Wing armor slots

There are 13 armor slots in Unwritten Legends. Wearing a full set of plate armor would require 702 skill points with a neutral strength bonus.

Nymphs and brambles have 2 wing slots, for a total of 15! However, I'm not sure exactly how the math on them works. Wings inherit the armor value from the back slot, but I don't know if this means additional skill points are required. Munin, how did you determine that 702 number? I'd like to see if it holds true for Demens. --Dorandraco (talk) 18:46, 8 June 2025 (UTC)

Wings don't use armor slots anymore, and were converted to the "back" slot for purposes of aiming; enemies can no longer target wings for damage and so they no longer need an armor slot. Wing-slots are only used for particular worn items. The same goes for tails.

The 702 is simply 54 (cost per slot for plate armor) * 13 (amount of armor slots). You'll then have to subtract from that number if you have a strength bonus, or add to it if you have a penalty. So if you have a bonus of 64 (I believe that's the highest, which belongs to Valek and Sere gharkins), you'd only need 640 skill to wear full plate. With a penalty of -61 (I believe that's the lowest for Bramble sylphs), you'd need 763 Armor skill to wear full plate without encumbrances.
