In some other thread the question was raised weather it is possible to craft chain armor with linings bought from a merchant (off-topic, therefore this new thread). Apparently the linings wont work, but supposedly the normal armor from the armor merchant. Now, either I am doing something wrong (i.e. buying the wrong leather armor to go with my chain recipe) ôr this aint working as intended.

Say I want to create some bronze chain mittens - I will need some roman rawhide gloves. The merchant only sells roman rawhide leather gloves which wont work for creating those chain mittens I long for.

Now, the question I have is - am I looking/buying from the wrong merchant or do something else wrong, or does it maybe not work because the item names are wrong in the database (and therefore the whole thing is a bug).

I should maybe mention that I am from Albion and the merchant I bought the gloves from is Lara Weathers near the smith in camelot.

afaik you have to use crafted ones...
