Smithed Armor Step XVI.
Different materials can
make for sturdier armor.
Stronger metal based armor
can be made using palladium
ore. You will need to use
shiny coal to work with
palladium.
Chain and plate armor
templates are created using
| the same materials. Many of
the metals may seem too
soft or too brittle to be
useful, but metal tempering
chemicals can be used to
adjust the nature of the
metal so that it can be
shaped. This can make
brittle material more
malleable, or make soft
metal have the hardness
necessary to protect. So
|
with the appropriate amount
of ore, heat the metal with
the coal and mix in the
metal tempering chemicals.
While it is still hot shape
it appropriate to either a
chain template pattern or
plate template mold.
For wrist and hand pieces,
you will need one piece of
ore. Boot, helm and arm
| pieces will need twice
that, while leg and chest
pieces will need three
times that of wrist and
hand.
