Description
Armour is equipment worn to protect against damage, at the cost of speed and mobility. Different types of armor are effective against different attack types.
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 armor that is worn. Leather with a chain gauntlet will default to chain. Helmets bypass this rule.
