Is copper armore any good ?

[Corentin Nemy]

Well It's a bit of a direct question bit i'm in general not sure about many things armore wise... Basically the game give a lot of option for armore and tier and all but i' have hard time understanding what armor should I choose (currently entering bronze age)

Well it's more that, with my current understading... wood and copper armors will protect you only from lower enemy attack and basically unless against wild life like wolves and bear..; but their draw back are constant, so for me so far it's seems that not wearing any armors is straight up better than wearing something.

So what can you tell me about the different type of a armor (lamellar, brigantin, scales, plates) and are they really usefull ?

I presume you've checked against the stats in the wiki:

Your armour requirement may also rely on the class you choose. For example both Malefactor and Clockmaker have the Frail trait, which reduces your HP.

I haven't tried all the armour, I've used copper chain, and bronze plate and while both offer decent ish protection, I find the debuffs in health regen, hunger and movement not to be worth the effort of making and wearing them. A lot will depend on your playstyle too. Are you using melee, do you rely on ranged, are you happy to "leeroy jenkins" a cave or do you take your time and are more cautious.

Don't make Copper armor is my advice. I don't make armor typically until I get to iron, but I can usually get to iron before my leather is done. I wouldn't make anything less than bronze armor if I were you.

Well as a beginner I'm still very far away from Iron and don't want to like...speed run my way up to iron. but in the mean time the only thing that can really kill me are wolf and other animal who seems to not care about your armor... (which I find rather crazy, even I IRL think I probably won't die against a  wolf if I were given a copper spear and armor... )
