Armorer

 is a Production subclass in Elder Tale. It is an advanced subclass derived from the Blacksmith.

Overview
A specialist of armors who crafts, in addition to the basic protections already craftable by the Blacksmith, more specialized and specific armors at the cost of greatly limiting the variety of other items it can create. Its specialization shows in the form of a quality bonus greater than a Blacksmith's (but still depending on the Armorer’s level) when forging armors.

In raids, a high-performance armor, as well as its maintenance and repair, is mandatory. Because Armorers reduce the cost of taking care of armors more than usual, they contribute in their own way to the group’s capacity for long-term battles.

This subclass is scarce in ordinary villages but, as all the subclasses of the Blacksmith line, is essential in Theldesia, mostly for lords and nobles who possess their own army.

Adventurers must first raise their level as Blacksmith before trying the subclass-changing quest. Such process takes a lot of time and assets since this subclass change is long and requires a great amount of material for leveling. However, since there is always a demand for stronger and higher quality armors, many Blacksmiths are ready to take this career path.
