Elven Gold Armor
This guide shows everything you need to make the Elven Gold armour set: Elven Gold Boots, Elven Gold Tassets, Elven Gold Platebody and Elven Gold Helmet. It starts with one total list of everything to gather, then breaks it down piece by piece with the steps in order. Every amount, level and source on this page is worked out from the game data.
About the Elven Gold set
The set is Elven Gold Boots, Elven Gold Tassets, Elven Gold Platebody and Elven Gold Helmet. You need the Elven Gold Schematics in your inventory when you assemble each piece. You only need 1, because they are not used up. Every piece also uses Essence, and the boots, tassets and platebody each need a cloth line from the Tailor Stall.
How to read this guide
1. Look at the Total gathering list. It adds up everything for one of each piece in the set. 2. Then follow Step by step for each piece. The gathering steps come first, then the smelting, forging, buying and assembling steps in the order you do them. 3. The Needs column is the skill level you need for that step. 4. Each piece is counted on its own, so leftover parts from one piece are not used for another. Where a craft makes more than one part, the step says how many crafts to do. Anything marked Y in the Members column is for members only.

Tips
Gold Dust can be smelted instead of Gold Ore, at the same amount. See the Mining guide for where to find both.
The cloth line is bought at the Tailor Stall in Valen Gate. You hand over the Elven Cloth plus some Coins, so keep the Coins in your inventory as well.
The Elven Gold Schematics are found in the Elven Chest.
A hammer is needed to use the anvil. The Smithing guide has the hammers, gloves and gems that make crafting faster.
