I got one that called for "15 plate armors"

I made 15 of the top half out of plate and it says wrong item, what gives?

hmmm, isn't female armor called "plate armors" ?

the male chest plate is usually just called plate.

of course, I could be wrong.

There isn't anything called "Plate armor" i figured that the breast plate was good enough.

yeah, "plate armor" means fem plate and "platemail" means male plate

wal now buckeroo, looks lak yew figgered wrong.

hehe.

the menu doesnt say "plate armor" but the actual item does once it's made

good lord someone should fix that, on the menu it says female breast plate i think.

Yeah, that definitely needs to be changed. The problem is that I'm not really sure what I should change it TO. Should female platemail actually be named 'female platemail'? Any opinions on this?

well then male plate would need to be "male platemail"
we do need a better name

How about platemail chest (for male plate) and platemail breastpiece (for female plate)? Basically it's saying the same thing but we would know the difference between them two.

I suppose there are other words we could use instead of "chest" like "cuirass" or "hauberk" but those are not very common, and it's unlikely they'd help most people differentiate between male and female chestpiece in any event.

Good words, Atei! But, how about reducing just a tiny bit more by removing the word "mail"?

plate chest
plate bustier

I go with bayn, we should also be able to smelt items back into some ingots.

You may want to start a new thread for this. Back to the subject at hand, how about renaming plate gloves to platemail gauntless (since that is what they really are).

platemail and plate armour are different items. plate should have appreciably higher ar than platemail. at least until its so badly bashed about the joints seize and you make like a statue.
