Carbonum Plate Armor

Carbonum is the standard crafted armor. Relied upon by players to stay unsquished, and crafters to make their bread and butter. Goodly amounts of what you need, nothing much of what you don't. Whether it's their first choice or their last resort, many will use it at some point in their careers. Its required Abilities are Stamina foremost, then Dexterity. It can be upgraded on two different paths, each exclusive to Omni and Clan players. Upgrade with Clanalizer per piece to a Storm Carbonum Armor and with Omnifier per piece to Omni Carbonum Armor

Tradeskill Process

The combination of items in Anarchy Online works as follows:

Open the tradeskill window (Ctrl-t). Here you can place the two items you want to combine in the left and middle box. The resulting Item will be shown in the right box. Missing skills, or non possible combinations will be shown below. A detailed look on the resulting item is possible with a simple shift-left-click on it. It is recommended to have free inventory space before combining items, else the item will end in the overflow window.

Example for a sleeve:
