Damage reduction formula

The formula was calculated from numerous tests on the test server and is correct for the QL range 2-90; it should be true for above 90 but I cannot spawn high enough QL armour to test. QLs below 2 are simply counted as being 2, I presume to make even extremely low QLs such as 0.01 worth at least something. --Dragon (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2014 (CEST)

Plate armour speeds

Added a "naked" armour as a base value. Feel free to fill in the details. On a side note, the speeds look like the Vynorian road bonus; though, I have not been playing for a few. --Klaa 16:02, 26 December 2008 (CST)

Thanks, that's a good idea. Speed for plate was tested by Sneakypete, and inserted here to be consistent with the changes on Category:Plate armour. May or may not have been with Vynorian bonus. --Noiram 04:59, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Confirmed, the 10.89 speed with plate is definitely with Vynorian speed bonus. --Noiram 06:52, 27 December 2008 (CST)

No effect of any unarmored speed bonus could be proven: Vynora follower achieved the same speed as Fo follower, on cobbles. --Noiram 08:25, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Hrm there was a speed bonus once-upon-a-time along with lower stamina usage for Vynorians. Granted I havent been a WLer (let alone Vynora) for over two years. Ill have to pester Rolf, if I ever see him again to be sure. --Klaa 15:49, 27 December 2008 (CST)

Chain armour speeds

It appears that the chain armour speed measure was also done with Vynorian speed bonus. --Noiram 06:54, 27 December 2008 (CST)

There is no such thing as the Vynora speed bonus. I thought that myth had died already. Robert 12:15, 27 December 2008 (CST)

rename article

This article should be renamed "Comparison of Armour Types" or something like that. "Armour" is too vague of a name and makes the article obscure. Also, are we using the British "Armour" with a "u" or not, as a general rule? --Arcas 9:53, 1 October 2010 (CST)

Agreed, and the Armour page should redirect to Category:Armour as Armor currently does. Since the game uses Armour in a few places and never uses Armor, it's probably best if we use the British spelling for the main page and redirect with the American version. Also, please sign using four ~s --thorgot 20:18, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
