Quicksilver dragon scales
Template:Version032 Template:Armour Template:Flavour
Quicksilver dragon scales are a curious form of body armour. They are light, have high base AC, and grant a rank of willpower. However, they cannot be enchanted beyond +0. Even artefact quicksilver scales will always be +0.
This item has a 33% chance to generate when you slay a quicksilver dragon.
Desirability
Quicksilver dragon scales can be effective. Not being able to enchant this armour may seem like an intimidating handicap... but this does not matter if you don't have spare scrolls of enchant armour, or used them to enchant a shield or aux slots.
As a light armour, it works best for casters and EV-based characters, especially those with decent armour skill. Melee brutes will likely prefer something like a plate armour of willpower instead.
Willpower is useful to any character who hasn't reached the maximum; it prevents statuses like paralysis and confusion.
