View source for Banded Armor Set

{{Classic Era}}

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#Banded_Armor|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.
