Armorsmithing is mostly a free-form crafting discipline as it has very few set recipes. Armorsmithing allows you to craft custom armor to suit your ketucari's needs. Armor helps your ketucari gain access to higher level zones and can increase their other statistics by using gems. Some nifty breeding and other gameplay items may also be found here!
Creating Custom Armor
To craft custom armor, you will need the following components:
1. A base material (ore)
2. A gem (at least one)
3. Leather scraps
GENERAL GUIDELINES
1. Your first step will be collect enough raw materials from activities to build the base for your armor! Leather scraps and copper can be found in beginner zones. Iron can be found in medium zones, while mithril is found in harsh zones. Garonite is only dropped by domain guardians and world bosses. For visuals, see the Ingredient Codex.Base attributes are as follows:
• Mithril (+1300 Armor) - 25 Mithril Ore required to craft
• Garonite (+1700 Armor) - 20 Garonite Ore required to craft (legendary armorsmiths only)
3. Save your scraps! Each armor set, no matter the base material quality, requires 10 Leather Scraps to craft in order to make the straps. These will be deducted from your hoard along with everything else when you submit the crafting request.
4. Once you have all of your ingredients together, submit your crafting request via our website (the link on how to do this can be found above).
There is no failure chance with crafting, so as soon as your request is processed the materials will be removed from your bank account and exchanged for the armor. You are free to then sell it or apply it to your ketucari via The Hoard. Once applied, armor is soulbound to that ketucari and will be destroyed if removed or swapped out for different armor.
Cloth base armor is a little different from higher-tier armor. Cloth armor has the extra bonus of allowing free access to EITHER Antikutan or the Gusting Cavern depending on the materials used to craft it. Herbs and bamboo (heavy draped cloth) for Antikutan, or Glass (Eye protection) for the Gusting Caverns. While cloth armor allows access to these zones, it does not qualify as an exploration skill and thus does not allow access to treasure chest rolls. When crafting cloth armor with a beginner armorsmith, only low-tier gem slots can be used. An advanced or legendary armorsmith is required for medium and high gem slots or legendary gem slots, respectively.
