• Dragon Scale Armor was introduced into the game during the first week of Scenerio Four.
• The armor is crafted using the Blacksmithing skill, using a new tool crafted by Tinkers – Dragon Smith Hammer. Materials used are ingots and the newly introduced scales.
• In order to craft Exceptional Scale Armor Leggings and Tunics, you have to craft the item in conjunction with an Ancient Smithing Hammer. Equip the Ancient Smithing Hammer and use the Dragon Smith Hammer from your backpack. Both hammers will take wear.
• Dragon Scale Armour is smeltable, but you only get the ingot portion back. All scales used in the production of the item are lost.
