| − | # | + | '''Bone armor''' or '''shell armor''' is not a full suit, but rather several possible individual pieces that can be produced in a Craft Workshop by a dwarf with the [[bone carving]] labor enabled. As a rule, bone and shell armor is to armor made from any [[Armor#Material|other material]] - a dwarf should rely on this only as a last resort, or for style points. But it's better than nothing - although bone and shell armour sucks, so do head, neck and internal injuries. |
| + | |||
| + | Although it is lighter, the difference in protection is usually too large to ignore unless [[speed]] is paramount - any [[attribute|very strong]] dwarf should not worry too much, and otherwise the loss in speed is still minor. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Bones and shells from different animals do not give different protection values, but, as with any armour, better [[quality]] improves protection. | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are 3 different pieces of armour possible with shell armour, and 1 additional with bone - | ||
| + | |||
| + | * '''Shell:''' [[Helm]], [[Gauntlets]], [[Leggings]] | ||
| + | * '''Bone:''' Helm, Gauntlets, Leggings, [[Greaves]] | ||
| + | |||
| + | It takes 1 stack of bones ''(regardless of the size of the stack!)'' to produce any but the greaves, which takes 3 stacks. All have a base value of 15 except greaves, which have a base value of 30. (Unless you have a master Bone Carver and are using the shells/bones of a highly valuable animal, the difference in value produced is minimal, and greaves have a significantly higher protection value.) | ||
