The Full Metal Forearm Armor is a forged steel guard strapped over one forearm. It is a step up from the plain Metal Forearm Armor.
Its strength is complete cover. It stops every bite and every scratch on the forearm it sits on. It also turns aside some gunfire and keeps the arm a little warm. The cost is small: a slight drop in attack speed and a little discomfort.
One piece guards one forearm. The same item can be moved to the other arm through its inventory option. The armour is never found in the world. It is made at a forge by a skilled smith who also knows some Tailoring. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The armour covers a single forearm, the right one by default. An inventory option moves it to the left forearm, and another moves it back. Two pieces are needed to cover both arms.
On the forearm it guards, it stops every bite and every scratch. It also stops about one bullet in five. It adds a little warmth and blocks some wind, which helps on a cold day.
The nearest pieces show what the full steel buys. The Metal Forearm Armor stops 80 percent of bites and 90 percent of scratches. The Scrap Metal Forearm Armor gives that same cover but wears out faster. The Leather Forearm Armor matches this piece on bites and scratches and weighs half as much. The full metal version adds bullet cover, and leather can tear.
It barely slows attacks, by 2 percent on the right arm and 1 percent on the left. It cannot be worn with a watch or bracelet on the same wrist.
Tailoring
The armour is metal and holds up without patching. It has a few points of condition and loses one about every fourth hit. Research Craft on it teaches Assemble Full Metal Forearm Armor and Forge Buckle. When it is worn out, it can be smelted at an Advanced Furnace back into steel.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Full Metal Forearm Armor and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The Full Metal Forearm Armor comes only from crafting. The Assemble Full Metal Forearm Armor recipe needs a Simple Forge or better. It also needs Blacksmithing at level 8 and Tailoring at level 4. The inputs are two small steel sheets, two Leather Strips, two Buckles, heavy thread and five pieces of charcoal. A ball peen hammer, tongs or pliers, a sewing needle and an awl are kept.
Notes
- One item covers one arm, and its inventory option swaps it between left and right.
- It beats the Metal Forearm Armor on bites, scratches and bullets at the same weight.
- Leather Forearm Armor matches its bite cover at half the weight but can tear.
- A watch or bracelet on that wrist has to come off.
- A worn out piece smelts back into steel at an Advanced Furnace.
