Leather armor is available for all classes, Knights have it by default, others can choose it as one of the starting skills. Later it can be taught in New Sorpigal's Blade's End guild (375), in Buccaneers' Lair guild on Misty Islands (500), in Silver Cove (Protection Services, 750) or Blackshire (Smuggler's Guid, 625).

Artifacts

	Name	Value	Type	AC	ID/Rep	Perk
	Galahad	20 000	Majestic Chain Mail	+38	15	Protection, +25 HP
	"Perhaps the finest chain mail created since the Silence, Galahad's material strength enchantments are so strong they are somewhat conferred upon the wearer's body, making it capable of withstanding much more abuse than normal."

Relics

	Name	Value	Type	AC	ID/Rep	Perk
	Apollo	30 000	Majestic Chain Mail	+46	20	+20 elemental resistances and luck, -30 endurance
	"This unique armor graces its owner with luck, helping him to escape the brunt of most elemental attacks.  It draws its energy, however, from the constitution of its wearer, making the wearing of this armor a risky proposition."
	Name	Value	Type	AC	ID/Rep	Perk
	Zeus	30 000	Golden Plate Armor	+64	20	+50 HP, SP and luck, -50 intellect
	"Perhaps this suit of armor was meant only for the Gods.  Worn at times by barbarian chieftains, the armor will increase the physical vitality and magical energy the wearer has at his disposal, but at a terrible cost.  House plants have been known to score higher on intelligence tests than wearers of this armor.  One would think that accidental death would surely follow such a precipitous loss of thought, yet the luck the armor bestows seems to prevent disaster.  Often the wearer of the armor becomes so stupid he forgets to remove it."
