=====Equipment - Armour=====

The prices given here apply to starting characters. Once you have begun play you will need to speak to the relevant NPC during uptime or a referee during downtime as the prices will fluctuate depending on your reputation.\\
\\
Characters with the armoursmithing skill and a suitable toolkit can upgrade any light armour to its heavy equivalent at a cost of 1.5 times the difference between the two prices in either cash or armour parts.\\
