Iron armour
The iron armour, also known as the half plate or half plate armour, is a recurring suit of armour item seen in many games in the Dragon Quest series. It is a strong piece of armor made from beaten out iron plates.
Appearances
Dragon Quest
The half plate (Iron Armor in later translations) can be bought in Garinham, Kol and Rimuldar for 1000 G. The wearer gains +16 defense when equipped. Due to text restrictions in the Gameboy Color remake of Dragon Quest, the iron armor was renamed to Iron with a picture of armor beside it.
