I have a pretty good plate armor, but I want to try sometimes some sneaky armor, can you give me some advice? Show me a screenshot if you can, and tell me where to buy the pieces
Also I want a charismatic clothes to wear in citys and win conversations and deals
Usually leather gloves, work boots, dark gambeson, lightweight dark brigandine, dark coif and anything that says black or dark is good for stealth. Just make sure not to wear any chain mail or metal plated armor and don’t wear too many layers of clothing as it’ll increase noise.
Basically, you have to build up 2-4 different outfits. I’m still working on completing each outfit, but basically, they are:
Heavy Armor: A mixture of plate and chain (mostly chain) that is used for serious combat. I have very few pieces still, but my goal is to have that 1 shiny suit of armor for when I really need extra protection.
Light Armor: A mixture of chain and leather, this is the armor I fight most of my battles in. Things like a sturdy gambeson, padded coif, chain hood, open-faced helm, padded pants, leather jerkin, gloves, boots, and the elbow guard things. (Blanking)
Stealth Armor: My current “stealth” set is mostly made of brown and green cloth and leather items. I need some items with more protection, but my noise is really good and I don’t have much trouble sneaking up on people in the dark.
Dress Attire: A decorative shirt, nice pants, decorative riding boots, and some other fine clothing items really raise your charisma. I treat them like my Sunday best and always try to remember to change into my “play” clothes so as to keep them clean and in good shape.
Once you’ve got these basics, you can just throw them on your horse (or chest) and change for the occasion. It really does pay (literally) to ride into town, rent a room, get your nice clothes out, do some shopping, and then change back into your travel clothes before you head out into the wilds.
Stealth and armor are basically opposites in this game. Best thing you can have that somewhat helps with both is strong leather, but even then there isn’t much help for either. Just have plain clothes for sneaking and heavy armor for combat and switch between them.
Silent boots (acquired from dead bandit). I use some of the Cuman armor
Once you get the stuffing perk in maintanance, you can get a heavy armour suit to about noise of 20-30 (I have a italian bascinet, nurenberg plate, hauberk, mail coif, padded coif, chaussee, riveted leg armour (i forgot the name), dark waffenrock and dark noble boots and sitting at 32 noise, 41 and 47ish visibilbity and such.
