Leather Properties

Had an argument with someone, but just to confirm - all leather, no matter the source, has the same protective value when made into armor, right? Dragon leather armor is worth more, but isn't actually more durable or provide more protection than kitten leather? I mean, I know the quality level adds to the Armor User skill or whatnot. (Note to self: investigate mode where dragon leather armor provides fire immunity.) Ancient History 15:39, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Leather and chitin are separate materials and actually have different properties, so leather armor does not have the same properties as chitin armor. However, it does appear that all types of leather are equivalent to one another, as the creatures themselves don't appear to alter the properties of their corresponding leather materials - cat leather armor would provide the same protection as elephant leather armor. --Quietust 16:00, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I read somewhere that leather made from fireproof creatures is fireproof. Haven't confirmed it or anything, but it might be worth looking into. --Theothersteve7 15:20, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Try using fire imp leather in arena mode, and dropping magma on the poor bugger wearing it, haven't tried dragon leather, but should be findable in raw. Always had it being left around even after the corpse burns off. Nethercap equipments don't stays around, though, I think it either loses it's cold property after being manfactured, or arena mode's a bit odd. As far as I know, chitin's got same stats as bone, according to raw, which's better than leather (I believe ). However, fire/magma proof don't really provide additional protection against such horrible effect of inferno, but at least it won't burn... AutomataKittay 01:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

Chitin

Has anyone been able to use chitin to make leather products besides armor? Chitin crafts, chitin bags? Ancient History 03:31, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

I was disappointed to see that the forgotten beast leather was only worth 5. 5? Come on! It should be at least as valuable as that of a dragon! I assume the meat and other biproducts are also worthless?--Kwieland 04:41, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Forgotten Beasts have value of only 1, as far as I know, I don't think there're any way to 'adjust' the value since it's randomly genned AutomataKittay 01:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
