It can be produced by using 3 Fractite bars with a hammer on an anvil, requiring level 46 Smithing and granting 147 smithing experience. If possible, it is usually advised to produce a Fractite platebody instead, as it gives better defence bonuses overall. However, it is somewhat heavier, requires a higher Smithing level to make, and requires 5 bars as opposed to 3, making the chainbody more accessible to some players.
