Guard as primary? What %'s? Does higher % always give better protection but more weight?
I don't have the spare guard fur to test with.
Ground fur arms using padding and core at 100% extra gives
Weight:0.69
Durability: 166.33
Blunt : 32.63
Pierce: 29.49
Slash :29.08
Higher % is always more weight and more protection though I am not sure on the ratios.
With weapon crafting the damage and weight increases are linear with the number of bars of metal used in the crafting.
I would assume it is something similar with the armor but haven't done any calculations on it yet.
Currently using double ground fur scaled armor +100% the stats on the arms are
Weight: 1.21
Durability: 223.38
Blunt : 37.89
Pierce: 30.85
Slash :30.54
