Armor Enhancement

Crafting Sigil

Each Crafting Component used, will add it's inherent Material Crafting Bonus to the crafted item. You can also add Masterwork modifications (bonuses) to Armor. And finally you can add Enchantments to armor to add further bonuses. Chest armor pieces however can have a Gem or Imbued Gem socketed into the chest pieces, which offers additional bonuses.

Example

For example, crafting Epic Plate Chest Armor you can use 8 Copper Sheets, 4 White Iron Bindings and 2 Supple Leather Straps. Each of these Crafting Component item will add it's Material Crafting Bonus to the crafted Epic Plate Chest Armor.
