Master crafted ancient Helean armor-   A character who has reached the master level Armor Smith 14 can construct Master-Crafted Ancient Helean Armor. This armor Will provide a damage reduction for each X5 production included into the armor up to a DR 3.   This armor is crafted from a level III component for each level I component normally used.  When making this armor a full forge is used and it costs five times the production for each Damage Reduction to craft up to a maximum of 3.


How does this sound?

For that price, it better be flat resistance

That's fair as far as the body damage goes since the resistance is tied directly to the armor.  What about the breach prevention that the skills currently grant?  Would that have a skill that would still grant that effect to armor?

What if the lower level Ancient Helean Armor still granted either lesser breach penalties or left the armor unbreachable?  The production cost could be changed as necessary.

I will continue my belief that 'Damage Reduction' will break the game, creating situations where low level monsters will be unable to affect players who can afford that armor and widen the gab between 'players who have friends in the game' and 'players who do not have friends in the game'.
