Armor
Armor is the category of in game items that can be equipped by a character mostly for defensive purposes. Armor generally has Resistances and other properties used by a character in combat. This distinguishes armor from clothing, as other than a few pieces made by Seers and Event Moderators over the years, and also specifically hats, which take up the helm armor slot, clothing usually does not have defensive or offensive item properties.
Types of Armor
Armor Slots
Armor can first be categorized in a general sense by what armor slot it takes up on the paperdoll, which denotes what part of the body the armor is associated with. There are 7 armor slots available:
- Helms (Head Slot)
- Gorgets (Neck Slot)
- Tunic (Chest Slot)
- Leggings (Legs Slot)
- Shields (Left Hand Slot)
- Sleeves (Arms Slot)
- Gloves (Hands Slot)
Suit Type
Armor can also be categorized more specifically by the type of suit of which the armor is a part. Suits may or may not contain components for each equipment slot; For example, Leather Armor comes with a head covering while most other sets do not.
Furthermore, some sets contain "alternative" Female Armor components.
Note that all types of armor in a given set come with the same basic resists. For example, a plate gorget provides exactly the same level of protection as a plate tunic. Armor that is exceptionally crafted will receive a bonus that is further boosted by your character's Arms Lore skill, while Runic Tools can be used to send the total resistance level far higher.
Some forms of armor are "medable", meaning they do not affect your use of the meditation skill when worn. Elven armor can only be worn elves.
