Armor

Pieces of Armor are items that reduce the amount of damage taken by the player by increasing a player's defense. The damage reduction is equal to half of the total defense of the armor worn, rounded up to the nearest whole number. However, the damage taken can never be reduced to less than one point. Each set of armor offers a bonus when the complete set is worn. All armor is crafted at either an Iron Anvil or a Mythril Anvil.

Defense Calculation: If a player wearing full Iron Armor (+2 for the Helmet, +2 for the Greaves, +3 for the Chainmail, and a final +2 for the set bonus which totals at +9 defense) took a hit that would normally do 12 damage, it would only inflict 7 damage (12-4.5=7.5 rounded down to 7). However, if they took a hit that would normally do 4 damage, it would not negate the damage completely. Instead, the player would take one damage (As of 1.0.4).

Armor items will not grant any defense when placed in the social equip slots, although visual effects created by the armor will still occur ( ie ; flames created by Molten Armor ). As of the 1.0.6 patch, the Molten Armor and the Meteor Armor no longer glow.

 When crafting armor, craft the helmet and greaves first as they don't need as much material.

Crafting

The hallowed armor is crafted by using each of the new 1.1 armors (Cobalt, Mythril, Adamantite)

To craft the Hallowed 'mask' for the melee set you'd need to have all 3 of the previous armors' mentioned, helmets. Therefor to create the Hallowed mask you'd need - Cobalt Helmet, Mythril Helmet, Adamantite Helmet + 20 souls of sight obtained by The Twins.

The Greaves and Plate Mail are crafted in the exact same way but for the plate mail you will need 20 Souls of Might obtained from The Destroyer and for the Greaves you will need 20 Souls of Fright obtained from Skeletron Prime, all 3 of these bosses are really difficult.
