Hide armor
The first armor: leather or fur, light (6 kg the set) and 25 % protection.
In the game
How to get it
Leather or fur, mixed as you like, in the armor shapes: helmet 5 cells, chestplate 8, leggings 7, boots 4.
What it is for
Takes a quarter of the blows of creatures, players, arrows, fire and lava, and weighs almost nothing.
Why it exists
The first night is easier dressed: hides come from the animals around you.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
Hide armor is the armor of tanned leather and fur, stitched and riveted.
Recipes (any hide: leather or fur)
| Piece | Cells | Shape |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | 5 | a row of 3 over the two side cells of the row below |
| Chestplate | 8 | a 3×3 square missing the top middle cell |
| Leggings | 7 | a row of 3, then the two sides on the two rows below |
| Boots | 4 | the two side cells of two rows |
Leather comes from cows, horses, goats, kangaroos and behemoths; fur from bears, rabbits, yetis and shadow cats.
Numbers
- Full set: 25 % protection, 6 kg. Each piece protects in proportion to what it covers: helmet 15 %, chestplate 40 %, leggings 30 %, boots 15 % of the set.
- It wears with every blow it takes and breaks at the end ("Armor broken").
Wearing it
Right click with a piece in hand, or drag it onto the armor column of your bag. Armor is built on your skin: every skin wears it well.
