: As far as I can tell, greaves are the Plate class upgrade to leggings, which are Chain class lower body armor. Unlike upper body armor however, dwarves don't appear to be able to wear both leggings and greaves at once and will drop their leggings in favour of a set of greaves when set to Plate armor.

Does anyone know the rules of where you can wear each piece of armor? For example, can you wear a high boot and leggings? or only low boots with leggings? Do you need to make two boots? --Mitchy 20:30, 9 November 2007 (EST)

You can wear high boots with leggings. Leggings and high boots have different layers. --JT 17:15, 11 November 2007 (EST)

As far as I can tell, greaves are the Plate class upgrade to leggings, which are Chain class lower body armor. Unlike upper body armor however, dwarves don't appear to be able to wear both leggings and greaves at once and will drop their leggings in favour of a set of greaves when set to Plate armor. --TangoThree 14:03, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Soldier

I think some of this article, specifically that stuff in the Using armor section, should be moved over to an article more dedicated to soldier preferences. As it is, it's describing everything about arming civilians with weapons instead of simply talking about armoring civilians; that content seems more appropriate for an article about soldiers or the hunting article. --JT 17:15, 11 November 2007 (EST)

Verified

I can verify that whan setting dwarves to chain, they wear gauntlets --Nog 16:21, 12 November 2007 (EST)
