Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Gambeson As Scale is to Plate, Drake is to Leather, Gambeson is a greater version of cloth. Providing the higher base damage than cloth at 52.5% and slightly higher walking speed penalty of cloth at 4%. Gambeson is a unique armor set for Priests and Archers alike! This armor is crafted from the scraps of loin cloths taken from slain unique humanoids. When the Forest giant, Goblin Leader, Kyklops or Troll King falls, premium players obtain scrap of loin cloth by being in local range.

Posted December 27, 2018 It's a nice idea, I like it. I don't like the name though but some creative spirit could come up with another one. +1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Armour archers/priest can use leather, studded as heavy (no buffs) drake/scale is -30% 60% reduccion and no speed penality is so op. lets say broad cloth armour, base reduction damage 50%, walking speed reduction 7-9%, archery/casting +15% leather give 60% reduction + 30% bonus, is OP already. probably need nerf the archery/casting buff armours got a buff some time ago...

Posted December 27, 2018 I'd hope it to work with the buff of 30% and vary from there as an improvement to cloth. Would be fun to see a new armor type added and cloth really should have an advanced set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2018 I agree with the advanced cloth, but disagree with the suggested stats. I'm sure this can be tweaked, but its a good idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2018 If its split between everyone in local the same way drake/scale is, that just incentives not having public slayings for humanoids which i'm not really a fan of. New armor types are always cool though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2018 here's the problem. Scale alraedy has the movement speed of someone naked . How fast will this be? Faster than someone naked? Scale needs to be nerfed before this can be a thing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 27, 2018 In general I agree, we need high-end armour sets for priests and archers though I would change the details in the OP's post. Current situation is that we have scale and drake armour, but both count as heavy armour and are thus unsuited for priests and archers because they get a penalty to spellcasting and archery while wearing it. That's why my character Timothymarker uses a plain leather set. Design goal of any new armour set must be that it counts as light armour for game mechanics. However, it will be difficult to design an armour set that captures the needs of both casters and archers and likely even more difficult to make it look right for both professions graphically. Can't have archers that look like priests! Thus we really need two new armour sets: A set based off plain leather (leatherworking) with some high-end materials from uniques to make an archer's high-end armour set. I'd suggest to give this set a bonus to archery and spellcasting of 25%, the current cloth and plain leather sets provide 30%. A set based off cloth (cloth tailoring) with some high-end materials from uniques to make a priests high-end armour set. I'd suggest to give this set a bonus of 40% to spellcasting and a bonus of 25% to archery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) +1 to general idea. I'd like to see metal-weave cloth armor (cloth woven with wires, to give it strength or special properties). Also, I kinda wish Oakshell was an armor enchant, acting like Forest Giant Strength, to increase armor DR on a curve depending on existing DR (so it would help out cloth a lot, while doing very little, if anything, to rare scale).

Posted December 27, 2018 (edited) Weren't there like 4 different item types that were laid out/described a few years back? Spoiler Where are those?
