a novice must start with the smaller, simpler items first.

Item List

Here is a list of items that can be made from ingots of the appropriate type along with their minimum skill requrements:

How to create tinted armourers hammers

All of the tinted armourers hammers are made by tinkers from a regular ingot and a pole, tinted ingots are not required.
