v0.54a of DreamScapes Dimensions has introduced equipable armour and armour skills. You can learn an armour skill in the Adventurers Guild, the skills are light armour, medium armour and heavy armour. To learn medium armour you need to master light armour, and to learn heavy armour you need to master medium armour. In the same room you can purchase armour from a merchant.
Equiped armour will increase your armour class. The higher your armour class the more damage your armour negates in combat. Armour can be damaged in combat and this will reduce its effectiveness, lowering your armour class. Weapons that you wield can also be damaged in combat, also lowering their effectiveness and the amount of damage they inflict.
To keep your equipment in good condition a repair skill has been introduced. This can be practiced in the Adventurers Guild near to the armour shop. To use the skill you need to have a damaged piece of equipment in your inventory and click the repair button in the character information interface. The item may be repaired, the chances of success are relative to your proficiency with the repair skill. There is a chance to also further damage the item if you mess up the repair that badly.
