Arms Lore Question

[Little Owl]

Hello,

I was wondering if arms lore contributes anything to crafted weapon and armor quality here.

I found this on a guide site and was not certain whether it applied:

Arms Lore was no longer considered a "Useless" skill as of Publish 44 which was released in April of 2007. It now compliments the crafting of armor and weapons in the following ways.

• Gives a +1% Damage Increase bonus to all exceptionally crafted weapons for every 20 skill points (up to +5% at Grandmaster).
• Gives +1% in a random resistance on exceptionally crafted armor for every 20 skill points (up to +5% at Grandmaster)
  • these bonuses apply to all crafted weapons (metal or wood) and armors (leather, metal, and wood);
  • these bonuses stack, or combine, with properties imparted by Runic Tools

Arms Lore does not give any crafting bonuses on Hybrid.

However, it's not a useless skill! Since you can't just mouse-over equipment to see its durability, you'll have to use Arms Lore for that. (When Publish 44 was released on OSI using Arms Lore to see durability was no longer necessary.) Arms Lore is also used for the disarm wrestling move.

Thank you. I appreciate it.
