Every number is a row of the Bellwright Wiki's Armors list. Armor value is the wiki's “Armor” column; movement penalty is its “Movement penalty” column, in percent of speed.

On this page

All armor, ranked

The formula: score = Armor − k × movement penalty, where the penalty is counted in percentage points and k is the “Movement penalty costs” slider. At k = 0 the ranking is plain Armor; at k = 1 each 1% of slowdown costs one point of armor. The best-set panel picks the top piece in each of the 5 slots (Head, Torso, Legs, Hands, Feet) under your Strength and the slider.

Pick a slot or a class, or set your Strength so pieces you cannot wear yet drop out. “Make it” opens the crafting calculator on that piece.
