Since i noticed someone mentioned 29-35lb being 'obscenely light'

Anyone know how much this is worth?

some slightly dented imflass field-plate:

This ancient set of imflass field-plate shows the dents and marks of long use and repeated repairs. The uneven neck of the breastplate has been sanded and polished to smooth out the jagged edges where a helm once connected to the armor. You also notice a small enchanter's glyph.

+22, resistant to crushing attacks, vulnerable to shocking attacks. Weighs 25."

Half plate is normally 50lb so the armor has been lightened all the way. Full plate normally weighs in at 75lbs, so 29 would be obscenely light and probably what the person was referring to.

What looks problematic to me with the armor is the vulnerability to shock attacks. Adept motes and Ithzir scout lightning flares are more of a problem to plate users than crushing damage.

As a base +22 is closer to 4x than 5x so like 500k. The weight reduction is nice, maybe a million or two up. The wrong resistance/vulnerability hurts it a bunch, IMO. I'm not sure how much though.
