Cultural armor and jacinth
 

At some point doesn't cultural armor get changed, where jacinth isn't needed. Making the armor and enchants a lot more logical and valuable for the smith and customer?! It happens before velious, but velious is quickly approaching our Norrath!

Re: your PM. I took another look at the Wiki after another user on here suggested it was take 85 blue diamonds / jacinths to make a full set and I can't see how he got to that number.

I count a maximum of 39/40 blue diamonds (or jacinths, in your case) required to acts as reagents for the enchanter to do his thing when making all the folded metal.

Still kind of a long haul project requiring weeks in Sebilis but maybe not quite as absurdly impossible as I thought it was.

The patch that removed the gem component happened April 2001. Thats about 4 months into Velious

April 17, 2001 Patch Notes

High failure rate, though.

An "Enchanted Folded Brellium Sheet" takes 1 "Enchanted Block of Brellium".
An "Enchanted Block of Brellium" takes 3 "Enchanted Lrg. Brick of Brellium".
3 jacinths are needed for 1 "Enchanted Folded Brellium Sheet".

"Enchanted Brellium Jointing" require 1 jacinth to craft and give you 2 pieces of jointing.

"Enchanted Dwarven Breastplate" need 3 "Enchanted Folded Brellium Sheet" + 1 "Enchanted Brellium Jointing".
So 3x3 + 1x3 = 10 jacinths.

I let you do the math for other pieces.

You need 75 jacinths for a full set if you don't fail any part.

As per wiki "Reagent: Jacinth (Removed with April 17, 2001 patch, 1 month into Warrens Era.)".
That's 4 months into Velious.

That said, I don't understand the OP question.

It's actually 79 total. The guy above is only factoring 1 bracer from what I can tell.

The 85 number factors in 1, and only 1 FAIL, of a moderate (2 sheet) item.

One FULL set, which includes non-visible pieces, equals 13 pieces:

• 24 Folded Sheets total
• 24 x 3 bars = 72 enchanted bars
• 1 jointing per piece = 13 jointing required
• 1 bar makes 2 jointing, so 13 jointing divided by 2 = 6.5 bars
• However you need to round up to 7 bars for jointing if you want the full set
• 79 jacinths total to enchant those bars. 85 would give you 2 spare sheets and the leftover jointing from the round up to possibly create another piece.

you are right I forgot one bracer
