*07/27/2003* I just added the new Luminescent Thaumaturgic Plate, Sunstone Gauntlets, and Auroric Runic Helm to the calculator. NOTE: The Luminescent Thaumaturgic Plate and Auroric Helm are activated values so make sure you don't try to bane/imp the armor with the calculator or you will get bad numbers.

Unfortunately I discovered I was wrong about sharded GSA as it relates to specific monster groups. I am muling my current Amuli for Acid/Pierce sharded GSA since I will get slightly better protection with it vs. my current setup (about 1% better). Even though the higher base AL of tinkered armor exceeds the protection of sharded GSA for hollows, any life-based damage abatement you can gain helps when fighting the new Olthoi Swarm. On a raw 1000 damage hit, the best case difference in damage (fully buffed) from warded to non-warded was 2 points per hit.

Also, please help me with true AL mod values for any piece of armor you see missing from my list. Drop me an e-mail, send me a PM on either my allegiance message board or at ACVault, or message me in-game as Rhesus. There is NO reason why you folks out there cannot give me some true AL mods and get a little credit in the process since Turbine fully discloses the values now!


The latest version of this armor level and damage abatement calculator now includes:
Turned gross damage back up to 1,000 to make damage abatement net values read more easily
Almost all craftable and quest related armor and shield items available via easy to use dropdowns
Impenetrability and global banes for armor and shields with individual overrides
Impenetrability and global banes for underclothing
Armor/Imperil Self, Life protections/vulnerabilities globally with individual overrides
Minor and Major Cantrips
Minor and Major Wards
A "Save %" button to allow the capture of one item's values so they can be compared side by side with other items
Graphical coverage display so you know what body parts an item protects including underclothing
Intelligent underclothing exclusions based on armor coverage

I`d like to thank Raedwulf for getting me interested in updating this thing again. He`s done some awesome work and deserves much credit for it. I would also like to thank the AC community at large for their ongoing support, feedback and help. Keep those armor items and their true AL mod values flowing in and I will continue to update this calculator. Of course, with all that said, feel free to scroll on down and give my calculator a try.

Sincerely,

Rhesus of Frostfell (proud member of the Paladins of Fate at The Call of Fate)
