Armor

Pieces of  are items that reduce the amount of damage a player takes by increasing the player's defense. All armor is either crafted at a Workbench, at an Anvil, purchased from NPCs or dropped from monsters. An Accessory can also give 4 defense each with the reforge warding, adding up to 20 extra defense.

Armor items will not grant any defense when placed in the Social Slots, although aesthetic effects created by the armor will still occur. This does not include light given off from the mining helmet.

As of PC 1.1, chest plates of female player characters will differ in appearance from male characters by removal of the abdomen part. However, the helmet and leggings will look the same.

Calculations
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. On a critical hit, the damage is doubled after defense is taken into account.

Ex: Wood Armor (full set) = 3 defense / 2 = 2 (always rounding up) = 2 less damage taken
