This is an official list of existing alternative names for [[armor]], provided by APM Wyrom 12 Sep 2015 as a part of [[Hot Summer Nights 2015]].
While reading something on the GS-Wiki I came across a page written by Eklinaar's player concerning newbie starting gear It's pretty cool that someone put that together. Thanks!
Note: To help remove ambiguity, a new naming convention converting Soft Leather armor to Leather armor, and Hard Leather armor to Scale has been implemented.

I noticed that some of the newbie starting armor had some interesting alternative names such as vest, doublet, and waistcoat. I went to Playershops 4.0 (/) and looked at each armor type and collected all the different names used for each armor type. Below is a table of what I found.

Here is a complete list of nouns that can be used for armor by AsG. We've also added some more weapon nouns to our arsenal! Enjoy!


Armor
In most cases the adjective of the armor is NOT required. For example full leather does not always need the word full if the item is "leather" but studded leather always has "studded leather" as the item.
