Prefix bonuses relate to two things: item durability and magic bonus. The armor with a higher durability prefix will last longer in combat. For example, an indestructible tunic will last longer than a tempered tunic. If the armor has a skill bonus on it, the prefix refers to how much of the bonus you get. For example, a rugged leather tunic of macefighting gives a +6 bonus to macefighting.
* Note: an indestructible armor does not mean it is indestructible. It is just a description.

=== Armor Coverage ===
Each piece covers a certain amount of your body. It also determines the likelihood of taking armor damage in that area. Note: your armor rating is determined by ''all'' the armor you are wearing and when you are struck, your armor rating is used to determine damage reduction.

=== Base Armor Ratings ===
The maximum armor rating for each type of armor. This does not include magical bonuses.

(1) Dexterity loss is per item with the gloves/gorget giving the lowest loss and the chest giving the highest loss.
(2) Dragon Plate is available only during special events.

=== Armor Caps ===
Each class has armor caps. They can only equip up to a base level cap. This cap does not include armor rating bonuses. The cap does not stop you from wearing any different types of armor thus a mage can wear plate but since plate has a high base AR, they will likely not be able to wear much else in armor.

For example, your character has an armor cap of 8.

A base ringmail tunic is calculated as 17 and the coverage is 44% (see charts above). Your armor rating will be 17 x 0.44 = 7 AR (values are rounded to the nearest whole value). If you wear this, you will only be able to wear some gloves or a gorget. The lowest is leather gloves/gorget which is 12 x 0.07 = 1 AR. Anything else will put you over.

A ringmail tunic of invulnerability has a +10 bonus. The new calculation will be (17+10) x 0.44 = 12 AR.

=== Crafted Armor ===
Crafted armor is made by tailors and blacksmiths. These are good, durable armor that can last a long time but often gives lower bonuses. If the crafter upgrades the armor, they can receive a +2 (quality) or +4 (exceptional) bonus. Crafters also have a chance to make [[Crafting_Overview#Masterpieces|masterpiece]] armor. These armor are much hardier than normal, can be named by the crafter and can give a bonus all the way to +10. Use your magery skill to identify the bonus on the armor.

=== Magic Armor ===
Magic armor can only be found as loot. Before it is useable, it must be identified (by using your magery skill). Magic armor can have a bonus all the way up to +10.

=== Magic Restrictions ===
Mages and bards are not penalized for using metal armor.

Shields will block casting.
