Body Armours
Also referred to as:

    Body armour is a type of armour equipment. Like shields, body armours have inherent movement speed penalties. In general, all STR and STR/INT body armours come with a larger reduced movement speed penalty and all other body armours have a smaller penalty.

    Some top tier Body Armour don't have this hidden movement speed penalties at all: e.g. Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes.., Lua error: Error: invalid field alias "items._pageName"; aliases cannot contain dots or quotes.., etc.

    Version history[]

    Version Changes
    3.0.0
    • Because of Armour/Energy Shield and Evasion/Energy Shield equipment, we've had to apply this change to the local percentage modifiers on all other armour types as well. To compensate, all inherent values of base Armour and Evasion Rating on equipment are now greater at higher item levels.
    • The defences granted by all body armour has been increased at higher levels by 20%.
    1.1.4
    • We have reduced the movement penalty that armour types have as follows:
    Body Armour now has a 3% movement penalty, with Strength or Strength/Intelligence armour having a 5% penalty, instead of 4% and 8% respectively.
