Armor

Armor is crafted at the advanced crafting table, using a variety of kinds of parts. Armor can be crafted into one of four slots, Head, Chest, Legs, or Feet, creating a Helm, Chest, Legs, or Boots.

As of update 6.7.2, only one of each item type can be used to contribute to a piece of armor's effectiveness. Multiple items of the same type may be used, but adding further items of the same type will only add passives and contribute towards the armor's aesthetic.

The 5 types of item that can be added are Plates, Cores, Padding, Inlays, and Passives. Plates are forged of metal and are the simplest, providing a bonus to armor equal to their tier. Cores are not as easy to obtain, but also provide a simple bonus to armor equal to their tier. Padding comes in a variety of flavors, most of which provide a bonus to Constitution, but some have other effects as well. Inlays require Cores to craft, and provide bonuses to different base stats depending on which Inlay you craft. The total bonus of any Inlay is equal to 2X it's tier, but some Inlays provide two 1X bonuses, while others provide one 2X bonus. Passives are items that do not provide direct stat boosts to armor, but instead provide passive abilities, like Luminous, from a Candle.
