Warden Robes

Layered steel over dark cloth with fur heavy at the shoulders. Weighty, but you can still move. Warden Robes top out Breda's clothing rack at 2450 Tria. They provide no stats. None of the ten pieces in the Clothing slot do, and this is the one where that matters most, because it looks more like armour than several actual armour pieces do. Dustwalker Vest at 1750 Tria is ragged cloth and gives DEF +8 with MDEF +9. Warden Robes are steel and fur and give nothing. The slot is cosmetic and the appearance is not a hint about function. Breda buys them back at 91 Tria. The full warden outfit with Warden Legguards runs 4900 Tria, the priciest set available and roughly what a Leather Satchel costs. Anyone weighing the two should note that bag space changes every gathering session and an outfit changes none of them. No level or stat requirement applies. The line about still being able to move is the only nod to the weight, and it is worth taking as flavour rather than mechanics, since Move Speed is untouched. Compare that with real heavy armour, where Pot Armor, Kettle Crown and Kettle Greaves each cost Move Speed -1.0 for their protection. Warden Robes give you the silhouette of that set without the penalty and without the defence. Who should buy them: a player at the end of the equipment curve, with tools, bags, a mount and a working farm, who wants the character to look the part. At that stage 2450 Tria is a small number. Who should not: anyone who read the description and thought this was armour. The Chest slot is where protection goes, and Warden Robes leave it empty.
