Reason: Need new tiers for quality

Please update this article to reflect newly available information. Relevant discussion may be found on the talk page.

Armourer's Scraps are used to increase the quality of armour equipment. As with other quality-increasing currency, consuming an Armourer's Scrap improves the quality based on item level, with a bigger bonus to lower item levels.. The defence values of the armour are improved by the percentage quality, multiplicative with any local defense modifiers on the item.

Quality on armours is also used to improve the chance of gaining sockets or links on an item using an Jeweller's OrbJeweller's OrbStack Size: 20Reforges the number of sockets on an itemRight click this item then left click a socketed item to apply it.

Version history

Armourer's Scrap was previously known as "armour shard".

Version	Changes
3.25.0	Item Quality has been reworked. The rarity of the item is no longer relevant when applying Cartographer's Chisels, Blacksmith's Whetstones, Armourer's Scraps, Glassblower's Baubles, and Catalysts to non-Unique items. Instead, the amount of Quality they provide is now based on the item level. These currencies now apply 20% Quality to very low-level equipment, with this amount reducing as the item level increases.
3.0.0	Act 5 to 10 as well as Epilogue's NPCs also sell Armourer's Scrap. [Undocumented This change was not documented by any official sources. It was discovered through player testing or datamining.]
