What is the best armor and weapon ?

[Johanna]

Hi, is there anyone who can give me some advice about armors and weapons ?
I want to equip my townies with the best ...
Thanks and sorry for my poor English.

Gold armour is probably the best, although there are some enchanted armours which may be more useful -- the Fire Breastplate is great against groups of enemies for example, and the Divine Iron Breastplate gives a healing effect. The Golden Haste Helmet is by far the best helmet available, since it has better statistics than the Golden Helmet and it gives a speed increase. As for the boots, the Golden Boots have the most armour and defence; but the Boots of Haste allow your townies to move a lot more quickly.

As far as weapons, it depends on whether you want ranged or melee damage. The Fire Sword is probably the best weapon in the game, at least it does the most damage. The Lightning is probably the best ranged weapon, although the Golden Staff may have a higher damage per hit the Lightning fires faster and has a better chance to hit its target. However, the Lightning is classed as a spear where the Fire Staff is classed as a magic staff, and this effects which heroes can use either of the two weapons...

Gold is, ironically, one of the easier metals to get -- caravans often have some, so you can start stocking up early on to have plenty of gold for armour later.

Thank you ! :D

I forgot to mention before: the enchanted weapons and armours can only be bought from caravans (they're extremely expensive, so you had better start growing a large flower farm to pay for them); or found deep underground in buried chests.

If you wanted you could mod in a recipe to craft them, for example using the Itesmithy and high-level monster "ites"; but I've found that just buying them from caravans whenever you can is enough to equip a good-sized town guard. You only need a couple of enchanted weapons in a group of guards to make a big impact, especially with ones like the Plague Bringer or Trickster's Blade

if you cant get far into the game go into your towns folder and look for living entities if you want you can have really powerful men but weak women find civilianmale or female and look for health points and adjust them to your desires but make sure you keep the 1d or theyll die straight away

Thank both of you ! I'm far into the game so I don't really have issues with money or gold but thank you Vladamir :)
