Armoursmithing in Beyond Ragnarok is the act of putting resistance to magical affects into armour and shields. This can be done on; breastplates, greaves, vambraces, helmets and shields.
ALL RUNE CRAFTED ARMOUR/SHIELDS LAST ONE YEAR.
Crafting a skill into a piece of armour, or shield requires:
- The Mundane Resources for the item.
- Three Runes of the appropriate level for the skill. One of these Runes needs to be of the appropriate symbol for the skill; known as the Focus Rune. The other two can be of any symbol.
There are three levels of armoursmithing ability, one for each level of Runic magic. The details below will give you an overview of each level, and a link to the additional skills armoursmiths can choose, which enhance their skill in this field.
Below these links is a short write up of how this skill works in the game, plus an example of an item and the laminated card you recieve when you make an item.
