General Information

This information only applies after 1.6!

The tier 3 Orichalc armor presents a significantly more ornate appearance than the Iron and Steel, but is still unmistakeably Orsimer in appearance. This is the first iteration that pays homage to Malacath, the patron diety of the Orsimer, though the design is abstract enough that one could make the claim that it symbolizes some other diety.

What are the components?
The Orsimer Orichalc chestplate has become much more ornate, but the basic design is still the same; mail sleeves, a heavy chestplate with a gorget and high neck, a leather girdle, and fur trimming at the sides between the chest and back. The chestplate itself features more trim and a circular motif intended to symbolize Malacth; there is now also more to the leather component, as this iteration has added leather bracers to the mix.

Considerations when dyeing
The tertiary dye on this armor – the leather girdle and leather straps – has a tendancy to be muddled. Additionally, the fur at the sides still does not change color at all; this is much the same as the Steel set in things to watch out for.

What dyes where?
The primary dye colors the chestplate and the chainmail. It also dominates the gorget and neckpiece. The secondary dye colors the accent trim, and the tertiary dyes the girdle/straps and bracers.
