Bone Thigh Armor is a crafted guard made from animal bone and leather strips that straps over the upper leg. It is part of the bone armour set, the primitive protection a survivor can make from animal remains. One piece covers one thigh, so a pair is needed to guard both legs.
Its main strength is strong bite and scratch protection on the thigh. Its main cost is speed, because each piece slows running. The armour also wears down fast and needs replacing after a few hits.
Bone Thigh Armor is never found as loot. It comes only from the Make Bone Thigh Armor recipe, which needs fair skill in Tailoring and good skill in Carving. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
On the covered thigh, 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 upper leg. That makes it a fair choice in cool weather.
Each piece cuts running speed by a tenth and is a little uncomfortable to wear. The armour holds three points of condition and has an even chance to lose one with each hit. It does not last long in heavy fighting.
The Wooden Thigh Armor matches it in every figure. The Thigh Guard gives the same protection with the same speed cost and holds five points of condition instead of three. It also loses condition less often.
The armour straps over trousers and other leg clothing. The inventory option switches a piece between the left and right leg.
Tailoring
Bone Thigh 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 Thigh Armor.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Bone Thigh Armor and teaches the recipes below.
