Armorer is a tradeskill in WildStar which can be learned as soon as the character reaches level 10. Armorers generally forge heavy armor, which can only be used by Engineers and Warriors. This tradeskill pairs well with Mining.
An armorer is considered a person or profession that uses materials, which through processing different kinds of ore in order to craft pieces of armor or equipment. The quality of the item is dependant on the quality of the Power Core. Crafted items that are salvaged may provide Power Cores as well as other materials from a previous tier level. Savalged items will also break down into runecrafting supplies. Below are the items required to complete each Tech Tree level. The quantity of items needed are not listed as it varies due to success or failure rate. For more information, see Tradeskill and Circuit Board Crafting .
