How To Craft the Iron Hills Armor in Return to Moria

To craft the Iron Hills armor in Return to Moria, you’re going to need a few resources.

Those resources include:

• 4 Iron Ingots
• 2 Hide Scraps
• 3 Cloth Scraps

Craft the item, and the armor will show up in your inventory.

Drag the Iron Hills armor to your chest slot in your inventory, and you will equip it.

If you don’t have the Iron Hills gloves yet, then you’ll notice that your armor will boost your armor rating by 2/3rds.

If the gloves are equipped, then your armor rating will start to extend into a secondary meter.

This means your enemies will have to hit you a lot in order to break down your armor.

You’ll be pretty protected despite only wearing tier I armor.

So, repair statues and make your Iron Hills armor to better explore the Mines of Moria.
