Protection
Armour protects by increasing glance rates and reducing damage taken from hits. The damage taken can be calculated by multiplying the damage that would be taken with no armour with a multiplier. The multiplier is given by the following equation; multiplier = (modifier * ql * ql) / 200000 - (modifier * ql) / 1000 + 0.95, where ql is the armour quality (if the quality is below 2, it is counted as 2) and the modifier is given for the armour types below:
| Cloth | 7 |
| Leather | 8 |
| Studded Leather | 9 |
| Chain | 10 |
| Drake Hide / Steel Plate | 13 |
| Dragon Scale / Adamantine Plate | 14 |
| Glimmersteel Plate / Seryll Plate | 15 |
