Double HP on leather

[Chakravanti]

I think everyone can agree that the consumption rate to effort required ratio is extraordinary. Doubling HP would still make theirs half that of their bronze counterparts and actually make it worthwhile to produce and wear them. A lot of people I talk to don't even bother hunting with leather pants and boots because they get chewed up so damn fast. I wear them if I have them but never bother to make leather personally because it's too much a pitfa and they disappear so damn quick.

Leather armor is only useful to nubs.

Yes and actually it is nearly impossible for noobs to get leather now that Cows are killing machines and foxes run away after a few hits. I can kill a fox with my bow, but afterwards my leather armor is either at ~1HP or completely destroyed. I get 2 leather (the fox hide) and have to invest 8?

maybe they could have both soft and hard leather armours. I searched hard leather armour on google and supposidly you can make it hard using wax. which might give a purpose to wax other than candles. here is the link.

Hm I guess I disagree here to a certain deegree. I would like it if the hp of leather got doubled, but I find leather pants and shoes quite useful as they are. Producing high q exemplars of them helps a lot boosting your armor class and they have between 1k-1,5k hp, so they last quite a while.

I meditate everything. I've recently dumped a shitton of LP into my UA and I'm not getting hit anymore. But my point still stands. Regardless of what your skills are the only thing leather armor is good for is nubs and PvP.

This isn't true at all. Leather armor is extremely useful to me, and I have access to most equipment that exists. High Q leather is as easy for me to get as low Q, and as burgingham said, the hp values are actually quite high.

However, the hp of low Q leather is definitely stupid low.

1400-1600 HP either goes pretty damn quick or you just don't need it anymore. I don't see it.
