Scale Band is a Head Armor made of monster scales in Dragon's Dogma 2. The band can be worn by the Thief, Mage, Sorcerer, Mystic Spearhand and Warfarer Vocations. It also gives tiny resistances to Ice Damage, Frostbite Debilitation and Drenched Debilitation.

A forehead guard fashioned after the manner of monster scales. The slight chill of the metal is certain to improve the wearer's concentration.

Smithing Upgrade Guide

Every piece of armour can be enhanced three times at an armoury or smithy, each time for gold and the materials listed below, and a fourth time with Wyrmfire. Any armoury or smithy works on weapons and armour alike. Each smith works in one style, and you can mix styles from one level to the next.

Vermundian raises every attribute moderately. Armouries and smithies in Vermund offer it, such as Roderick's Smithy and Bjorn's Armory in Vernworth.
Elven raises Magick and Magick Defense greatly, Strength and Defense only a little. Grisha's Armory in Sacred Arbor offers it.
Battahli raises Strength and Defense greatly, Magick and Magick Defense only a little. Armouries in Battahl offer it, such as Awaran's Arms and Bodas's Armory in Bakbattahl.
Dwarven raises Knockdown Power and Knockdown Resistance. Sara at Brokkr's Smithy offers it after Steeled Resolve, Blazing Forge, and Gautstafr after Put a Spring in Thy Step.
Wyrmfire halves the weight and gives a further boost once the first three enhancements are done. The Dragonforged at Bay Wayside Shrine takes payment in Wyrmslife Crystals instead of gold.

The tables below give the cost, materials and result of every level for each style.

Taking Scale Band to level 3 costs 2,515 G in all, whichever style you choose. Wyrmfire then costs 5 Wyrmslife Crystals.
