The Basics of Smithed Armor
Armor can be best made by making a template and then working that template to get the results you want. The template itself has little use, and often will not even fit properly, but with these templates you will be able to make many different useful pieces of
| armor.
To make these armors you will need to find components through the world. For the metal armor you will need tin ore. You will need crude coal to work with tin.
Chain and plate armor templates are created with
|
| the same trend in the items needed, but the skill set is of course totally different along with the items needed. Many of the metals would 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.
