* But bronze helms are really, really, bad at keeping you alive. I wouldn’t walk around with one on my head if I were you.

^ Also special, but it’s not quite so stupid to wear these around all day.

Notes

1. Items are divided into categories based on how they are identified when vurdered. My experiments suggest that only one item from each category can be worn at a time, but that you can wear items from any number of categories, even those that overlap. For example, it is possible to wear trousers and a skirt at the same time, or greaves and trousers.

2. No promises on the accuracy of this info folks. I’ve done the best I could to get it right, but my other.evaluating.armour skill isn’t 300. If you get different vurdere results, or think I’ve put an item in the wrong category, please let me know.

Thanks to Birdy, Cuchulainn, Rumour, and Vital for their help in updating this

information since armour was changed.
