Notice: Cultural tradeskills were recently given a major overhaul. Much of this information may be outdated.
We would like to have this guide on the wiki. The wiki article about Dragons of Norrath Cultural Armor can be found here. If you have any information to contribute, you can do so directly if you desire. This is an overview of how Cultural Armor quests in Dragons of Norrath work. For more detailed information related to individual races, use the quest links on the lefthand side of this writeup. This cultural armor works in tiers (note the indicated levels are requirements for getting the tasks from quest NPCs; you can make the low-stat armor at earlier levels, but not the augmentations): First Tier: Simple -Tradeskill components obtainable at 30th level. Second Tier: Ornate -Tradeskill components obtainable at 40th level. Third Tier: Intricate -Tradeskill components obtainable at 60th level. Fourth Tier: Elaborate -Tradeskill components obtainable earlier than 70th level, but you won't be able to get the task for the required book until then. There are plate, chain, leather, and silk armor combines. Plate and chain is done through smithing in cultural forges. Leather and silk is done through tailoring in cultural sewing kits. Note that mold and pattern combines produce an eight-slot backpack full with the following items: 20x Chest Slot 20x Legs Slot 20x Arms Slot 20x Head Slot 20x Hands Slot 20x Feet Slot 40x Wrist Slot Navigation: The Books | Armor Production | Symbol (Aug) Production | Trivials | Appendix (Links found in this guide go to a same-page appendix.) ..........................................................................................................................
