***Each of these increases the armor resistance bonuses of '''passive''' armor hardeners by 5% per level. Their bonuses to active armor hardeners only apply when the active armor hardeners are turned off, and are therefore irrelevant in most scenarios. They are, however, a nice backup if you are being neuted heavily enough to turn off your hardeners, but that is rare. | ***Each of these increases the armor resistance bonuses of '''passive''' armor hardeners by 5% per level.
