A well-made golden hauberk that covers all of its wearer's body parts. It includes a chainmail coif, chausses and maille gauntlets.

Fills your body, head, hands, and feet armour slots

Desirability

Lear's hauberk is an extremely unusual piece of equipment, filling four equipment slots in exchange for a massive amount of AC. To wear it, you must be able to wear chain mail, caps, boots, and gauntlets. It is by no means an ideal piece of armour; the chain mail base armour is cumbersome, and losing that much equipment access will rule out many useful intrinsics and resistances. That being said, a character who finds it early on, possibly before finding equipment to fill the extra slots with anyway, can suddenly find himself absurdly well-protected against the threats of the early game.

History

Lear's hauberk will be added in 0.13, replacing Lear's chain mail.
