The Chain mail consists of a long sleeveless tunic made out of interlocking chains, also known as a byrnie, as well as a set of metal pauldrons and a gorget that goes around the wearer's neck and shoulders. Worn around the waist is a metal belt. The chain mail generally provides a good amount of defence at a relatively affordable price compared to heavier sets of armour.
The item art for the chain mail includes a long sleeveless shirt made out of interlocking chains, also known as a byrnie or [[Wikipedia:Hauberk|hauberk]], as well as a set of metal pauldrons and a [[Wikipedia:Gorget|gorget]] that goes around the wearer's neck and shoulders. Worn around the waist is a metal belt. The chain mail generally provides a good amount of defence at a relatively affordable price compared to heavier sets of armour. In some illustrations, the chain mail has longer sleeves or is worn over a long-sleeved grey tunic.
 
The chain mail has a slightly different design in ''X'', being a mail coat with long sleeves and lacings in the front, an orange belt worn around the waist, and lacking the shoulder pads. This design also appears in mobile games such as ''Stars'' and ''Walk''.
