Ring mail is a moderately priced step above leather in ordinary-damage absorption. In the infobox, p is the individual suit's enchantment.[1]
Generation
Ring mail 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 200 Au.[6]
Description
Wear it in the Armor slot. Its normal-damage absorption is 3; its contribution to defense is your enchantment minus 2. 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
The 200 Au shop price buys one more absorption than leather, but adds 100 weight and another point of defense penalty. It is useful when repeated ordinary hits are wearing down your health and the extra burden does not slow you. Saving for chain mail gains another absorption, but costs another 200 Au and repeats the weight and defense trade.
Compare all body armor and shields when assembling your defenses.
