Bone Armor

Bone Armour is found in Ultima IX, or can be made by a mage near Valoria. The armour looks quite excotic, but really protects, as long as someone has nothing against disturbing the peace of the dead (so better not enter Covetous dressed like that), because as the name says, it is made form the bones of the dead. However, the pieces are few and far dispensed, and they are difficult to produce. By the time a full set is available to the Avatar, better armour can already be accessed.

A full set consists of:

Dungeon Destard among the dead bodies in the room with the liche.
 * Helm     : Can be made using the instructions found in the mage's hut West of Valoria or it can be found in the
 * Chest    : Is in the far room of the Telorian temple, where you find the red orb.
 * Arms     : Is among the dead bodies in the room in Destard with the liche
 * Gauntlets :
 * Leggings : in a chest on an Island at 0” 9’N, 63” 11’E
 * Boots    : in a chest on an Island at 0” 9’N, 63” 11’E

Trivia

 * The Bone armour is more a gimmick than a real alternative, it's protective value is simply too low to be of any use at all.
