Talk:Shroomite Breastplate/@comment-3967802-20131021201836

I just shot 400 arrows with the Chlorophyte Helmet and the Shroomite Breastplate . I had 70 arrows left over, which means I had about 17.5% chance of not consuming ammo. This makes it worse than using either the helmet or the breastplate alone.

The only way I can figure this is that the Chlorophyte Helmet causes you to consume 80% (100% - 20%) of your ammo and the Shroomite Breastplate causes you to not consume 20% of that 80% (0.8 * 0.2 * 100%), so you only not consume 16%.

This makes absolutely no sense, but it's the only way I can get two 20% off to work out to ~17%. My 400 arrows isn't enough to be statistically significant for those numbers, but I don't have the patience to shoot more. It's pretty clear that you consume more than 60% of your ammo (or even 66%), so I'm going to stick to using only the Shroomite Breastplate.
