Armorsmith is used to make all metal armors and shields at the metalsmith's forge.
Skilled armorsmiths make armor more quickly, and make higher quality armor.
Making one piece of armor grants 30 skill points, regardless of how many metal bars it takes to create. It is more efficient to train your armorsmiths by making helms instead of plate mail. Note that you can use a smelter or magma smelter to melt items made for training back into bars but you only get approximately 1 bar back for every 3 bars used.
Plate mail armor requires three metal bars, chain mail armor and plate greaves require two metal bars. One bar for all other armors.
