The body and leg parts of chain armor are made from [[Leather Jerkin|leather jerkin]] armor parts and chain of any kind. Only the chain helmet requires no prior armor parts and is instead crafted directly from 3 chain.


The easiest way to make chain is to automate a helve hammer to turn 2 ingots into a plate, then place a hot plate on an anvil to remove the voxels required by the chain smithing recipe.
* the anvil must be made of a metal no lower than one "tier" [https://wiki.vintagestory.at/index.php/Chain_armor#Notes below the tier of the ingot]
* the hammer for smithing may be of any metal
* if making plates from copper, bronze, silver, or gold: a crucible and ingot molds are needed
* if making plates from iron or meteoric iron, a bloomery and bloomery chimney are needed
* if making plates from steel, a refractory furnace and stone coffin are needed
* all metal-working requires [[tongs]], a [[firestarter]] or [[torch]], and fuel suitable for the working temperature of the target metal
* in addition to metal chain, 14 [[leather]] is required to craft chain body armor, and 8 leather is required to craft chain leg armor

Suit of iron chain armor


A full set of chain armor requires smithing 40 ingots on an anvil.

Creation

The easiest way to make chain is to automate a helve hammer to turn 2 ingots into a plate, then place a hot plate on an anvil to remove the voxels required by the chain smithing recipe.

  • the anvil must be made of a metal no lower than one "tier" below the tier of the ingot
  • the hammer for smithing may be of any metal
  • if making plates from copper, bronze, silver, or gold: a crucible and ingot molds are needed
  • if making plates from iron or meteoric iron, a bloomery and bloomery chimney are needed
  • if making plates from steel, a refractory furnace and stone coffin are needed
  • all metal-working requires tongs, a firestarter or torch, and fuel suitable for the working temperature of the target metal
  • in addition to metal chain, 14 leather is required to craft chain body armor, and 8 leather is required to craft chain leg armor
  • optional: a helve hammer may be made of bronze or higher tier

Armor Tiers and Durability

Different types of armors offer different protection values and durability. Additionally, they may hinder your movements speed and add to your hunger gain. While an alternative to Brigandine armor in terms of stats, with only based on the type of metal it is used.

Material Flat Damage Reduction Durability Percent Protection Protection Tier
Copper 1.1 600 80% 1

Silver 1.2 700 82% 2
Bismuth Bronze 1.2 650 81% 2

Iron 1.3 800 84% 3
Meteoric Iron 1.35 900 84% 3
Steel 1.4 2000 86% 4

Usage

While chain armor is inherently useful for combat protection, it's also an ingredient in other armor types: add 2 leather and 12 scales to make scale armor or 16 plates to make plate armor.

Notes

  • Steel ingots and meteoric iron ingots require an iron anvil; iron ingots require a bronze anvil or higher; bronze ingots can be worked on a copper anvil. Attempting to place an ingot on an anvil of a lower tier than required results in an error message instead of smithing menu.
