Armor is a type of apparel, along with clothing and jewelry , that can be worn on the player character's body. Shields, which are wielded by the player, are also categorized as armor. Armor comes in two classes: Light and Heavy. This page lists all individual armor pieces and armor sets added by Order of the Dragon.
The Armor Rating displayed in the table represents the percentage of damage the piece of Armor absorbs. A player's combined rating may not exceed 85%. The listed Armor rating is modified by the player's Skill in the Armor type (Light Armor or Heavy Armor) and the Armor's condition by the following multiplier:
( 0.35 + 0.0065 * Skill ) * ArmorHealth%
Note that Skill is modified by Luck before it is used in this formula, and is constrained between 0 and 100 as usual.
Armor protects the wearer from damage due to weapons, but not from magical damage (at least for non-enchanted armor). For each blow that armor absorbs, it becomes damaged. Armor can be repaired using the Armorer skill.
A shield only contributes to your Armor rating if you have both it and a one-handed weapon equipped. If you have a two-handed weapon, a bow, or no weapon (i.e., any combat would be Hand to Hand) equipped, the shield is assumed to be unavailable because you would not be able to use it in combat. However, any enchantments associated with an equipped shield will be effective no matter what type of weapon you do (or do not) have equipped.
