Armor

Armor is useful in absorbing the damage done by various weapons. Armor also has a chance of deflecting successful attacks. If you choose heavier armor without the training to wear it effectively, your defense drops because you are hindered physically.

There are 6 types of armor in Unwritten Legends.

Cloth

Little better than nothing, cloth armor still helps against elemental (hot or cold) type attacks.

Light Leather

Though light leather requires little training to use, it provides good protection for beginners.

Heavy Leather

Upgraded light leather requires more training but also provides more protection.

Scale Armor

This armor provides a very good balance between weight and protection, and is used by many warriors who cannot commit the time and energy to wear heavier armor.

Chain Mail

Second only to plate mail, this armor provides great protection, but requires very high strength and training to wear effectively.

Plate Mail

Very heavy, this armor is only for the strongest and best-trained warriors. The benefit is that it provides the highest level of protection.
