Specialized armor fitting

Specialized armor fittings, which are sold in Warrior Guild workshops are required. There are five quality tiers of fittings:

Common: Usable at Rank 1
Sturdy: Usable at Rank 2
Fine: Usable at Rank 3
Superb: Usable at rank 4
Masterwork: Usable at rank 5

If the armor is flared or provides a bonus to AS or TD, it requires sturdy fittings or better.

If the armor being adjusted is padded, the quality of the fittings required is:

Common: May not be used with padded armor.
Sturdy: May be used with up to fairly padded armor.
Fine: May be used with up to decently padded armor.
Superb: May be used with up to very heavily padded armor.
Masterwork: No limit on level of padding.

Specialized armor fittings cost 3750 per rank for plate, less 250 per rank for each armor class below plate. The quality of the fittings influences the duration of the protection. For example, fine fittings on plate cost 11250 and last 40 hits.
