Armourer's Scrap is a valuable crafting currency in Path of Exile 2 used specifically to improve the quality of armor pieces such as helmets, body armor, gloves, and boots. Each use raises the armor’s quality by a small percentage, up to a maximum of 20%. Increasing quality directly enhances the base defensive stats of the item—armor rating, evasion, or energy shield—by the same percentage, resulting in stronger overall protection. If you're looking to further enhance your armor crafting, poe 2 currency for sale can help you purchase rare crafting materials.
To apply Armourer’s Scrap, simply right-click the scrap in your inventory, then left-click the armor piece you want to upgrade. Quality improvements also increase the likelihood of gaining additional sockets and links when using socket-related crafting items, making higher quality armor more versatile for endgame customization.

You can obtain Armourer’s Scraps primarily by salvaging armor that already has quality—lower-level or rare items are fine candidates. The Salvage Bench (unlocked early in Act One by completing the “Finding the Forge” quest) is your main station for dismantling gear into scraps efficiently. You can also farm monster-dense late-game areas or buy quality armor from vendors to break down into scraps if drops are scarce.
For best use, save your Armourer's Scraps for armor pieces you intend to keep long term, particularly rare or unique gear, to maximize defensive benefits. Regularly salvaging quality gear and managing your stockpile ensures you have enough scraps to continuously improve your defenses as you progress through tougher content.
Armourer's Scrap is key to elevating your character’s survivability by boosting armor quality, making armor crafting more effective and helping you prepare for difficult encounters throughout the game.
