Hitori's Log to Trimmed Masterwork Armor

[Hitori 55]

I thought it would be fun to make trimmed masterwork armor from scratch (without buying any raw materials). Not huge in the PvM scene right now, so the only thing I'll actually be purchasing is the Malevolent and Prasulic essence required to make the trim for the armor. Without further ado, the checklist:

Ores
720    x copper
720    x tin
1452  x iron ore
1452  x coal
720    x mithril
720    x adamant
1672  x luminite
1452  x rune
720    x orichalcite
720    x drakolith
720    x necrite
720    x phasmatite
1440  x banite
732    x light animica
732    x dark animica

Bars
720 x bronze
720 x iron
732 x steel
720 x mithril
720 x adamant
720 x rune
720 x orikalkum
720 x necronium
720 x bane
732 x elder rune

Misc
12 x praesulic essence
12 x malevolent essence

Gl on making it

Still haven't figured out if I should make it myself, or just buy the ores. Probably just buy the stuff, if it keeps dropping

The trimmed will probably stay relatively close to malevolent / torva armor since you have to break those items down to get the essence for them. But masterwork itself will probably crash. Just making the masterwork armor to say I did it lol

[Loucetios 29]

Yeah, masterwork will probably crash hard, considering the high alch value of elder rune items is only 10k*amount of bars they are made of. Or in other words (after some calculating): I think masterwork will lose like 90% of it's value over time.

Yes, yes. Pls continue.

I barked out a laugh so loud at this I scared my next door neighbour!!

Good luck!

Welp, with some math errors: You only need 600 of each bar, and about 22.5 to 23 hours of work, I've finally smithed my trimmed armor from scratch:

 

I do prefer wearing the crown with it though. There's been a few player suggestions on changing the helm, so hopefully one of the two or three will git picked to replace it.

[ChathMurrpau 168]

too fancy.....great work though!

[Loucetios 29]

Gratz on armour

Congratulations. I felt super relieved when I finished my set. You should know the relief and the joy of finally having done it ! Use it well.
