| − | [[Arms Lore]] is a [[skill]] used in the crafting of certain items and to identify the condition of a weapon. However as to the latter use, any character can determine the same information via the item's [[tooltip]].

| − | * '''Professional Title:''' Warrior
| |
| − | * '''Maximum Skill Possible:''' 120

| − | Arms Lore was no longer considered a [[Useless Skill|"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]].

| − | ==Training==
| |
| − | ===Active===
| |
| − | * '''0 - 30''': Unlike several skills, there is no [[New Player Quest|accelerated skillgain quest]] for Arms Lore. Train at an NPC Blacksmith, Armorer, or Warrior Guildmaster
| |
| − | * '''30 - 100''': Activate the skill, see below. It will take roughly 25 hours to reach 100.0 skill. There is a chance to gain every time the skill is used so you do not have to switch your target or move around. Training can be sped up by using a [[Scroll of Alacrity]] and/or training while [[Discordance|discorded]] by a [[Satyr]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Active Use===
| |
| − | To use Arms Lore you can either create a [[Macro]], take out the [[Skill Gump Icon]], or press the blue button next to its name in the [[Skill Gump]]. Doing so will bring up a targeting cursor and a system message asking, "What item do you wish to get information about?"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | One of the easier ways is to set create about 200 [[dagger]]s, secure them in your house as this will be too many too hold, and using Razor, create a macro using Arms Lore, then target a dagger. After this, right click the "Abosolute Target" in your macro, and select "Target by Type." This will randomly select any of the 200 daggers so long as you remain standing near them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Target the piece of weapon or armor you want to learn about. There are two possible outcomes:
| |
| − | * '''Failure''' - A system message says, "You are not certain..."
| |
| − | * '''Success''' - A system message says, "You study the [[Items|item]] in an attempt to learn more about its craftsmanship and use."
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Passive===
| |
| − | Arms Lore also may be gained by constructing weapons or armor, but not shields nor ammunition. There are five skills which allow this: [[Blacksmithing]], [[Tailoring]], [[Carpentry]], [[Tinkering]], and [[Bowcraft]].

| |
| − | ==History==
| |
| − | Arms Lore used to be required in order to preform the [[Wrestling]] special moves [[Stun]] and [[Disarm]]. This requirement was dropped with the [[Ultima Online: Age of Shadows|Age of Shadows]] expansion.
