Armor Hindrance!

[Anferis]

This is my armor inspect


Your careful inspection of some fitted midnight black casting leathers allows you to conclude that it is soft leather armor that covers the torso and arms.

You determine that you could wear the leathers around your chest. The leathers appears to serve some purpose.

It looks like this item has been mainly crafted out of leather.

Soft leather armor isn't listed under ?armor or on the site, so my question is what is it and why do I get %1 hindrance with it while having 4 AU ranks.

Also, is reinforced leather viable armor for sorcerers? Is there something higher I should be shooting for end-game? How much armor training if so, and other general stuff I might need to know :P

[Some Rogue]

Soft leather that covers torso and arms is full leather.

Do you have any armor accessories on? Anything on your legs at all? Leg coverage would bump it to reinforced. The minimum hinderance for sorcs with that is 1%.

I don't have an end game sorc, but I know a few that go to LBP. I believe for that you'd need 20 ranks.

[Anferis]

Ah, yes I just noticed I was wearing leg guards. Any chance that the +20 leg guards stack with the +20 armor?

[Some Rogue]

For defense purposes..no. It just means you gotta be over level 10 to wear it. :P

[Anferis]

Ah alright. So I might want to shoot for LBP end-game, but since I have the same coverage as reinforced I'm fine I guess. Thanks.
