Ore properties when crafting armor

[Lord Ser Brightblade]

Ok, armour is a bit harder to grasp than the weapons. Again, I used a Legendary Smith on Test Center to make these items.

I started out testing with ring gloves to eliminate as much variation as i could. I tested the ring, chain, and plate tunics and they supported my conclusions so far. All items were made with Exceptional quality.

Results:(Physical, Fire, cold, poison, energy, other)

Iron

4, 4, 2, 5, 6

5, 5, 3, 5, 3

4, 5, 1, 6, 5

4, 3, 1, 8, 5

Conclusion: Irion supplies a total of 21 points to total resistance in varying degrees across the board. Cold seems to get a consistantly weak rating.

Dull Copper:

11, 2, 4, 6, 4, 20% lower requirements

11, 5, 1, 6, 4, 20% lower requirements

9, 5, 2, 8, 3, 20% lower requirements

Conclusion: Dull Copper gives 20% lower requirements and a total of 27 resistance, spread across the board. Physical seems to get a consistently high rating, and cold still seems to suffer most of the time.

Shadow:

6, 6, 2, 5, 10

6, 7, 3, 5, 8

6, 4, 2, 9, 8

Conclusion: Shadow gives a total of 29 resistance. Shadow is particularly strong against Energy, Weak against cold.

Copper:

7, 5, 2, 11, 5

4, 4, 3, 11, 8

5, 4, 3, 12, 6

Conclusion: Copper gives a total of 30 resistance. Coopper is very stron against poison and weak against cold

Bronze:

7, 3, 8, 7, 6

6, 5, 8, 8, 4

8, 3, 6, 8, 6

Conclusion: Bronze gives a total of 31 resistance and is by far the best against cold attacks. It is also one of the most evenly spread.

Gold:

5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 40 Luck, 30% lower requirements

5, 5, 4, 6, 7, 40 Luck, 30% lower requirements

4, 5, 5, 6, 7, 40 Luck, 30% lower requirements

Conclusion: Gold only gives 27 total resistance(equivilent to dull) and seems very consistant with the dispersement, particularyl posion and energy. That could be to a small sampling though. It makes up for the low total with a lot of luck and 30% lower requirements.

Agapite:

6, 8, 3, 8, 7

6, 8, 4, 7, 7

8, 7, 3, 8, 6

Conclusion: Agapite gives 32 total resistance.

Verite:

7, 8, 3, 8, 7

8, 7, 5, 8, 5

7, 6, 5, 9, 6

Conclusion: Verite gives 33 total resistance.

Valorite:

8, 5, 5, 9, 7

9, 3, 6, 8, 8

7, 3, 5, 11, 8

Conclusion: Valorite gives the most total resistance with 34. It is strongest against poison and weakest against Fire

it seems that each individual resistance has a set range that its rating must fall in. Which means don't bother looking for a Verite piece of armour with 29 physical and 1s in the rest.
