Types
Clothing in UnReal World comes in several types, from simple cloth garments to heavy furs to iron armour. Fur and Leather clothing is craftable by the player, while other types of clothing must be acquired via trade or combat. Each type of clothing has its own benefits and drawbacks. Generally, simple clothing of wool, linen or nettle is lightweight with decent warmth, but almost no protection from attacks. Leather has better protection but is less warm, furs are warm and have some protection from blows but are heavy, and iron armour has very good protection against attacks but is both heavy and not very warm.
Clothing can be layered, so a good strategy is to wear warm and light cloth underclothes, and have heavier more protective outside layers such as fur and iron. Light clothing causes little to no encumberance when worn, but heavier clothing can significantly slow down the player.
Protection
Armour and clothing work the same way, with each type of material having specific protection values against certain types of attack, and against the cold. Protection values of a particular piece of clothing may be seen by inspecting it from your inventory. Protection values are displayed by colour, from dark brown (little protection) to green (much protection).
| Black | Dark red | Brown | Orange | Yellow | Yellow | Lime green | Light green | Green |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0- | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8+ |
In general, brown values do not have significant protection on their own, yellow values offer decent protection in ordinary situations, and green values offer significant protection even in extreme circumstances. A brown armour value is unlikely to deflect an attack, while a yellow value will give some protection, and a green value may turn even a direct attack with an iron weapon. Similarly a brown warmth value will do little on its own to prevent freezing, while yellow warmth values will suffice even at freezing temperatures, and green values will protect even in the depths of winter.
| Type | Blunt | Point | Squeeze | Edge | Tear | Warmth | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Iron | 7 | 8 | 6 | 10 | 9 | 3 | 7.2 |
| Lamellar | 5 | 5 | 4 | 9 | 8 | 2 | 5.5 |
| 3 | 5 | 2 | 8 | 7 | 2 | 4.5 | |
| Fur | 5 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 5 | 3.3 |
| Leather | 1 | 3 | 1 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 2.2 |
| Wool | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
| Birch Bark | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1 | 1.8 |
| Linen/Nettle | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 1.3 |
Furs
Values given in the table above are for generic material types, however the specific values for fur and leather depend on the type of animal from which the material was obtained. In general, larger animals such as elk, reindeer and bears, have thicker, warmer, and more protective hides. Smaller animals such as foxes and squirrels have thin hides, and their fur will provide much less protection and warmth.
| Fur Type | Blunt | Point | Squeeze | Edge | Tear | Warmth | Average |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elk/Reindeer | 4 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 3.5 |
| Bear | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 3.5 |
| Glutton | 3 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 2.3 |
| Wolf | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 2.3 |
| Beaver | 3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 1.8 |
| Fox | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 1.7 |
| Squirrel | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1.5 |
| Seal | 1 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 1.5 |
Quality
Clothing quality also affects protection values. In general, lower quality clothing may have reduced protection, and higher quality clothing may have increased protection. The exact changes seem to depend on the clothing and material, with certain thresholds needing to be met to change protection values. Notably, rough elk/reindeer fur has decreased warmth value of 4, but still retains the same colour as the decent fur value of 5. The difference between protection values 4 and 5 can often only be seen when layered with other clothing, in which case the combined value will reach a different shade of green.
Coverage
The Armour Coverage Statistics screen is available through the shortcut [A] and shows how protected the player is against different types of attack, including temperature. Different types of clothing cover different parts of the body (some types of clothing overlap) and the coverage is based on the respective values in the tables below.

Clothing Items
Clothing From Plant Fibers
Clothing made of nettle and linen are quite common and are found all over the Unreal World. Linen clothing offer some protection against the cold while also keeping you cool in hot weather. Birch-bark is less flexible than the other two and is thus used mainly for shoes, head-dresses and such. Birch-bark offers some protection against attacks but little against the cold.

Clothing From Animals
Fur clothing offers the best protection against the cold, with wool not far behind. The heavy fur garments also offer some protection against attacks. Leather is mostly used for shoes, boots and belts.

Metal Armour
Metal armours are not usually worn nor made among the local cultures of The UnReal World. The main sources of metal armour are Foreign traders and warriors. Wealthy villages of the Driikiläiset, Sartolaiset, Koivulaiset, and Reemiläiset may have some traded metal armours available. Metal armour comes in three variants: Lamellar, iron and mail. Lamellar armor is the armor of choice of the Njerpez.

Additional information/Tips
Note: these tips were made in previous versions, and thus are no longer entirely accurate. For example bear fur is no longer the warmest fur. These may still be useful as guidelines, but don't rely too much on the specifics.
Warmness
One of the best warmness clothes in the winter are the following:
Even if the temperature goes deep under zero you would feel hot. If you want to sweat a little bit try to wear an additional bear cloak.
The negatives you ask? Sure the weight and the visible gaps.
cheap+warm+light armor for starting hunters
- Buy a few fur-cloaks for 4 torches each to make the fur items.
- Good Blunt for falling from trees, but not suitable for hunting agressive animals.
Best armor Vs weight
The iron items weigh 38 lbs in full condition. However, they do not cover the shoulders, hands, hips, thighs, feet and groin. If you add the mail, ring and leather items for total coverage (cowl, mittens, gauntlets, leggings, maybe hauberk, laced shoes,maybe belt, maybe shirt) you are going for 90-100 lbs.
With heavy clothes, (woolen undershirt, undergarments, overcoat, tunic, bear fur coat and footwear etc) you can push 150 but the additional protection is barely noticeable at this point.
Best protection for weight is iron great helm, long ring cowl, bear fur hood, shirt and leggings, mail mittens and ring gauntlets, iron coudes and kneecops, laced leather shoes and normal leather belt and linen undergarment (thighs are more important than arms, you can still run away with your arms badly hurt). Bear fur footwear, iron vambraces, linen cloak optional (depends on character weight, 260+ always wear the cloak and seriously consider the vambraces. Bear fur footwear can be replaced/supported with socks and/or footrags )
