Trivia

  • While there are no steel ingots required in crafting the glass armor, one can quite clearly see a chainmail shirt underneath the glass pauldrons and chainmail pants under the thigh protectors.
  • Unlike Elven armor, which has a simple belt around the waist, the Glass Armor has a tooled and engraved leather waistband.
