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, Eklinaar!

https://gswiki.play.net/mediawiki/index.php/Newbie_gear_(saved_post)

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 to collect all the different names used for each armor type. Below is a table of what I found.

I make no claim that these are all approved alternatives just that this is what I have found in Eklinaar's research and Playershops 4.0.

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. Please forgive my horrible attempt at formattimg a table on a wiki page. Formatting a table on this wiki is horribly labourious.

Ok, it looks like someone screwed up the table. The original is here...

(NB: I didn't "screw it up", I "made it match the table in the primary 'Armor' article much more closely." Like I said in the 'summary' of the changes when I posted it. -- Krakii)

(ZENDADA: Well something did not convert over. It looks good but Studded Leather is all wrong!)
