Protection and combat penalties can move in opposite directions. Compare both columns of an armor effect before upgrading, and keep encounter durability separate from ingredient cost.

Inspect an individual item

Reference crafting time measures a listed recipe duration, not your complete chain. Compare ingredients, effects and their duration before substituting one item for another.

Read the evidence correctly

Official patch notes establish the shipped changes they name. Secondary figures remain attributed reference values until checked in the installed game.
