Blacksmithing 101: Imperial Plate Set

(First post, introduction will follow)

So, the new armor set aye? The Imperial Plate Armor. Every tankers dream. Problem is just, it does take quite a large amount of Thorium, and Star Ruby's aswell.

I'll add the list over total components, bonus's, skill reg's and level reg's.

And having a full set myself, i can say that just because its STR/STA based only, dosn't mean it can't look good. cause damn, you look like a Real Knight in shining Armor ((Metallic-grey/Blue shades)) Even on orcs *snickers*

Total List of Thorium needed to get all the recipes:

Bracers - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:270) Level Reg: 49
Belt - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:265) Level Reg: 47
Shoulders - 20 Thorium Bar's (BS:265) Level Reg: 47
Boots - 40 Thorium Bar's (BS:295) Level Reg: 54
Helm - 50 Thorium Bar's (BS:295) Level Reg: 54
Chest - 60 Thorium Bar's (BS:300) Level Reg: 55
Leggings - 60 Thorium Bar's (BS:300) Level Reg: 56

Total component list for All recipe's: 270 Thorium Bar's
----------------------------------------
Total component list for manifacture:

Thorium Bar's - 218
Star Ruby's - 8
Citrine's - 2
Rugged Leather - 12
Aquamarine's - 2
----------------------------------------

Total Set Bonus:

2 pieces: +100 Armor.
4 pieces: +28 Attack Power.
6 pieces: +18 Stamina.

Total Stats Bonus:

Armor: 2809
Stamina: 94
Strength: 100
----------------------------------------

So in conclution, if you want the full armor set (which not only looks great but will add a load of DPS/HP to your group tank) you'll need:
488 Bar's in total.

Hope you have enjoyed the first of the "Blacksmithing 101" and I hope to write a couple more of 'em, and ofcause add my 2 cent's of knowledge.
