Gilding involves applying layers of metal upon weapons, bracers, gauntlets, helmets, or armours. The process usually involves first cleaning and softening the target item with an acid, then descending it into a mixture of mercury and the desired metal for gilding. You need 20 levels of smithing to be able to start mastering this craft.
