'''Armor''' is used to protect the player from damage. There are many different kinds of armor that can be made of many different materials, from wood, all the way to [[iron]] plates. Each kind of armor gives small, or not so small, debuffs to things like movement speed or hunger rate. While each material provides increased protection and resistance.

'''Armor''' is used to protect the player from damage. There are many different kinds of armor that can be made of many different materials, from wood, all the way to {{ll|Steel|steel}} plates. While each material provides increased protection and resistance, each kind of armor gives small, or not so small, debuffs to things like movement speed or hunger rate.

== Obtaining == <!--T:3-->
<!--T:44-->
All armor can be crafted with the crafting grid. There are 4 types of non-metallic armor: Improvised, Lamellar (Wood), Leather and Gambeson which do not require any metallic component. Lamellar metal armor, is made by pouring {{ll|casting|molten metal}} into lamellar molds from metals molten in a {{ll|crucible|crucible}}, such as copper or bronze. The other 4 metal armors are: Brigandine, Chain, Scale and Plate. These require components like mail or plates made by {{ll|smithing|forging}}.
=== Basic Armor Mechanics === <!--T:4-->
<!--T:45-->
The purpose of armor is protection. However, the armor model in Vintage Story is somewhat complex, with armor and damage tiers, relative and flat damage protection, and relative and flat damage loss by tier.
<!--T:5-->
* Armor does not protect players from damage taken outside of combat, i.e. from falling, starving or poisoning.
* A full suit of armor includes three equipped components: Head, Body and Legs.
==== When a combat attack on a player occurs ==== <!--T:6-->
<!--T:46-->
# The armor slot receiving the damage is selected. Each slot has a different chance to be selected (head = 20%, body = 50%, legs = 30%.) If the player has not equipped armor in the slot selected for damage, then the player receives full damage.
# Armor tier and weapon/attack damage tier are compared. If the damage tier of the weapon (or mob) is higher than the armor tier, different sets of losses are chosen. If the damage tier of the weapon or attack is high enough to overpower the armor protection, then damage reduction benefits could be negated.
# Damage is calculated. If the damage tier of the weapon (or mob) is not higher than the armor tier: Flat damage reduction is applied first. Then, relative reduction (based on the percent protection granted by the armor type and material tier) is applied to further reduce the remaining damage.
# Damage losses are applied based on the damage tier.
== Protection == <!--T:7-->
<!--T:47-->
It is important to understand how armor values function. Each type of armor (Improvised, Gambeson, Chain, Plate) have base stat modifiers. A full set of {{ll|iron|iron}} plate slows you down just as much as a full set of {{ll|copper|copper}} plate, but iron armor has more durability so it lasts longer than copper armor. Secondly, iron is "more protective" because a metal of a higher tier has a higher "Flat Damage Reduction" and a higher "Relative Protection" reduction percentage. Also, armor constructed from higher tier materials protects more effectively against powerful attacks from higher tier weapons. Generally, higher tier metals make more protective/durable armor: iron is more durable and affords more damage reduction when compared to {{ll|black bronze|black bronze}}, which is more durable and protective than copper. Armor is an investment in resources, but the cost of materials returns value to the player.

When it comes to armor, plate is the most protective and has the highest flat damage reduction: a player wearing a full set of steel plate armor should receive close to zero damage from most types of attack. But plate armor slows the player considerably and makes it difficult to use ranged weapons.  Plate is also the most expensive to create, as it requires plates on top of chainmail, which is added to a leather jerkin. Please note: the leather jerkin is a component for Brigandine, Chain, Scale, and Plate armors, while the Leather Armor is a "finished armor". Both items can be worn as armor, but they offer very different protective values.

The armor system is extremely complicated, with eight variables governing each armor piece's protection properties. The most important variables are relative and flat protection, and protection tier. Those three numbers are most of what changes between armors.
In total the variables are:
<!--T:39-->
* Protection tier
** Relative protection
*** Per tier relative protection loss for high damage tier
*** Per tier relative protection loss for low damage tier
** Flat damage reduction
*** Per tier flat damage reduction loss for high damage tier
*** Per tier flat damage reduction loss for low damage tier
* High damage tier resistant (halves the 15% protection loss)

All armor is accessible via crafting. Most metal armors have components made by [[smithing]], except lamellae are cast.

The main goal of armor is protection. However, the armor model in Vintage Story is somewhat complex, with armor and damage tiers, relative and flat damage protection, and relative and flat damage loss by tier.

=== Basics ===
<!--T:43-->
When it comes to armor, plate is the most protective, and pretty much the most expensive, as it requires plates on top of chainmail, which is on top of jerkin. It's important to simply understand how armor values are chosen. Basically, each construction, improvised, jerkin, etc., each have their own stat modifiers. A full set of [[iron]] plate slows you down just as much as a full set of [[copper]] plate, but iron is more protective. Generally, rarer and higher tier metals make better armor, iron is better than [[black bronze]] which is better than copper. So it's worth your resources to make good armor.

# If the damage is not from a weapon, i.e. falling or starving, the armor has no effect.
</translate>
# The armor slot to damage is chosen, and each slot has a different chance to be damaged. The head has a 20% chance, the body has 50%, and the legs have 30%. If the chosen slot has no armor then full damage is applied.
{{-}}
# Armor tier and damage tier are compared. If the damage tier is higher than the armor tier, different sets of losses are chosen.
{{Items navbox}}
# The damage losses are applied for the damage tier. If the damage tier is high enough all protection could be negated.
{{Game navbox}}
# Flat damage reduction is applied, then relative reduction.
