Title: Light Heraldic Armour
Post by: Sagremore on May 11, 2011, 08:27:42 pm
This stems from another thread, but I am curious to see some number from active forum members. I personally would like to see something in the 20's for a bad 1x streak but still fit in with my buddies who all wear the same badge.

Bump, any thoughts?

I wouldn't mind seeing some kind of surcoat over leather armor. Maybe as the other topic suggested change the "Heraldic Mail" (the one that doesn't have the knee pad things) into "Heraldic Tunic over Mail" and have the same stats as the "<color> over mail." The problem is people may have already heirloomed that piece of armor and now they'll be stuck with armor that isn't what they wanted.

A surcoat over some sort of leather would be ideal, especially for archers and other light classes that tend to have no way to show clan allegiance outside of their banner icon, or maybe some light mailish sort of thing, using the "Tunic over mail" as a base to work upon as far as the visual of the armor goes.

Maybe 26-30 armor, too. I know the light strange armor I'm wearing right now is 30 armor, and is only 6 pounds.

I would like a simple heraldic cloth tabard, but something in the 20s would be fine, too. I don't always want to wear a lot of armor, but I do always want to show my banner.

Light Heraldic Armour = a good idea

Specialy for Clan peeps

How about Light herladic mail:

weight: 7.5
body armor: 33
leg armor: 9
difficulty: 9
price: 3k

I always found the gap between the:

Studded Leather Coat
weight: 5
body armor: 30
leg armor: 10
difficulty: 8
2,679

and the:

Lamellar Vest
weight: 9.5
body armor: 36
leg armor: 6
difficulty: 9
3,342

to be a bit to wide in terms of weight and protection, so why not fill it with a light heraldic alternative

+1
As chainmail doesn't really fit an fast moving, light archer that well (it chafes), I support the idea of an heraldic amor based on leather or cloth. Like the "Padded Armor" or "Light Leather". Since it's important for the aiming, it shouldn't be too heavy.

Just a pure "heraldic surcoat" would be nice even though the armour rating on that would be VERY low indeed.

Heraldic Surcoat over leather maybe?

I'd also like to see Heraldic Plate...or maybe plate with the banner logo made to look like its engraved on the chest plate?
