# Armourer's Scrap

An Armourer's Scrap is a currency item that can be used to improve the quality of a piece of armour. Each scrap applied to an armour will increase its quality by up to 5% depending on its rarity.

## Item acquisition

Armourer's Scraps may also be obtained from slain enemies, an Artisan's Strongbox or doing beastcrafting recipe, etc.

## Spending
Armourer's Scraps are most commonly used to increase the quality of armour equipment. As with other quality-increasing currency, consuming an Armourer's Scrap improves the quality of normal items by 5%, magic items by 2%, and rare and unique items by 1%. The defence values of the armour are improved by the percentage quality, additive with any local defense modifiers on the item.

Quality on armours is also used to improve the chance of gaining sockets or links on an item using an [[Jeweller's Orb]] or [[Orb of Fusing]]
. Every 1% quality improves the chance of getting more sockets or links by 1%.[1]

Armourer's Scraps can also be spent by exchanging them for other currency items.

Player can buy a [[Blacksmith's Whetstone]] from Greust (and other town NPC from Act 2 onwards) for 3 Armourer's Scraps.
