-Armor Ranks-

Armor Ranks will be determined by the weight of the armor. Armor weight will determine how much damage physical hits inflict.

Formula:

Bases:
(Cloth) = 1/2(iLvl)
(Leather) = 2(Cloth)
(Mail) = 2(Leather)
(Plate) = 2(Mail)

(Base) + (Upgrade) = (Base) + 1/2(Base)
(Base) + (Upgrade 2) = [(Base) + (Upgrade)] + 1/2[(Base) + (Upgrade)]


Weight Ranks:


ilvl 10 ||
5 Armor || Cloth

10 Armor || Leather

20 Armor || Chain Mail


ilvl 50 ||
25 Armor || Cloth

50 Armor || Leather

100 Armor || Chain Mail

200 Armor || Plate


ilvl 100 || Upgrades will only be available at max or close to max lvl.
50 Armor || Cloth
75 Armor || Mystic Cloth (Upgrade) "] *1.5 iLvl
112.5 Armor || Crystal-Weave Cloth (Upgrade 2) *1.5 iLvl

100 Armor || Leather
150 Armor || Scale (Upgrade) *1.5 iLvl
225 Armor || Crystal-Scale (Upgrade 2) *1.5 iLvl

200 Armor || Chain Mail
300 Armor || Double Chain Mail (Upgrade) *1.5 iLvl
450 Armor || Crystal Chain Mail (Upgrade 2) *1.5 iLvl

400 Armor || Plate
600 Armor || Platinum (Upgrade) *1.5 iLvl
900 Armor || Crystal Platinum (Upgrade 2) *1.5 iLvl



Rarity Ranks:


Garbage -5 iLvl
Common ±0 iLvl
Uncommon +5 iLvl
Rare +10 iLvl
Ultra Rare +15 iLvl
Epic +25 iLvl
God +50 iLvl







The initial armor will not count for or against the iLvl, it is the value of armor that that item will have at that iLvl

example: plate uses 1000 armor, but for tanking purposes we add 500, that extra 500 will deduct iLvl points.

Need a reduction formula.

%Reduction = (Armor / [10*Enemy_Level + Armor])*100

Now we need some insight on shields, since shields aren't necessarily mail or plate, they need to have their armor determined in a different way w/iLvl, not just double mail or something like that.

Lets use something simple:

Shield_Armor_Value = 10*iLvl

A lvl 1 shield will have 10 armor.
A lvl 25 shield will have 250 armor.
A lvl 50 shield will have 500 armor.
A lvl 100 shield will have 1000 armor.
An epic lvl 100 shield will have 1250 armor.
Epic w/1 upgrade...1875 armor.
Epic w/2 upgrades...2812.5 armor.
