WTK: Full Defender Armor.

[Tarimoth]

¡Want to Discuss!

This topic is for discussing the newly added house craftable, the Defender Armor. It is relevant in the Trade section because it's purpose is mainly to inform and discuss prices, and to keep information on this armor posted (possible buyers/sellers). Anything from how useful it is (difference from trans armor..?) and if it's worth the price to how you get 200-something-lumps, not to mention scales and HM can be discussed here.

The full suit will give the following stats:
Head armor: 67
Body armor: 88
Leg armor: 59

For your comparison:

Spoiler

Swadian Helmet: 64 head
Defender Helmet: 67 head
Fearsome Knight's helmet: 69 head
-
Transitional Armors: 70 body, 31 leg
Swadian Half Plate/Heraldic Transitional Armor: 72 body, 32 leg
Defender Breastplate: 76 body, 35 leg

Hi, I already crafted the Defender Helm, Boots and Gauntlets and I can tell you that it makes a hell lot of a difference in my opinion.
I've also noticed that your list of simplified materials is quite different to K4mi's Spreadsheet which i used to craft my gear and that the fearsome has 69 points not 65.
Hope this was helpful in any way and I think I would want to craft this amour as every point in armor is better as well as it looks bad ass.

Fearsome is +69 And it looks better

If you ask me the defender helmet fits the armor more than the fearsome...

Plus it lets you show off your EYES AND BEARD
Plus they made the belly look skinnier than it was so yeah im gonna make it in a year or two LOL

Fearsome is +69 And it looks better

Thank you for info, used Senni's legendary thread for fearsome's info. I did wonder at the bad stats. Will correct.

About Defender Breastplate (my opinion):
I think that +6 armor will not save from death, and 35 million is a lot for it, we can buy a few(12!!!) Transitional Armors.
And I personally do not like the view of armor. Transitional Armors looks much better.
It is better to buy VGS or AGS, and etc. But if you have a lot of money, and you have all the weapons, you can buy it.
But if you are not very rich, do not sell all their belongings for this armour .

I must admit, just like with the native Plate Armor, I bloody love the ugly, heavy armors. I believe that is just how they should look, cloth&colors be damned. If it makes you look fat, I love it all the more! Mighty's what I call it.

That being said, it's more than a few effin pennies
