Separate damaged armor that cannot be repaired from a missing crafting mould. Hotfix 1.0.10 enables repair of heavy Deep North armor. Patch 1.0.15 lets both Jotun Warrior types drop both medium and heavy armor moulds. Neither change removes other recipe requirements.

What to do first

1. Identify the immediate block: damaged completed armor or a missing mould. Note the actual item name.
2. For repair, verify the installed hotfix before spending resources on replacement equipment.
3. For medium or heavy moulds, include both Jotun Warrior types on a build with the 1.0.15 change. An old exclusive-source rule is no longer a sound plan.
4. After obtaining the mould, inspect the current recipe and station requirements before committing the rest of your supplies.

A repair failure is not a farming task

A player with completed armor should first check the build and repair context rather than automatically farming a second copy to work around a fixed defect. If the item remains unrepairable on an updated client, record its name and the visible station information for a specific report.

Eligible is not guaranteed

Both warrior types can supply both armor weights after the change. This broadens which encounters help; it does not establish a trophy-style guarantee or fixed farming quota. Keep actual kills and drops separate from official probabilities. The source supplies no exact percentage.

Budget the complete attempt

Identify which ingredient actually blocks progress before choosing another expedition. Carrying the correct mould solves one dependency, while materials, station access and a safe return still matter. Do not spend all remaining supplies reaching a target if another recipe dependency remains unresolved.

Report the failed step

For drops, give warrior type, build and the mould needed. For repair, give armor, build and what happens at the station. Combining the two into a claim that all armor is broken obscures the cause. The notes do not establish universal recipe quantities or a best armor set for every weapon.
