Mithril Armor
This guide shows everything you need to make the Mithril armour set: Mithril Platelegs, Mithril Platebody and Mithril 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 Mithril set
The set is Mithril Platelegs, Mithril Platebody and Mithril Helmet. The platebody and platelegs each need a cloth line bought from the Tailor Stall in Valen Gate. The cloth for it drops from Elves.
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
In a Dwarven Furnace, Mithril Ore smelts into a bar on its own with no Coal. The tables above use the normal Furnace. The Dwarven Furnace guide explains how to use it.
The cloth line is bought at the Tailor Stall in Valen Gate. You hand over the cloth plus some Coins, so keep the Coins in your inventory as well.
A hammer is needed to use the anvil. The Smithing guide has the hammers, gloves and gems that make crafting faster.
