Cuirbouilli is a suit of body armor with the same combat properties as soft leather armor, despite its higher shop price. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Cuirbouilli can be found among randomly generated treasure, including the random possessions of treasure-bearing monsters, and may appear in Knight's Pawn Shop. A noncursed acquirement effect can create body armor; a blessed effect lets you select this type, but the resulting item's blessing and enchantment still follow its own generation rules.[2][3][4][5]
Julie's sells a fully identified, uncursed +0 suit for 60 Au.[6]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 2; its contribution to defense is your enchantment minus 1. These are different protections: enchantment makes you harder to hit but does not increase absorption. See Defense and protection for the damage floor, burden and attacks that bypass armor.[7][8]
It has no additional worn magical power. Its familiar appearance identifies the type, but a random find can still conceal its enchantment and curse. A cursed suit sticks when worn; full identification lets you judge the individual item before that commitment.[9][10][11]
Strategy
Do not spend 60 Au on a +0 suit while Julie's 20 Au soft leather is available: their absorption, bulk penalty and weight are identical. A found cuirbouilli can still be worth wearing if it is safely identified and has better enchantment. That enchantment improves defense, not its two-point absorption; a costly name alone does not make it an upgrade.
Compare all body armor and shields when assembling your defenses.
