== Description ==

Plate armour smithing is the craft of creating and improving [[plate armour]] for battle. Skill level influences the success ratio and the quality of the outcome. Plate armour is created using [[metal lump|metal lumps]]. This is also the skill used to create [[dragon scale armour]].

== Notes ==

*Wearing your plate armour smithing title gives a bonus while improving armour items, including barding.

*For information about making [[steel]], see the [[metallurgy]] page.

*Use your lowest quality lump for the creation of items.

*You can sort your lumps either by using containers or by using the "sort by quality" button on the forge's inventory menu. Using a lump more than about 10 quality higher than what you are improving can be wasteful. However using a lump only a few quality higher than the target lowers the chance to succeed, especially at higher qualities.

*For efficient grinding, [[Plate_gauntlet|gauntlets]] use the least amount of metal to make or improve. [[Great_helm|Great Helms]] use more lump but are far more useful and easier to sell or trade.
