Light Armor and characteristics

Conan Exiles General Discussion Feedback
1

Hello to all.
When we look at the list of light armor, what do we see?
Strenght - 1 set of armor
Agility - 3 sets
Vitality - 1 set
Accuracy - 2 sets
Grit - 2 sets
Encumbrance - 1 set
Survival - 2 sets

And 2 sets have mixed parameters, but only Assassin’s armor can be of limited interest, due to +2 to Strength.
The most important characteristics are Strength and Vitality. Darfari skin and some legendary things from the Unnamed City give Strength. Getting these legendary things is very tedious, but possible.
I am very upset that the Zingaran Freebooter is the only one light armor with Vitality.
I would like to get more variety of light armor with such characteristics as Strength and Vitality.
Hope other players want this too.

A subjective view. I tend to value Encumbrance and Grit over Strength. I’d love to have a Cold-resistant light armor with bonus to Encumbrance.

I go for looks… so most of stat bonuses don’t mean much.

I think Grit or Agi is my prefered. Acc for bows be nice if it was on armor I liked look of. XD

I agree with this.

Of course, this is a subjective view. In general, the best solution, it seems to me, is to separate the characteristics from the armor. To enable the player at the crafting stage to choose the preferred characteristic.

What’s the point to have light set with encumbrance?
Light set is useful only for fighters in PvP. Encumbrance sets are needed for carriers and carriers don’t use light armor because need more armor for survival

Harvesting in Solo mode/PvE. The less my armor weighs, the more stuff I can carry. I’ve ~1200 hours of solo play time, and basically all of that has been in light armor. In PvE I can pick my fights, so I don’t necessarily die during harvesting trips even if I’m not wearing lots of armor (and I can get to ~60 % damage reduction with just light armor, anyway). Sorry if I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time.

Climbing too. I got myself splattered the other day forgetting I was wearing medium until I was up high enough up a wall in UC to hurt and paying no attention to stamina…

Which one? I’ve been looking for one the whole time :smile:.
I hate having to use full medium when I’m the encumbrance man in a raid. I’d love to go with 3 pieces light and two medium.

I wear 99% light armor… for every reason. I often go half naked, just to carry more stuff.

Maybe they could do a merchant armor, light armor with little stachels on legs (hips) and chest pieces includes backpack, instead of head slot. With Enc Stat added on.
Give it two versions.
One Fur for Cold, and One more light cloth for heat.

Light armour and Relic hunter chest and legs give encumbrance bonus :https://conanexiles.gamepedia.com/Armor

For climbing it’s better to use the climbing gears without any other armour.

Oh I didn’t think about the normal one :sweat_smile:

Nope. Climbing gear and 3 pieces light, flexibility kits on all of them. Almost infinite stamina for climbing
