Armor cap

[ohmcat]

Hello folks.

First of all, i apologize for my bad english : I'm french, i never actually listened to my english teacher back in school and i learned english by watching english subtitled japanese anime.

That being said, here comes my question :

Is there somewhere on the internet an armor cap calculator for skyrim?

 

I want to play a new character, with a new build (conjurer/2h), and a vigilant of stendarr-like outfit : armored boots and gauntlets, a circlet and clothes.

Now i know the armor cap is at 567 while wearing a full armor, 667 when naked, so what i need to know is : what is the armor cap while wearing only boots and gloves?

 

Thanks in advance.

It's at 567 with full armour because wearing all four armour pieces adds a hidden 100 extra armour.

 

If you're not wearing all four armour pieces then the displayed level required will always be 667, no matter the number less than four, be it one, two, or three pieces of armour.

 

All four: 567

Anything else: 667

Actually, according to the uesp page linked (which I read just now because I was very confused about this topic [because I only ever wear cloth]), I believe it would be 617, because it says this down in the armor rating calculation:

 

hidden armor rating = 25 per piece worn

I missed that part when i read uespwiki. Then I guess my armor cap would be 617.

 

Thank you guys/girls/neutral genders :D
