General Information

This information only applies after 1.6!

The third rank of Redguard heavy armor looks quite similar to the second, but with a little more detail, and another layer of plate along the side. It retains an appearance of mobility and protective functionality, with a slightly more intricate appearance.

What are the components?
Redguard heavy steel armor has the same features as iron, in that it consists of segmented plate layers held together with rivets, the edges beveled. This tier also features some engraving, and another layer lower down the torso to cover up more of the squishy insides. Additionally, below the plate, we now have a layer of chainmail – a chain shirt fastened together in the center. Down the arms, we’re now also seeing some stitched and reinforced leather.

For this set, the sleeves have become full length chain, and there is another segment of plate added to the side. In addition, we’ve seeing some elegant curly engraving along the gorget and chestplate.

Considerations when dyeing
This piece dyes quite prettily, but do keep in mind that the tertiary dye for it seems more like an afterthought and does not feature prominently. Everything dyes appropriately and looks nice.

What dyes where?
The primary dye colors the majority of the metal plate and the chain mail; the secondary dye colors the trim and beveled edges, and the tertiary dye colors the center stitch line leather and the groin-flap leather.
