Arms Lore
Arms Lore is used to determine the condition and wear of armors and weapons. When used on weapons, arms lore will also indicate possible damage range. When used on armor, arms lore will indicate the possible range of protection. Arms lore will not identify magical armor or weapons. Item Identification must be used for this purpose.
To gain Arms Lore, click the blue diamond beside arms lore in the skill gump. Use the targeting cursor on armor or a weapon.
Arms Lore is combined with Wrestling to disarm opponents. A minimum of 80.0 is needed in both skills. No other skill is affected by arms lore.
