Archer armor?

[Carac]

Hello! I was wondering what is the weight of armor that an archer can wear but can still be accurate. Right now I am wearing a Gambeson. I am trying to go for a Medieval Western themed archer.

Get Padded Cloth.


Personally i'd go Peltastos armor when i'll go light armor for my old friendchers/xbows. It looks sexy and offers a decent amount of armor as well as not being too heavy.

Try the brigandines or anything lighter.

10 weight in total, helmet weight is extra high btw.

[Shik]

As of the latest patch, archers can wear up to 10 weight without losing accuracy.
Helmets count double
Gloves count quadruple.
boots and body armor are x1

Even if you go above 10 weight though, it's not the end of the world.

After we cross that line is accuracy affected by all weight or all-10?

What would boots realisticly have to do with archers aim?

[Leshma]

Gloves count quadruple

That's a pretty epic nerf to gloves. How about you change to x3?

This will affect archers mostly, kuyak clones with Heavy Gauntlets don't care about wpf, they just want to be fast.

Also thanks for sharing that info with us. You're a sweetheart, Shik

Gief explanation how currently weight affects speed. Armor and weapons combined and what limit etc etc?

[Aderyn]

weight lowers WPF

wpf = reloadspeed/accuracy/dmg etc

as shik said over 10 weight u loose all of it.

Anyways, a little friendly reminder to all you archers out there. Weight affects your speed. Keep it in mind if you wanna get away from those big bad meleebuilds

Didn't it used to be helmet was x3, gloves x2. Now its helmet x 2 and gloves x4. That correct or did shik get it the wrong way around?

[Leshma]

It's correct. Cmpx said before they've changed it so gloves have more impact on wpf and helmet less.

oh ok thx

[Aderyn]

cool archers wear strawhats anyways.
