Medium Armor

Learn about the Medium Armor skill in Elona! We cover how it works, how to train it, and its benefits for your character. Get the most out of your gear!

Hey there! So, you're looking into Medium Armor in Elona? Smart move. It's a pretty neat skill that can really boost your survivability without making you a total slug. Basically, Medium Armor is tied to your Constitution. The main perk is that for every level you have in this skill, you get an invisible point of PV (Physical Vulnerability, think of it as damage reduction). This bonus kicks in when the total weight of your equipment is between 15.0s and 35.0s. Keep an eye on that weight! There's a bit of a trade-off, though. Being in that medium equipment weight zone reduces your Casting success rate by 8%. So, if you're a heavy magic user, you'll need to balance this out. How to Train Medium Armor: It's pretty straightforward: just wear medium armor! Every turn that passes while you're geared up in it will slowly train your Constitution and the Medium Armor skill itself, depending on its potential. Starting Out: Good news! All characters start with 4 levels in Medium Armor and 120% potential, so you're already on the right track. Elona+ Changes: If you're playing Elona+, things are a little different. The skill cap of 300 is gone, and each level gives you +1/4 PV. You gain skill experience when you take a physical hit that deals at least 1% of your max HP. Plus, every 50 levels of Armor skill (including Medium Armor) will decrease an attacker's weapon Pierce by 1%. Oh, and a cool bonus in Elona+: beating the main quest and hitting 35 levels in Medium Armor unlocks a special action that boosts your magic power by 20% and offers other benefits while wearing medium armor. Pretty sweet! Classes that use Medium Armor: Several classes start with a good foundation in this skill: * Warrior * Thief * Archer * Warmage * Priest Wishing for Medium Armor: If you get a wish, you can type `#med` to increase your Medium Armor level by 1 and train its potential. It's a quick way to boost your defenses! Keep an eye on your equipment weight, and you'll be tanking hits like a pro in no time!
