'''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. 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. | '''Armor''' is used to protect the player from damage.

All armor is accessible via crafting. Four non-metal armor types: Improvised, Wood Lamellae, Leather, and Gambeson do not require metal. The four metal armors Brigandine, Chain, Scale and Plate require metal plate and chain components crafted by [[smithing]]. The fifth type of metal armor, Lamellar, is made by casting Lamellae, which can only be constructed from metals that can be worked using the crucible, including copper and bronze. | All armor is accessible via crafting.

It's important to understand how armor values function. Each type of armor (Improvised, Gambeson, Chain, Plate) have base stat modifiers. A full set of [[iron]] plate slows you down just as much as a full set of [[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 [[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. 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. | 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.

Different materials may be made into different types of armors. The material used affects the durability of the armor. So even if a player doesn't have the desired material at the moment, players can choose an armor type that matches the material resources obtained. | Different materials may be made into different types of armors.

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. | The armor system is extremely complicated, with eight variables governing each armor piece's protection properties.
