How to get Crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes

Silver Legguards is a high-tier armor piece that protects your legs and reduces the damage you take. It is the third piece in the Silver armor set and requires Combat 25 to equip.

All armor is crafted by Kaziir the Armoursmith in The Dunes through Smithing and uses ingots plus desert materials from Emberstone.

How to get

Craft at Kaziir the Armoursmith's house in The Dunes. Grimjaw's anvil in Frostmere and Harun the Forgewright's forge in Dunes West handle repairs only — Kaziir sells plate, he does not take it back.

Requirement Details
Smithing level 28
Combat to wear 25
Ingredients 75 Silver Ingot + 70 Molten Rock + 25 Brute Horn
Crafting time ~30 seconds (25-second cooldown between crafts)
Durability 2,500 hits taken

Stats

Stat Value
Damage reduction 4.5%
Durability per hit 1 point per hit taken
Repair cost 60% of the full forging cost (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled by durability loss (minimum 1 of each material)

Damage Reduction

Silver Legguards reduces the damage you take from mobs and other players by 4.5%. Armor no longer widens the shield pool; it reduces damage instead:

  • Shield pool: fixed at 100 points regardless of armor; restore it with Shield Potions
  • Full Silver set: 15% damage reduction (4 pieces)
  • Full Iron set: 10% damage reduction (4 pieces — comparison)

Wearing no armor at all is risky: King Scorpia, the Venomweaver cave hazards, Giant Scorpions and Magma Brutes all deal 1.5× damage to unarmored players. Wearing any armor piece removes that penalty and applies your damage reduction instead.

Armor Set

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

Piece Smithing req Damage reduction Cost
Silver Helmet 24 3% 80 silver ingot + 60 molten rock + 15 brute horn
Silver Body Armor 30 6% 100 silver ingot + 80 molten rock + 25 brute horn
Silver Legguards 28 4.5% 75 silver ingot + 70 molten rock + 25 brute horn
Silver Boots 26 1.5% 40 silver ingot + 20 molten rock + 10 brute horn

Wearing multiple pieces adds their reductions. A full Silver set (all 4 pieces) gives 15% damage reduction total — 1.5× the protection of a full Iron set.

Durability & Repair

Silver Legguards has 2,500 durability. Every hit you take (while wearing it) costs 1 durability point. Every worn piece loses a point on the same hit, so a set wears down together — wearing more pieces never makes any single piece break sooner. A piece that reaches 0 durability breaks and is destroyed, so repair it before then.

Repair at Grimjaw in Frostmere or Harun the Forgewright in Dunes West:

  • Repair cost: 60% of the full forging bill (ingots, Molten Rock and Brute Horn), scaled to durability lost, each material rounded up (minimum 1 per repair)
  • Example: At 50% durability loss, repair costs about 23 silver ingots + 21 Molten Rock + 8 Brute Horns

Trading & Marketplace

Silver Legguards can only be listed on the Marketplace when undamaged (100% durability):

  • Damaged pieces cannot be listed on the marketplace
  • Player-to-player trades accept damaged pieces, and the piece keeps its durability
  • Repair first at any blacksmith (Grimjaw or Harun), then it lists as new
  • Undamaged pieces are valuable and fully tradeable

Armor Tiers

Silver is the highest armor tier. Comparison to Iron:

Tier Pieces Damage reduction (full set) Combat req Smithing req (legs)
Iron Head, body, legs, feet 10% 15 18
Silver Head, body, legs, feet 15% 25 28

Silver armor gives 1.5× the damage reduction but requires significantly higher progression — Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore, and Smithing 28 to craft legguards.

Crafting Materials

Material Amount Source
Silver Ingot 75 Smelt 4 Silver Ore + 8 Coal per ingot at Grimjaw's or Harun's forge (Silver Ore needs Mining 20)
Molten Rock 70 Lava fishing at Emberstone with the Fire-Resistant Fishing Rod (one per catch)
Brute Horn 25 Kill Magma Brute at Emberstone (1 in 5 drop rate)

Silver Legguards is the second-most expensive piece to craft in the Silver set, requiring substantial farming and resources.

Progression Gate

To craft Silver Legguards, you must reach Mining 20 to gather Silver Ore and Smithing 28:

Milestone Details
Mining 5 Unlock Iron Ore gathering
Mining 20 Unlock Silver Ore gathering (rocks on the Dunes maps; a forged pickaxe is needed there)
Smithing 28 Craft Silver Legguards (second-highest Silver armor requirement)

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

Combat Considerations

Scenario Details
Damage reduction Reduces incoming damage from mobs and players by 4.5% (15% with the full Silver set)
Unarmored penalty With no armor worn at all, King Scorpia, Venomweaver cave hazards, Giant Scorpions and Magma Brutes deal 1.5× damage
Heat immunity Does NOT protect from The Dunes heat (heat ignores armor and shield)
Stun resistance Armor alone does not reduce stun duration
Durability drain Every worn piece loses 1 durability per hit taken; a piece at 0 breaks and is destroyed
PvP readiness Silver Legguards is part of the complete end-game PvP loadout
Relics Qadim the Relicweaver can weave a Relic onto this piece, worn or carried
Death Worn armor is lost on death: it drops into your tombstone in the Wilderness, Emberstone or the Dunes, and is destroyed outright in the Glade Cave
