Toxicologist Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Hmm... There is a high-classed armour set (full helm, platebody, platelegs, etc.), bu the low-classed armour set doesn't seem to be complete. SHouldn't there be chain legs too, to complete the picture? Maybe a lame and useless suggestion, but just wondering. Why do you resist? My experiments are only helping humanity push the boundaries of the Art of Toxicology... you should be proud to be one of my victims. ~Toxicologist~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrealist Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 i'm not sure if they had "chain legs" as such, but they did have someting called "Hauberk mail" which (i believe) is a type of light armor made from metal scales. if that kind of thing was done for legs, i'd agree. so yes, i like this suggestion. perhaps it shouldn't hinder a ranger as much as plate legs.

Since chainmail is designed to give rangers an armour bonus without a penalty (with no bonus), this would be nice too. Great for low to mid level hybrids.

Lord_Muijs Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 What do u mean bythe low-classed armour set doesn't seem to be complete?he means that there should be full chain. chain coif would be cool. if theyd remove range bonus and added it to ranger bows this would be a really good choice for rangers vs melee guys. it would give no negative, but also no positive mage def bonuses. would also be cool for melee/range hybrids that do have some defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_D_G_E_1039 Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 In rs, they had chain skirts, though they gave the same bonuses of legs... But I see what youre saying :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spongehead91 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 The only chainleg armour is Guthan's at the moment... I've stopped playing RuneScape. KoL's better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxicologist Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 Yeah... there is a high level armour set (full helm, platebody, platelegs and maybe kiteshield) but no low level armour as a set (medium helm, chainmail, square shield... where's chain legs to complete the picture?).

Thats like the exact same thing as your first post... Who ever said there'd be two "full sets" of armour? I really dont think chain legs and skirts are needed. They'd be useless, since the "new" armour would be made of metals, like we have, but would have lower stats... So where is the use? Rune plate legs and skirt are already cheap enough as it is.

Toxicologist Posted November 4, 2005 Author Share Posted November 4, 2005 I know that it is rather pointless, but I am a perfectionist, so yeah... And yes, I know I have an annoying habit of repeating myself... >< Why do you resist?

AThousandLies Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 I think it's a good idea. But would they be smithable? Or obtainable from drops and whatnot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King2004 Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Well the old Chainmails where smithable (y are they removed anyhow?) But I dont think the new ones should be cheaper than the ordinary armour pieces (plate legs) I rather say that these chain armour will be archer armour because you can move better in it, so that they should be less good in defense bonusses and they have a small archer bonus. That gives low level archers the opportunity to use some more defensive armour which will protect them better in the wilderness against melee-based warriors but they still have a small bonus in ranged so they dont get badly affected, its like the defensive version of dragonhidearmour then. The armour will still be bad against magic of course.. Cyah King 2004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 About the chainmail. I reccomend that it give a stat boost to users wielding a crossbow. The bloody thing needs at least a little bit of a boost. Most crossbowmen wore chainmail anyways.

archimage_a Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Most everyone wore chainmail until plate came out(real) http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runesmithie Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Most everyone wore chainmail until plate came out(real) Until you realize the flexibility of the chainmail allowed them to be mobile and have good defense at the same time I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

archimage_a Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 Then they made interlocking sheets of metal that meant that the new english yew longbow wouldn't kill them. Chainmail is old, it was used as protection from small arrows and even then it wasn't that good http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.
