Crafting recipe
Crafted at the Blacksmith · Instant.
Since 1.0 the recipe has no unlock item: “Now, every time the Flame gets upgraded, the armor sets for the following crafting tier get automatically unlocked.” Quantities below are the pre-1.0 wiki recipe; 1.0 armor recipes “now need fewer resources overall”.
Enshrouded 1.0
“The new max level for players is now 50. Accordingly, the max level for equipment is now 55 when fully upgraded.” The level, armor and effect values on this page are the pre-1.0 wiki figures; 1.0 rebuilt armor and we have not matched these values to it yet.
