Banded Armor Set
The Banded Armor Set consists of 13 pieces for 91AC. Full set is 47 weight. It has superior AC to the Ringmail Armor Set and Chainmail / Iron Armor Set. Some plate class players prefer Banded over the Bronze Armor Set as a starter set for its reduced weight and sufficient AC. Reinforced Armor Set can be substituted for the face, feet and neck slots, being equal AC and better weight than their banded equivalents.
Created by smithing. Full set (including 2 bracers) takes 24 sheet metal. The highest trivial in the set is Banded Mail at 115.
Banded armor can be worn by the following classes: WAR, CLR, PAL, RNG, SHD, BRD, ROG, SHM, BER.
All races can wear all sizes of Banded Armor, with Small Banded Armor being the lowest weight, but equivalent in all other ways.
Crafted: Blacksmithing

Small and Large Banded Armor
The three types of banded armor is a hold over from old EQ, when different races needed different sized armor. They are all made the same way, but Small Banded Armor uses "Small" molds and Large Banded Armor uses "Large" molds.
