Raising Ironclad Defense above level 10

Points buy levels 1–10. Daevanion skill nodes and the skill effects soul binding adds to gear raise it further, up to level 40.

Daevanion nodes: +4 levels → level 14

Board	Opens at	Node cost	Cheapest path from the start	Adds
Nezekan	level 12	2 points	10 points	+1 level
Nezekan	level 12	2 points	4 points	+1 level
Vaizel	level 30	2 points	9 points	+1 level
Triniel	level 40	2 points	11 points	+1 level

From DaevanionNode: skill nodes add levels to one skill. The path cost counts every node on the cheapest way there from the board's start (our calculation, as in the planner).

Gear: soul-binding skill effects

Top, Legs, Helm, Pauldrons, Gloves, Shoes… (1,772 items): soul binding draws up to 3 skill effects, each landing with 20%; a landed effect picks Ironclad Defense 1,000 times in 10,000 and adds +1 level.

Chance one item gets it: 5.88% — 1 − (1 − 20% × 10%)³, our calculation, assuming the draws are independent.
