Padded body armour

What it does

• Goes in the body slot.
• Power 8 (high quality: 12). 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 2: it can survive 2 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.

At +10 one can be evolved into Black padded body armour, for 96 coins, 1 Copper core and 5 Bandit scrap.

Story

Copper plates over wolf-pelt padding. The padding does most of the work, as any smith will tell you.
