Talk:Armour

Moon Metal Chain Armor

It has been discovered that the material of chain armor does not change any properties of chain armor except for appearance.

"Chain armour made out of other materials is only cosmetic. Iron, seryll, glimmersteel, etc. chain all function identically in terms of damage reduction. Having a different material just gives you that extra swag that charms the beast into going easy on you"

Damage reduction formula

The formula was calculated from numerous tests on the test server and is correct for the QL range 2-90; it should be true for above 90 but I cannot spawn high enough QL armour to test. QLs below 2 are simply counted as being 2, I presume to make even extremely low QLs such as 0.01 worth at least something. --Dragon (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2014 (CEST)

Plate armour speeds

Added a "naked" armour as a base value. Feel free to fill in the details. On a side note, the speeds look like the Vynorian road bonus; though, I have not been playing for a few. --Klaa 16:02, 26 December 2008 (CST)

Thanks, that's a good idea. Speed for plate was tested by Sneakypete, and inserted here to be consistent with the changes on Category:Plate armour. May or may not have been with Vynorian bonus. --Noiram 04:59, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Confirmed, the 10.89 speed with plate is definitely with Vynorian speed bonus. --Noiram 06:52, 27 December 2008 (CST)

No effect of any unarmored speed bonus could be proven: Vynora follower achieved the same speed as Fo follower, on cobbles. --Noiram 08:25, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Hrm there was a speed bonus once-upon-a-time along with lower stamina usage for Vynorians. Granted I havent been a WLer (let alone Vynora) for over two years. Ill have to pester Rolf, if I ever see him again to be sure. --Klaa 15:49, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Chain armour speeds

It appears that the chain armour speed measure was also done with Vynorian speed bonus. --Noiram 06:54, 27 December 2008 (CST)

There is no such thing as the Vynora speed bonus. I thought that myth had died already. Robert 12:15, 27 December 2008 (CST)

rename article

This article should be renamed "Comparison of Armour Types" or something like that. "Armour" is too vague of a name and makes the article obscure. Also, are we using the British "Armour" with a "u" or not, as a general rule? --Arcas 9:53, 1 October 2010 (CST)

Agreed, and the Armour page should redirect to Category:Armour as Armor currently does. Since the game uses Armour in a few places and never uses Armor, it's probably best if we use the British spelling for the main page and redirect with the American version. Also, please sign using four ~s --thorgot 20:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
