I'm looking to get the least hindering set of LC armor possible with Lumium. I will provide the metal, just need someone skilled enough to pull it off. Also, if someone is able to post an appraisal of Lumium hauberk/balaclava and gloves, that would be awesome.

You will want to go with a robe for least hindering.

I am guessing robe, gloves, vambraces, balanclava (I don't think you can make sleeves as LC?)

Gotcha. Was not aware of the difference between hauberk hinderance and individualized pieces like that. That would work...kinda. I do want a full set of LC for certain things, but i also train leather which is currently my #1 armor. I initially thought hauberk because it covered the same body parts as my perfect storm bull leathers i use. I guess what i first need to figure out before i get the lumium gear forged is which pieces i actually need >.<

End goal i guess would be somewhat even simultaneous LC and leather training. I've been using the leathers i mentioned above, lc balaclava and lc gloves. LC isnt training quite as fast as i'd like it to, so i obviously need to ditch the leathers if i want the training to be more evenly distributed i think.

The closest you are going to get to even training is to have leather torso, and LC head/hand/leg armor. You might be able to add LC arm armor.

Can't get forged LC greaves - would have to go for store bought or an old forged pair.

I have armor appraisals at the link below. If you're interested and want to talk, feel free to try and snag me IG, or ask on the gweths in Crossing, that'll usually get word my way.

<<an old forged pair>>

Hindrance is a main concern of mine as well. For reference here's the old forged 3.0 density chain greaves I wear:



The chain greaves are light chain.

The greaves look like they offer protection for the following areas:

right leg
left leg

You feel certain that some chain greaves appear to impose insignificant maneuvering hindrance and minor stealth hindrance, offering:
good protection and high damage absorption for puncture attacks.
moderate protection and high damage absorption for slice attacks.
good protection and high damage absorption for impact attacks.
moderate protection and very good damage absorption for fire attacks.
moderate protection and very good damage absorption for cold attacks.
low protection and very good damage absorption for electrical attacks.

If you were only wearing some chain greaves your maneuvering would be insignificantly hindered and your stealth would be minimally hindered.

You are certain that the chain greaves are appreciably susceptible to damage, and are practically in mint condition.

The chain greaves are made with metal.
The chain greaves are quite supple.
You are certain that the chain greaves weighs exactly 18 stones.
You are certain that the chain greaves are worth exactly 75 kronars.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.
