Fix Weight on ringmail

[Peasant]

As many people may not have noticed Ring mail weighs way too much, I stumbled upon this today when filling up a big ringmail bod, I would get overburdened easily so i used the scales and heres what i found

Ringmail tunic 15 stones
Ringmail legs 15 stones
ringmail sleeves 15 stones!!!
ringmail gloves 2 stones

Now just for amusement Here is plate

Platemail chest 10 stones
platemail legs 7 stones
Platemail Arms 5 stones
Platemail gloves 2 stones

As you can clearly see something is wrong here, sleeves should not weigh more then a platemail tunic, so i suggest we lower the weight on ringmail, to something more reasonable such as

Ringmail tunic 7 stones
Ringmail legs 5 stones
ringmail sleeves 4 stones!!!
ringmail gloves 2 stones

The new weight is about the same as studded, Not too heavy and not too light Please give input

something is jacked up there if that is the correct weight.

I've noticed the insane weight of ringmail when filling bods. It is definitely true.

actually in real life ringmail weighs more than a lot of platemail.

what are we basing the theory that chain should weigh less than plate on if not real life?


I could care less how much it weighs, but if there is a problem with it that affects others then why shouldn't we fix it. How about you contribute instead of trolling around and posting worthless garbage.

[Cynical Machine]

yes, fix it plz

If ringmail weighs more than platemail then why doesn't ringmail take away more dexterity than platemail?

Because ringmail is considerably easier to move around in. Attach a 2x4 to your wrist and just below your shoulder (Arm pit) and see how easy it is to move, compared with having 15 pounds in various weights added all up and down your arm, without restricting your elbow/shoulder.

Also, Ringmail usually has a lot of padding under it, whereas Plate will usually have chainmail under it as well, and then some padding. Platemail is a bitch to move around in, but chain/ring isn't too bad. Take two backpacks, put one on the front of you, the other in back. Fill them up with 40lbs each. That's what it's like to move with chain/ring on.
