Masochism

[EmeraldHill]

So, I decided to try to level up my armorer. Could anyone inform me of the things to grind beginning at Armorer 28 all the way to 50? Thanks!

Good luck with that

you can still follow the guide here before the old recipe phase out in the coming patch.

If leveling armorer is your idea of masochism, I suggest you stray away from all other crafts. It is by far the easiest craft to obtain a 50 in (although some might argue alchemy is easier, but I would say it is harder 42+).

Iron squares are ridiculously easy and cheap to create in bulk, and will take you all the way to 50. If you have leatherworking in the low 20's you can make your own buffalo leather straps, which are also extremely easy to make in bulk, or cheap to buy, especially now that they are being phased out and the price of buffalo leather has tanked.

Iron Squares will be gone soon, along with all its related recipes.
And you can no longer make iron nuggets, hence no more influx of new squares.

I'm r33 armorer in a similar boat to you.

I did Silver nuggets - silver squares - silver toes until about r31. Now I've moved on to Iron Celata visors; Iron nuggets -> Iron Squares -> Iron celata visors. I get 610 sp each off of them at r33 and break even on them at the vendor.

I have something like 40 stacks of Iron squares that I saved up to level up from 30-40... dunno what I'd be doing without them.

Yes you can make iron nuggets lol....people are so incredibly confused about the item changes. It baffles me.

I think she means to say, Limonite and Iron Sand do not drop/cannot be gathered anymore, which can still make iron nuggets.

Iron Ore can still be gathered, but the recipe for iron nuggets does not work with Iron Ore.

So after people use up the materials they have now, there will not be any new iron nuggets coming into the market.

I was able to make Iron Nuggets from Iron Ore as Blacksmith. Armorers cannot do it, however.

Theres no way iron celata visor nets you 600+ exp / visor. I'm down to 450 exp at level 31.
