I can confirm that no new techniques are learned between 301 and 375 mech lore. --Hithrael

Difficulty levels

Taking some notes based on my mech lore (~340 ranks), techniques, metal quality, and metal workability. --Hithrael 16:04, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

From the armorsmithing crafting discipline you have been trained in Accessory Chain Armor Design, Extremity Chain Armor Design, Torso Chain Armor Design, Complete Chain Armor Design, Accessory Brigandine Armor Design, Extremity Brigandine Armor Design, Torso Brigandine Armor Design, Complete Brigandine Armor Design, Accessory Plate Armor Design, Armorcraft Metallurgy, Armorcraft Theory, Armorcraft Acumen, Metal Armor Tempering, Rare-Metal Armor Tempering, Metal Armor Lightening, and Metal Armor Reinforcing.

Difficulty is not constant across all patterns of a same difficulty (e.g. differences between first item under that difficulty and last item).

With 127 ML, 20 Agi, I can craft all simple patterns but none of the basic patterns when I do not have a corresponding tech. I can craft all basic patterns but no somewhat challenging patterns when I do have a corresponding tech. When trying to study a pattern to difficult I get 'comprehend all but several minor details in the text' on the patterns I can make and 'quickly realize the design is far beyond your abilities' on the ones I can't. --Khelek 00:52, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

After reaching 150 mech, I can make Somewhat Challenging designs (tier 6) if I have the corresponding tech. --Khelek 01:19, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

With 300 forging, armorsmithing career and the relevant techs I am getting hard work orders in the challenging tier. I am able to achieve between outstanding and mastercrafted for these with bronze (assuming master tools and variable ingots purity) --Kamlio 04/2013
