Hands -Heavy Chain: 59 86% muddled
Head - Heavy Plate: 60 51% bewildering

I really like learning based off body part, but why do the hands learn so little compared to the head? I mean.. its even a lower rank! Plus last time I checked your hands most alot more in a fight than your head.. but who knows, I guess that can be argued, anyway, end rant!

Dek, are you using a head/eyes/neck HP helm? If so, I'd recommend switching to a head/eyes HP helm and then wear an HC aventail. I do this w/ LP and HP and they both are even ranks.

It wouldn't be a complaint if I wanted to conform would it now? besides..

You tap a midnight black great helm with twisted horns protruding from the sides that you are wearing.

I like my helm.

It could easily be a complaint if you didn't know there was a good option to learn both. I'm sorry for trying to offer advice without getting the full story though. I'm such a fool like that.

Heh, fair enough! Don't be hard on yourself at my expense though! I just think its silly that a helmet teachers more than gloves in -maneuvering-, my gloves move far more! I'm sly like that.

Unless you are standing ABSOLUTELY motionless and just waving your hands, then your head DOES move far more while -maneuvering- in combat.

Would you be so kind as to post the full appraisal of said helm? The reason I ask is that most great helms I've looked at protect the head, the eyes and the neck. All of those locations together will indeed provide more experience than the hands alone.

Yeah, the helmet does protect Head, eyes, and neck, I guess I didn't think of it that way, since technically that is three body parts, and hands it only one, it'd be interesting to see the break down on how each body part actually teaches, but I doubtful we'll get that anytime soon.

I've just always been so used to the old way since I just came back, and somewhere deep inside me expected hands and head to teach pretty much the same! But I wasn't thinking of the head as three body parts.

Also Red, yeah, I thought of that as I wrote my first post, which is why I said it could be most likely be easily argued ::chuckle::.

From what I can tell, armor learning seems to work in a similar manner to the rule of 9s.

ADULTS
Head - 9%
Arms - 9% each
Legs - 18% each
Chest - 18%
Back - 18 %
Groin - 1%

Since hands would be a subset of arms, and a minor part of it, I wouldn't be surprised if hands are like 3-4% total.
