Effect	+10 shield, 1,000 durability
Cost / Recipe
How to get	Forged at Frostmere or Dunes West

Silver Boots is a high-tier armor piece that protects your feet and adds to your shield pool. It is the fourth and final piece in the Silver armor set and requires Combat 25 to equip.

All armor is crafted at the smithy through Smithing and uses ingots plus desert materials from Emberstone.

How to get

Forge at Grimjaw's anvil in Frostmere or Harun the Forgewright's forge in Dunes West.

Requirement	Details
Smithing level	24
Combat to wear	25
Ingredients	2 Silver Ingot + 20 Molten Rock + 4 Brute Horn
Crafting time	~30 seconds (roughly 60-second cooldown between smiths)
Durability	1,000 uses

Stats

Stat	Value
Shield bonus	+10
Durability per hit	1 point per hit taken
Repair cost	~60% of forge ingot cost, scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 ingot)

Shield System

Silver Boots adds +10 to your shield pool. Shield is now a points pool (not discrete charges):

• **Base shield:** 100 points (with no armor)
• **Full Silver set:** 140 points (+40 from 4 pieces)
• **Full Iron set:** 120 points (+20 from 4 pieces — comparison)

Shield absorbs damage before your HP is touched and does not regenerate on its own. Restore it with Shield Potions.

Armor Set

Silver Boots is one of four armor slots in the Silver tier:

Piece	Smithing req	Shield bonus	Cost
Silver Helmet	24	+10	4 silver ingot + 22 molten rock + 4 brute horn
Silver Body Armor	28	+10	6 silver ingot + 26 molten rock + 4 brute horn
Silver Legguards	26	+10	5 silver ingot + 24 molten rock + 4 brute horn
Silver Boots	24	+10	2 silver ingot + 20 molten rock + 4 brute horn

Wearing multiple pieces adds their shield bonuses. A full Silver set (all 4 pieces) gives +40 shield total — double the protection of a full Iron set.

Durability & Repair

Silver Boots has 1,000 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. A full Silver set (4 pieces) wears 4 times as fast in wall-clock terms since all pieces lose durability simultaneously.

Repair at any smithy:

• **Repair cost:** ~60% of forge ingot cost, scaled to durability lost (minimum 1 ingot per repair)
• **Example:** At 50% durability loss, repair costs ~1 silver ingot

Trading & Marketplace

Silver Boots can only be sold or traded when **undamaged** (100% durability):

• Damaged pieces cannot be listed on the marketplace
• Damaged pieces cannot be player-traded
• Repair first at any blacksmith (Grimjaw or Harun), then it lists as new
• Undamaged pieces are valuable and fully tradeable

Silver Boots is the cheapest piece to craft in the Silver set — a good starting point for completing end-game armor.

Armor Tiers

Silver is the highest armor tier. Comparison to Iron:

Tier	Pieces	Shield per piece	Combat req	Smithing req (feet)
Iron	Head, body, legs, feet	+5	15	16
Silver	Head, body, legs, feet	+10	25	24

Silver armor gives double the shield bonus per piece but requires significantly higher progression — Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore, and Smithing 24 to craft boots.

Crafting Materials

Material	Amount	Source
Silver Ingot	2	Smelt 60 Silver Ore + 60 Coal at any furnace (requires Mining 20)
Molten Rock	20	Fish at Emberstone lava pits (common drop)
Brute Horn	4	Kill Magma Brute at Emberstone (1 in 5 drop rate)

Silver Boots is the cheapest Silver armor piece to craft, requiring only 2 ingots. It's often the first Silver piece players complete alongside the Helmet.

Progression Gate

To craft Silver Boots, you must reach Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore and Smithing 24:

Milestone	Details
Mining 5	Unlock Iron Ore gathering
Mining 20	Unlock Silver Ore gathering (Frostmere and Dunes West)
Smithing 24	Craft Silver Boots and Silver Helmet (easiest Silver pieces)

Silver armor represents true end-game progression — a serious multi-hour farming commitment.

Combat Considerations

Scenario	Details
Shield absorption	Takes hits before your HP is touched
Heat immunity	Does NOT protect from The Dunes heat (bypasses shield)
Stun resistance	Armor alone does not reduce stun duration
Durability drain	Full set (4 pieces) drains durability 4× faster than individual pieces
PvP readiness	Silver Boots is part of the complete end-game PvP loadout
