just a curiosity about this armor

[MaryForUo]

the male plate set consists of the 5 pieces plus the plate helm.
for the female plate set, we have the 4 pieces, the female plate and for the helmet?
Which is the correct one, if one exists.
Norse Helm?
Closed Helm?

thanks

I had assumed the only difference between the male and female sets was the chest piece. Interested in hearing what others think.

I just go with the chest pice myself.

And no helm? Think Mary is asking which helm pairs with the female plate armor.

Ya most want the Plate helmet. I like to get a plate and a closed helm. You also need a weapon. Halbred is the popular one. Buy you could use a spear or whatever.



I think players use the plate helm because it says Plate. If you are keeping you can use the helm and weapon that pleases you. If you are selling you should go with a plate helm.

i think the lady'd have a different helm
if you see the clean up rewards, we have the knight set for male and female and we have plate helm and:
bascinet (no), norse helm (for me the best) and close helm (maybe)

so i thought one of these is the one for the female set

 

[Danpal]

I like the Norse one the most with it. On my sets I put Norse and plate then the other two I put on male sets

 

[Deschet]

Also a fan of the norse helm.

 

[Danpal]

For me I like Norse, plate, close then bascinet helms in that order. I remember trying to find old clean up bassinet and close was harder.

I like the sword and sheld look more. But have two sets with double axes, one with helbred and then have sword and sheld.

 

[MaryForUo]

yea i like the norse too!
thx all for the info

There's no "correct" answer. Plate Jingasa, though Tokunoese in origin, also fits the theme.

If you want something closer to historically accurate plate armor (armor for women wasn't significantly different to armor for men) then I would suggest the plate pieces (male chest) and a bascinet for the helm.

 

[John Knighthawke]

Oh, also the close helm. Can't forget the close helm. Looks a lot like a Medieval helm called a "sallet."

Norse helm for the female plate is my choice. For male plate arms I choose lance and kite shield for the full "Knight's Jousting" look.

I actually think the regular 'helmet' is the best looking one for females.
