While the [[Armor]] value of [[Dragon]]s grows with each [[Dragon Adventurer|adventure level]] it gains, as well as by consuming many [[:Category:Hoard Item|hoard items]]. [[Dragon]]s can also wear scales on top of their skin to gain more armor. While not a complete equivalent to [[Biped]] [[armor]] it does serve a similar function.

==Basic info==
All scales provide a base amount of defensive [[Armor]]. In addition to this base armor, scales can come in 6 statistic-boosting "flavors". For formulas and available items, please read the subcategories.

===Scale slots===
A dragon gains 10 scale slots and 1 claw slot. On the beginning of your adventures as a [[Dragon]], you can only wear a scale on your chest. More slots will unlock as [[:Category:Ability|abilities]] at certain levels. Please refer to the abilities table on either of the [[School|dragon school's]] detail pages.

Available slots (click for more details):
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: First Wing]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Head]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Second Wing]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: First Foreleg]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: First Hindleg]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Second Foreleg]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Second Hindleg]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Back]]
* [[Add Dragon Scale Slot: Tail]]

===Equipping info===
When equipping scales, the player's currently active two schools are looked at. It does not matter if your [[Dragon Crafter]] school is higher then [[Dragon Adventurer]], this makes it possible to gain acces to a full set of Tier 5 scales by reaching lvl 90 [[Dragon Crafter]] (You can wear Tier 5 from lvl 80, but don't get the Tail Slot until you reach lvl 90). This might create problems when switching to a lower level school like [[Dragon Lairshaper]]. So it might be advisable to keep both active schools close together.

==Crafting info==
Scales are crafted at [[Dragon Scale Forge]]s or [[Anvil]]s, with the use of the [[Dragon Scalecraft (Ability)|Dragon Scalecraft]] ability. Depending on the statistical "flavor" of the scale, it can require [[Stone|Bricks]] or [[Metal|Bars]] of the appropriate tier. Strength and Power scales require bricks, Dexterity and Focus require bars, and Armor and Health require half of each.

Unlike [[Spell]]s, applying techniques to a scale while crafting it increases the skill required by the tier of the technique * 10. It has no effect of the equipping requirements of the scale.

===Technique info===
All scales are allowed a standard set of offensive, defensive, crafting, and statistic-boosting [[Techniques]], with a few exceptions:
* You can't apply a statistic technique on a scale if the scale has the same statistic as "flavor" (no [[Statistic: Strength]] on strength scales, no [[Statistic: Power]] on power scales, etc).
* Only wing scales can have [[Statistic: Velocity]] or [[Statistic: Speed]] applied to them.
* Some scales can be [[Socketing|socketed]] (as shown below).
