Revision 1

The Armor and Clothing Workshop is the dedicated armor-crafting station in Windrose. It is distinct from the Weaponsmith Workshop (which crafts and ascends weapons) and the Upgrading Station (which raises level 1 through 8 gear). Every armor piece is crafted here, not at any other station.

Recipe and Requirements

The roof requirement is shared with the Weaponsmith Workshop: both stations need overhead shelter to function. Most players build both inside a single enclosed structure to share the roof investment.

What You Craft Here

• Every armor piece. Head, chest, gloves, pants, and boots across all rarities

• Clothing cosmetics. Non-combat outfit pieces that display in social interactions at Tortuga

• Bandages. The basic Bandage consumable (1 Coarse Fabric) is typically crafted at the Workbench but alternative pathways exist here too

Workshop Upgrades

The Armor and Clothing Workshop itself supports add-ons that unlock higher-rarity armor. Documented upgrades include:

• Material Rack. Expands the raw-material input list

• Shoemaker's Bench. Recipe: 30 Hardwood + 20 Tanned Leather + 15 Linen Fabric. Unlocks the Boots slot at Rare tier

• Additional mannequin slots. Fully kitting out the workshop with mannequins enables Rare set crafting; without the mannequins, Rare plans remain locked even after purchase from faction Provisioners

Placement Tips

• Share a roof and Bonfire with the Weaponsmith Workshop to minimize base footprint

• Plan space for the Material Rack and Shoemaker's Bench upgrades before placing the workshop; leaving 2-3 tiles of walkable area around the station prevents a later rebuild

• Dismantling at the Disassembly Table refunds all materials at 100%
