Level 1+ armor slots
Defense Jewel [1] is an armor decoration, so it only goes into the slots on armor pieces, never into a weapon. It needs a level 1 slot or higher (level 1, 2, 3). Each armor piece shows its slot sizes as ①②③ in the equipment box, and the build pages list them per piece.
Defense Jewel [1] is not forged at the Smithy. Like every decoration it comes from quest rewards, mostly tempered monster investigations in high rank, and from the Melding Pot, where spare monster materials are melded into random armor decorations. Pick Armor Decoration melding at the rarity band that includes rarity 3; this rarity melds from ordinary high-rank materials and drops from most tempered investigations.
