{{flavour|The nacreous scales of a pearl dragon. It grants its wearer resistance from negative energies.}}<br />
<br />
'''Pearl dragon scales''' are a strong armour choice, with the same AC as [[plate armour]], but with a bearable encumbrance. They also provide one rank of [[life protection]] (rN+).<br />
<br />
This item has a 33% chance to generate when you slay a [[pearl dragon]], which can only be found on the [[holy]] [[Pandemonium]] floor, [[Ziggurat]]s, and a few special [[Depths]] [[vault]]s. Otherwise, these scales can rarely be found on the floor or in a [[shop]].<br />
<br />
==Desirability==<br />
A very strong option for [[EV]]-based characters, often considered to be the "ultimate" base armour for these characters. It has the same protection as a plate armour, but much less encumbrance, meaning it won't hinder [[Dodging]], [[Spellcasting]], and [[Ranged Weapons]] as much. Unfortunately, they are far too rare to rely on finding one before [[extended]]. Melee brutes should also consider it, since it's strictly better than base plate armour.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
*Prior to [[0.19]], this item was known as pearl dragon armour in-game and was obtained by using a [[scroll of enchant armour]] on a [[pearl dragon hide]].<br />
*Prior to [[0.10]], this armour was impossible to [[curse]] by any means. This was changed, the rationale being that pearl dragon armour is created by mutilating a holy creature's corpse, as opposed to being an item blessed by [[the Shining One]].<br />
