Buckle Artistry Overview

Buckle Artistry is a skill based around the creation of belt buckles. These buckles are not magical in any way. Only the individual who crafts a buckle may equip it. Over time, belt buckles will decay and break.

Buckle Artistry Mechanics

Buckle Decay

“

Crafted belt buckles get damaged in combat and eventually break, requiring you to make a new one. The rate of decay is going to have to be experimented with. Theoretically the buckles will last for an average of 5 hours of combat (that is, being "in combat" for 18,000 seconds) before they break.

Trivia

The developers have suggested that a potential replacement character model may one day be added to the game, and that this model might display both belts, and buckles.
