=== Armour types ===
'''Each armor armour type has a distinct advantage and disadvantage.'''
:* [[:Category:Cloth armour|Cloth armour]] - Offers minimal protection with high mobility. Cloth armour has the highest evasion rate of any armor armour type and can be used as an emergency bandage.
:* [[:Category:Leather armour|Leather armour]] - Leather armour provides light defenses with medium-high mobility. Walking speed and evasion penalties are minimal.
:* [[:Category:Studded leather armour|Studded leather armour]] - Studded leather armour provides a moderate amount of base defense with similar penalties as leather armour. Studded leather armour represents a good common ground between speed and defense. Studded leather armour has a mild evasion penalty.
:* [[:Category:Chain armour|Chain armour]] - Chain armour provides good defense with a medium penalty to mobility. Evasion is moderately affected by chain armorarmour.
:* [[:Category:Plate armour|Plate armour]] - Plate armour provides the largest defense bonus of any armour crafted from metals, at the largest expense of mobility. Steel plate armour has base damage reduction equal to that of [[:Category:Drake hide armour|drake hide armour]]. Adamantine plate has damage reduction equal to [[:Category:dragon scale armour|Dragon scale armour]]. Glimmersteel and seryll plate has the highest base damage reduction in game. While plate can be made from other metals they all have less damage reduction than steel plate.
=== Special armour types ===
:* [[:Category:Drake hide armour|Drake hide armour]] - The best [[leatherworking]] based armour existing in Wurm. Made from the hide of [[dragon]] hatchlings, its protection rating is similar to plate. Drake hide armor armour has a small penalty to walking speed and is very lightweight.
:* [[:Category:dragon scale armour|Dragon scale armour]] - Dragon scale is the best armour available. Made out of the scales of a dragon (any color), this [[plate armour smithing]] based armour suffers only a very small movement penalty. However, this armour damages faster than any other in combat.
