Broken armour can only be found by digging in the Digsite. It can be repaired at an armour stand (55 Construction required to build, but players could use others') in the workshop of a player-owned house. It will give 25 Smithing experience and become a platelegs or plateskirt of random metal, from bronze to mithril. However, there is a chance of breaking it beyond repair, destroying the item.

When shown to Terry Balando at the Exam Centre in Misthalin, he says "It looks like the wearer of this fought a mighty battle."
