Equipment effects

The Agility (AGI) rating can change one's Armor Rating (AR), as can certain types of equipment. Below is a list of the equipment and its effects on the AR. Because of the sheer volume of magical items available, this list can only be a guideline when buying armor or other items.

Equipment type

For the Armor Rating, a negative number is considered good, while a positive is disadvantageous. The lower the rating, the better protected the player is.

• Leather armor pieces reduce 3 points of AR
• Chain armor pieces reduce 6 points of AR
• Plate armor pieces reduce 9 points of AR
