Arms Lore

A skill used to check the quality and condition of weapons and armour. Items predominately crafted by Blacksmithy, yet Bowcraft and Fletching and Carpentry have a number of wooden weapons that can also be checked, yet wooden weapons can not be repaired.

Armor / Shields

Important: The numbers listed under the Armour Rating column represent the combat-effective AR of a particular piece of armour or shield, and will not match the figure displayed in your character's status window. For an explanation of the difference between actual AR and displayed average AR, please look to the Armour section.

Skill Response                                        Armour Rating
"Offers no defense against attackers."           	 0
"Provides almost no protection."                       1-5
"Provides very little protection."              	 6-10
"Offers some protection against blows."                11-15
"Serves as a sturdy protection."                       16-20
