Finding Thornheart Cuirass

This item enters the offline drop pool at enemy level 10. Drop eligibility does not guarantee an item, and online loot is controlled by the game server.

Acquisition references

Upgrades & sockets

Thornheart Cuirass can be upgraded up to +10. Compare its effect and rolls before investing in an upgrade; a higher rarity alone does not tell you how well it fits your skills.

The +9 and +10 upgrades each require three Defiled Wyrm Scales, in addition to the gold cost.

This slot allows up to 2 sockets. Gems use their armor bonus in this item. See the gem effect table before choosing a gem.
