God Auction Amor

[bubba]

Trying to determine value of this armor I acquired from god auction some years back.

a set of storm grey adamantine coat-of-plates with silver rivets
electrical flares
This storm grey leather armor coat has been crafted using hundreds of overlapping adamantine plates dyed a muted silver hue. Each scale is riveted with a trefoil pattern, resulting in a set of armor with impeccable finish and eye-catching contrast. Buckled leather closures on each side and at the shoulders allow considerable adjustment for a comfortable fit.

Here is what it does when struck with a plain metal weapon -

Sheruvian harbinger hits you, but its broadsword shatters into a thousand pieces against the incredibly hard surface of your adamantine coat-of-plates!" This was the third time the harbinger swung his sword at me.

Any help would be appreciated.

Enchant and armor base would help. Adamantine armor just sold off the shelves for 30k bloodscrip which is about equal to 30m. If this was from a God auction I'm assuming it has a higher enchant then base adamantine. Need more info to give you an accurate appraisal.

I believe this is +17 with electrical flares and carries a chance to disarm attacker or shatter when struck with non magical metal weapons.

Your careful inspection of a set of storm grey adamantine coat-of-plates with silver rivets allows you to conclude that it is rigid leather armor that covers the torso, arms, legs, neck, and head.

I didn't think adamantine armors could be based off brig/leather. Adamantine should be chain and up I'd think.

I don't know much about adamantine but I do have voln brig which is a Coat of Steel Links (edit: coat of plates actually) and the inspect says its made out of steel. When I re discovered it in my locker o,thought it was chain at first.

They get pretty creative with some of these items.

[bubba]

It appears to be brig but it may just be plates of adamantine attached with rivets as the description reads. There was a couple of different sets sold at that auction.

adamantine brig was sold off the shelf this duskruin also.

being a brig, most prefer padding for that asg and due to the high cost of enchanting, as amazing a concept adamantine is. it's just not practical and overall holds little value above normal armor.

If I have to put a price, I'd say 20-30m. I don't think it'll get more than that from an auction in this market. especially with 6x hcp brig available for 20-25m.

Brigandine can be metal plates.

[hello]

From wikipedia...

A brigandine is a form of body armour from the Middle Ages. It is a cloth garment, generally canvas or leather, lined with small oblong steel plates riveted to the fabric.

The form of the brigandine is essentially the same as the civilian doublet, though it is commonly sleeveless. However, depictions of brigandine armour with sleeves are known. The small armour plates were sometimes riveted between two layers of stout cloth, or just to an outer layer. Unlike armour for the torso made from large plates, the brigandine was flexible, with a degree of movement between each of the overlapping plates. Many brigandines appear to have had larger, somewhat 'L-shaped' plates over the central chest area. The rivets, or nails, attaching the plates to the fabric were often decorated, being gilt, or of latten, and sometimes embossed with a design. The rivets were also often grouped to produce a repeating decorative pattern. In more expensive brigandines the outer layer of cloth was usually of velvet. The contrast between a richly dyed velvet cloth and gilded rivet heads must have been impressive and, unsurprisingly, such armour was popular with high status individuals.

Modern flak jackets and ballistic vests are based on the same principle: a protective cloth vest containing metal plates.

Brigandine seemed to be a more 'high-class' armor since it can easily be created to look like regular clothing, was light, flexible, and most importantly comfortable. Probably protected better than chain, but whatever.

So...for informational purposes...I bought a set of adamantine brig and had the ASG changed to LBP for a project piece for my ranged wizard. It is a adamantine-scaled leather breastplate. So, it can definitely be scale armor. As a side note on adamantine...enchanting it is pretty difficult for a player character and using PP to enchant it cost twice the amount, so having it +17 (it's naturally +7) is pretty valuable, I'd say. The lightning flares will make it unable to be padded though. Probably nearly impossible to be ensorcelled at that enchant and with flares.

It really depends on the metal in the Brig. Chain was damn good protection, especially against arrows and stuff, where as brig has a lot more exposed spots. Still, if you have lots of high quality metal plates on there it could be better, although it'd be heavier by that time and you'd basically be wearing weak plate mail.

I bought one of the two sets of adamantine brig that sold this past duskruin. The other one bought was asg changed to a leather bp. First was 40k, mine 44k script.

Fun armor, but in my opinion for it to be top tier you have to get it at it's base. I.e. Off the shelf and then work it up they way you want, at a huge cost.

At present state I think it is a unique set that to an interested party will hold value, but it needs to be de-flared, then padded and Sadie enchanted to move it into top tier.

The reason you can fetch a price for it is it's incredibly rare. I don't believe it's ever sold off the shelf before. Really great opportunity to make a set your own, and if you missed it, this is another opportunity, but think potentially "years" to get it to where you want, how many de-flare merchants are there...

what level would you have to be to even be able to wear this armor?

scale armors are weird. I have a set of veil iron studded or cuirbolli, i forget, that i found in reim. Inspects as veil iron.

[bubba]

Thank you all for your comments and input. This armor has set in a locker for 8 years and I really had no idea what it was all about.

[Crime]

This stuff is a pain in the ass at every turn, but you just can't get it anywhere.

Don't under value it.

It's incredibly rare, and for example a GOS redux rogue would have a ball with it (while they dream of de-flaring it LOL).

[Peppwyn]

I'm working on a paladin for adamantine armor and shield (currently +17) in plat ... can't wait to see this combo in action.

damn so much history. A++ thread
