Bone Shin Armor is a crafted greave made from animal bone and leather strips that straps over the lower leg. It is part of the bone armour set, the primitive protection a survivor can make without any store or factory. One piece covers one shin, so a pair is needed to guard both legs.
Its main strength is strong bite and scratch protection on the shins. Its main cost is speed, because each piece slows running. The armour wears down fast and must be replaced after a few hits.
Bone Shin Armor is never found as loot. It comes only from the Make Bone Shin Armor recipe, which needs fair skill in Tailoring and Carving. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
On the covered shin, the armour stops about four in five bites and nine in ten scratches. It also adds some warmth and blocks a little wind on the lower leg. That makes it a fair choice in cool weather.
Each piece cuts running speed by a tenth. It is only slightly uncomfortable to wear. The armour holds three points of condition and has an even chance to lose one with each hit, so it does not last long in heavy fighting.
The Wooden Shin Armor matches it in every figure. The Shin Guard gives the same protection and lasts longer, but it is twice as heavy and slows running by 15 percent.
The armour is made for one side and can be switched to the other leg with the inventory option. The right piece uses the Right Calf slot and blocks a right knee pad and a right shin pad. The left piece does the same on the left.
Tailoring
Bone Shin Armor is immune to holes, so patches are never spent on it. The Research Craft option on it teaches five recipes. They are Make Bone Thigh Armor, Make Bone Shoulder Armor, Make Bone Forearm Armor, Make Bone Shin Armor and Make Wooden Shin Armor.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Bone Shin Armor and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Bone Shin Armor is never found in the world. It is made with the Make Bone Shin Armor recipe from 3 Animal Bone, 2 Leather Strips and Twine. The work needs a sharp knife, a saw and an awl, which are kept. The crafter needs level 4 in Tailoring and level 5 in Carving, and the recipe has to be learned first.
Notes
- Two pieces are needed to cover both shins, one for each leg.
- The inventory option switches a piece between the left and right leg.
- Research Craft on a single piece teaches the recipes for the other bone limb armour.
- The armour wears out quickly, so a stock of bones and leather strips keeps it in use.
