Scale armour

Scale Armour is actually an oddball. It isn't really a complete set of armour. Instead, it is more a upgrade for the chest and head part of the Chain Armour. In these places however, the Scale Armour does good work, and protects even better. Almost all weaker weapons a simply deflected by the scales, making it a very good protection. On the negative side, it is more expensive and heavier than the chain variant, only useable for the more wealthy and stronger warrior.

History
Scale armour was introduced in Ultima V.

Complete set (Ultima VII)
By Ultima VII, A complete set of Scale Armour contains the following pieces. The numbers listed after indicate the relative effectiveness of the armour (taken from Vetron's Guide to Weapons and Armour):
 * Scale Armour (2)
 * Closed Helmet (3)

For the other body parts, pieces from other armour classes have to be used, because they don't exist in a scale variant.
