Flak jacket is the cheapest body armor sold in Rampart, providing a small amount of absorption without a built-in defense penalty. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Flak jacket 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 10 Au.[6]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 1; its contribution to defense is your enchantment with no fixed penalty. 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
At 10 Au, a known-safe jacket is a small initial purchase when food and a weapon still need funding. It weighs half as much as soft leather, but removes only one point from each ordinary hit. Switching to leather gains one absorption at the cost of one defense and 100 weight; against frequent weak attacks, that trade can matter more than the low price difference.
Compare all body armor and shields when assembling your defenses.
