Cultural Tradeskills

While a few of the normal Tradeskills are restricted by class, most races of Norrath can also craft recipes in either Blacksmithing or Tailoring unique to their race.

• Humans - Can make Seafarers' Ringmail (Freeport), Field Plate (Freeport), Full Plate (Qeynos) armor sets. These can also be worn by barbarians, erudites, and half elves. Note that humans have TWO cultural forges, one in Freeport and one in Qeynos. They can make armor in both locations, but must use the proper forge with the proper recipe. Use either an Antonican Forge or a Royal Qeynos Forge for the smithing.

Some races have an absurd number of combinations which produce different armor sets. First, some races can produce multiple types of armor e.g "plate" and "chain." For each type, four combinations are possible:

• Non-enchanted, non-imbued (normal)

• Enchanted, non-imbued

• Non-enchanted, imbued

• Enchanted, imbued

Also, some races can use multiple gems to imbue to different deities, which means there could be multiple versions of either of the last two sets on that list.

Not all races get all exhaustive combinations (e.g. dwarven chain has no "non-enchanted,imbued" version).

Finally, many of these armor sets have identical in-game item names for the armor pieces. On the wiki these are separated into different pages. Unfortunately this will wreak some havoc with the item pricings from the auction tracker - prices will be found only on the page where the item name matches the in-game name and these prices could include auctions of different versions of that particular piece.
