Lore
“Behold my powerful Sword of Vanquishing!”
“Err. It’s broken.”
“Oh. I didn’t notice that.”
Nothing is permanent in Britannia, least of all your weapons and armor. Through battle after battle, a dent in your shield grows weaker and weaker until one day you find yourself facing a daemon wondering why your shield just crumbled to dust. With a studied background in Arms Lore, you can keep a close eye on your gear and know in advance when it’s time to visit your local blacksmith for a repair.
Active Use
To use arms lore you can either set a Macro, take out the Skill Gump Icon, or press the blue button next to its name in the Skill Gump. Doing so will bring up a targetting cursor and a system message asking, "What item do you wish to get information about?"
Target the piece of weapon or armor you want to learn about. There are two possible outcomes:
- Failure - A system message says, "You are not certain..."
- Success - A system message says, "You study the item in an attempt to learn more about its craftsmenship and use."
