Armor is essential for reducing incoming damage and increasing your survivability. Daggerfall features several armor types: Leather, Chain, Plate, and Daedric. Each type offers different levels of protection and has varying weight penalties. Leather is light but offers minimal protection. Chain armor provides better defense at a moderate weight. Plate armor offers the best physical protection but is very heavy and can hinder stealth. Daedric armor is the strongest and often enchanted. Like weapons, armor also comes in different materials, with Daedric being the best. Your armor skill (e.g., Plate Armor) determines your proficiency with that type. Always wear a full set of matching armor for maximum protection. Enchanted armor can provide resistances, stat bonuses, or even spell effects, making it incredibly valuable. Remember to repair your armor regularly.
