Polished Bone Torso: Difference between revisions

A '''Polished Bone Torso''' is piece of [[Armor]] for the [[Guardian]] faction, worn in the torso slot. All enemies Torsoable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Polished Bone Torsos, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.

Players who have chosen the Guardian faction are able to receive Polished Bone Torsos in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Cryoknight]] factions will receive Polished Bone Torsos much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity armor for their own faction.

Polished Bone Torsos are also able to be crafted by the [[Armorer]] profession, at an item level up to the Armorer level of the crafter.

The visual appearance of a Polished Bone Torso is dependent only on its level. Polished Bone Torsos crafted by the Armorer profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Polished Bone Torso.

As a piece of Armor, Polished Bone Torsos have resistance stats for all 6 damage types. The total resistance of a Polished Bone Torso obeys a rigid formula with no variation:

*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

This total resistance is divided up between the 6 damage types with some variation for each individual value. Since the armor is for the Guardian faction, the [[File:Cryonae damage icon.png|18px]] Cryonae resistance will be on average 20 points lower than that of the other damage types. See [[Armor]] for a more detailed explanation of how resistances are calculated.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of a Polished Bone Torso is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus a Polished Bone Torso at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have exactly the same total resistance of '''370'''.

The Polished Bone Torso is able to be dropped by any monster that can access the [[Equipment drop table]].
