some time ago we usually bought the fragments in the fair to make red weapons and red bows, with the blacksmith help.(6/1 item strenght).
In rare occasions (like winter fair) we could buy the red pcs (6/1 item strenght).
now we need to buy the frames ( in a nutshell the blueprints for the armor pcs that we want to make), to obtain that frames we need to exchanges some resources:
IOU's for
Cuirass
Ludials for Cuisses
Weapons certificate or the warrior weapon frame certificate for Weapons
Gold for Chainmail
Shoemaker tokens for boots
Tournament winner certificate for gauntlets
Reflection gems for Pauldrons
and
Valuable gnome coins for helmet. ( the number of resources we need changes with the level of the piece)
once you get the frames you need: some spark of the heavenly fires, the artful pcs of the armor we want ( for example: artful sword of the jaguar or artful chrome sword for the main red weapon) and erdur ore.the number of sparks and erdur ores change with the level of the red armor/weapon we want.
the sparks can be buy during the fairs or create by combining the shards spark obtaining by some events.
the erdur ore can be obtain by winning some battlefields during special event ( magic storm for example) OR by exchange some resources to the blacksmith during the event "Ore warehouse opens" we can also buy some ore from other players.
Red armor are expensive now but their strenght it's 99/1 so we can use it with more tranquillity.
with symbols and runes we can create a badass armor.
