=== Special armour types ===
:* [[:Category:Drake hide armour|Drake hide armour]] - The best [[leatherworking]] based armour existing in Wurm. Made from the hide of [[dragon]] hatchlings, its protection rating is between chain and similar to plate, yet more vulnerable to cutting and piercing than chain armor (although this disparity is [[Wurm_Server_Release_Notes_2011#110713_No_more_disappearing_mounts|reduced in PvE]]). Drake hide armor has a small penalty to walking speed and is very lightweight.:* [[:Category:dragon scale armour|Dragon scale armour]] - Dragon scale is the best armour available. Made out of the scales of a red dragon, this kind of [[plate armour is superior to plate smithing]] based armour, while having suffers only a very small movement penalty. However, this armour damages faster than any other in combat.
