Armor: Difference between revisions

It's important to simply 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 protects more effectively against attacks from more powerful higher tier weapons. 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.
