Forgotten Stories Armor

Iron Helmet requires 6 Iron Ores, Iron Chestplate 15, and Iron Leggings 6: the three published recipes total 27. The Chestplate also lists the quest Justice In The Area as an alternative obtainment route. If you already receive that piece from the quest, the remaining Helmet and Leggings recipes total 12 Iron Ores. Chestplate lists Speed −0.15; Leggings lists Speed −0.10.

27 and 12 are recipe sums, not a promise that each recipe or quest is currently available. No quest walkthrough or combined armor-resistance formula is established here. Keep the two Speed penalties visible when planning a build; the removed positive weapon Speed bonuses do not remove armor penalties.

Its card gives two obtainment routes: craft with 15 Iron Ores, or complete Justice In The Area. It lists Defense +2 and +10% Fire, Wind, Earth and Slash resistance, with Speed −0.15.

Water and Blunt resistance are not listed for this piece. The source does not provide the quest giver's coordinates or every quest objective; do not follow an invented route.

Both list Max Runes +1. The Mask requires 4 Living Bark and lists +5% Water, Wind and Earth resistance. The Plate requires 15 Living Bark plus 1 Emerald, and adds Max Mana +2, Defense +1 and +12% Water, Wind and Earth resistance.

Vorant Plate also lists Fire Resistance −20%. More Mana and rune capacity do not remove that drawback or automatically unlock spells.

It lists a cost of 3 silver and +7% each for Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Slash and Blunt resistance. Those six entries describe this piece, not every damage type in the game.

No Order, Chaos or Void resistance is listed. Do not describe the piece as protection against all elements or assume all armor percentages simply add together.

No armor-penalty removal was announced in the checked weapon note. Iron Chestplate still lists Speed −0.15. Check the character's displayed Speed after equipping it before relying on an extra-turn threshold.

The weapon announcement is about positive weapon Speed gains. It is not evidence that armor penalties disappeared, and listed equipment lines are not a complete stacking formula.
