The Bone Pectoral is a crafted chest guard made from bone pieces strung on leather strips. It is the lightest piece of the bone armour set and hangs over the upper chest. It gives strong protection to the upper torso for very little weight.
The piece is worn in the long necklace slot rather than as body armour. That means it does not compete with jackets, vests or the Bone Body Armor for space. Its main cost is wear, because it holds only a single point of condition. It also slows running and attacks a little while it is worn.
The Bone Pectoral is never found as loot. It comes only from the Make Bone Pectoral recipe, which needs some skill in Tailoring and Carving. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
On the upper torso, the Bone Pectoral stops about four in five bites and nine in ten scratches. It also blocks most of the wind on the chest, which helps on cold and windy days.
The Bone Body Armor gives the same bite and scratch protection over the whole torso and the back. That armour weighs four times as much, though, and is far less comfortable. The Bone Pectoral covers less but is the easier piece to carry and wear. The Wooden Body Armor matches the Bone Body Armor in every protection figure.
Wearing the pectoral cuts running speed by a tenth and attack speed by 5 percent. It is a little uncomfortable over long periods.
The piece takes the Long Necklace slot. Only one long necklace can be worn at a time.
Tailoring
The Bone Pectoral is immune to holes, so patches are never spent on it. The Research Craft option on it teaches two recipes: Make Bone Body Armor and Make Wooden Body Armor. That makes a pectoral the first step toward full torso armour made from bone or wood.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Bone Pectoral and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
The Bone Pectoral is never found in the world. It is made with the Make Bone Pectoral recipe from 6 Bone Pieces, 2 Leather Strips and Twine. The work needs a sharp knife and an awl, which are kept. The crafter needs level 2 in Tailoring and level 2 in Carving.
Notes
- The pectoral sits in the necklace slot, so it can be worn alongside regular torso clothing.
- It wears out after very little use, so spare bone pieces are worth keeping for a replacement.
- Research Craft on it teaches both the Bone Body Armor and the Wooden Body Armor recipes.
- The recipe needs only low Tailoring and Carving, which makes it an early piece of crafted armour.
