Posted October 20, 2012 Suggestion for the upcoming Wurm 1.0 enhancements. Trolls would need to produce a special hide when butchered. Regular trolls might drop a 6 kg hide, "Conditioned" trolls (fierce etc) might drop a 9kg hide, Chap trolls might drop a 16kg hide.Kind of a "poor man's drake," this armor would have all of the toughness of studded armor, combined with the lightness and speed of cloth armors. But unlike drake, you cannot imp it with regular leather but only with more trollhide. It would not be quite as "pretty"/polished/ornate in looks as as domestic leather armors but still look good. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2012 I like it, something people can strive for, as a higher powered armor, without the absolutely rediculous pricing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2012 Hmm but wouldn't it make studded armor useless, I mean trolls aren't that hard to kill with the help of tower guards so I don't think it will be difficult for players to get the hides. And if it's tough as studded and light as cloth, that will make studded armor quite useless.It might be better to make it as good as normal leather armor, but then I don't think trollhide armor would be useful. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2012 +1 However, I would suggest making it the same defense as studded but maybe the weight of chain along with movement penalties of chain. This makes it a cheap alternative while the other armors would still fit into the equation as better alternatives. On another note, why stop with just trolls? What if each type of hide produced its own special leather like a "rare" chance when making leather from the hide. This special leather could then be used to make and imp special armor, i.e. croc leather, unicorn leather, hell horse leather, horse leather, cow/bull leather. I believe this may have been brought up some time ago. But with visible armors going in sometime in the near future this could be an update after that.

Posted October 20, 2012 would be a good reason for some people to start hunting I'm therefore for more materials for aggro mobs in general^^ what about bear and wolf hides? pelt armor and so on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 20, 2012 I think that a speed penalty in between studded leather and chain, and the toughness higher then chain. With these you could have it so there is less then 6kg butchered. Maybe like 4kg hides that make 2.5kg of leather? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 20, 2012 Many people can't afford drake armor -.- It is very exspensive armor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Who was that sicko that had a people skin mask? Kind of reminds me of that. Yuck. Maybe tower guard hide armor too. Or croc hide armor. Seems my sword bounces off them often enough.oops forgot. +1 Edited October 21, 2012 by Sarcaticous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 21, 2012 This would not only damage armor makers(they can produce low lvl armors too, and not only for coins as payment), it would - as earlier mentioned - make studded leather useless.But to not let this idea rot away, i suggest beaten trolls to drop not only a club, but a low-protection helmet with the tag "do-gooder" on it and a bonus to digestion.
