Comparison

  • Metal types have properties which may affect damage reduction or other aspects of armour.
  • Damage reduction scales with quality level.
  • Each level of rarity adds 3% to damage reduction:
    • Rare: +3%
    • Supreme: +6%
    • Fantastic: +9%
Armour type Base Damage Reduction Walking speed penalty Casting/archery buff Weight (kg)
Unarmoured N/A 0% +30% 0.00
Cloth 40% 0% +30% 1.80
Leather 60% 10.9% +30% 3.20
Studded leather 62.5% 14.5% +0% 4.90
Chain 62.5% 21.6% -15% 8.20

Drake hide armour 65% 9.6% -30% 3.20
Dragon scale armour 70% 5.4% -30% 5.80
  • For spellcasting/archery buff, defaults to the heaviest type of armour that is worn. Leather with a chain gauntlet will default to chain. Helmets bypass this rule.
