Description

Armour is equipment worn to protect against damage, at the cost of movement speed. Different types of armour are effective against different attack types.

Effective ql curve

Armour up to quality 70 has an effective ql curve.

Actual QL Effective QL
1 20
10 34.7
20 43.6
30 50.4
40 56.1
50 61.2
60 65.8
70 70
80 80
90 90
100 100

Comparison

  • Metal types have properties which may affect damage reduction or other aspects of armour.
  • Damage reduction scales with quality level.
  • Each level of rarity adds 3% to damage reduction:
    • Rare: +3%
    • Supreme: +6%
    • Fantastic: +9%
Armour type Base Damage Reduction Walking speed penalty Casting/archery buff Weight (kg)
Unarmoured N/A 0% +30% 0.00
Cloth 40% 0% +30% 1.80
Leather 60% 10.9% +30% 3.20
Studded leather 62.5% 14.5% +0% 4.90
Chain 62.5% 21.6% -15% 8.20
Plate armour 65% 27.0% -30% 20.50
Drake hide armour 65% 9.6% -30% 3.20
Dragon scale armour 70% 5.4% -30% 5.80
  • For spellcasting/archery buff, defaults to the heaviest type of armour that is worn. Leather with a chain gauntlet will default to chain. Helmets bypass this rule.

Attack type protection

Different types of armour are stronger or weaker against certain types of damage. Additionally, certain materials are best suited for armour purposes. See the following tables for more:

Damage Reduction

Chain 100% 107.5% 107.5% 92.5% 107.5% 92.5% 100%

Studded leather 90% 105% 100% 110% 100% 110% 90%
  • These values modify the base Damage Reduction values, given in the comparison table below.
  • The higher the percentage, the more protection an armour has against that attack type.
  • The lower the percentage, the less protection an armour has against that attack type.
  • 100% = no modifier.
