Black steel body armour

What it does

• Goes in the body slot.
• Power 13 (high quality: 19). On a weapon it raises your accuracy and max hit. On any other piece it raises your evasion and cuts the damage you take.
• Durability 3: it can survive 3 defeats. Gear only wears down when you are defeated. A damaged piece breaks if you unequip it.
• A high-quality piece gives 1.5 times each bonus, rounded down.

Story

Steel body armour folded with a steel core until it turned black. It hits and holds a little better than it should.
