Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Among these two links, the damage reduction listed for plate armor does not match. So which one is true then? In this link's table below, plate armor is listed at 65% damage reduction.https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Armour Meanwhile in this second link it says: "Like drake hide armour, plate armour made from iron has a base damage reduction of 70% at 100 quality.".https://www.wurmpedia.com/index.php/Category:Plate_armour Edited May 20, 2020 by Kody Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2020 you have 5% base dr so 70% is correct 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2020 @KodyI believe the second link is outdated. Plate armor used to have an added DR to the player of 70%. Now it has been reduced to 65% for iron and can be bumped to 67.5% if the set is made of steel. Heard OR mention a 5% base DR before, but don't see how that's remotely relevant when discussing the DR of a certain armor, as that supposed 5% doesn't really have anything to do with the armor. It has something to do with you while in the armor, but it's just misleading at best as far as I can tell. If you insist on accounting for the 5% base DR, then old plate had 75% and new iron plate has 70% or 72.5% if it's steel. Either way, it has gone down, and the second link most likely reflects the old value. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2020 I see. Thanks! 🙂 So does the 2.5% steel DR apply to chain armor too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
