Imbued Northman Armor

[audie38]

Was this armor introduced prior to Kunark? Don't wanna start a Barbie & find out I can't make this stuff due to the server I'm on doesn't use anything as yet after Kunark. Thank you

I believe Imbued armor sets came out with Velious.

The earliest patch not to reference Imbued armor is 2001-02-21:
"Changed the name of the smithed Enchanted Cabilis Scale armor to Imbued Cabilis Scale armor for naming convention reasons."

The 2001-04-17 patch notes mention:
"Removed Gem component from the following spells. They will now only require the metal components. These are the Enchant spells for making cultural armor.
Enchant Velium
Enchant Mithril
Enchant Adamantite
Enchant Steel
Enchant Brellium"

Upon further thought, I believe this is when Ornate Chain and Imbued armor sets came out (After Kunark - just before Velious)

The 2000-09-19 patch message says:
"Many of the trade skills in game have received massive enhancements, including dozens of new craftable items, new fishing and foraging items, and other things to be discovered once in game.
In addition, trade-skill specialization has been implemented. Players will be able to exceed 200 points of skill in one of the generally available tradeskills. "

Since this patch was not tied to a major release, the availablility of the armor on the progression server is iffy.
