The Ice Hockey Neck Guard is a padded collar made to shield a hockey player's throat. It is worn in the gorget slot and covers the neck.
The neck guard is one of the most valuable pieces of armour in the game. It stops every bite and every scratch there. It is light and keeps the neck fully warm as well.
Its cost is comfort, since it is a little uncomfortable to wear. It is a rare find, mostly in school gym storage rooms. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
On the neck the guard stops all bites and all scratches. It also keeps the neck fully warm and blocks all the wind.
Among neck guards, only a few match that protection. The Leather Neck Guard, the Metal Neck Guard and the Bone Choker also stop every bite and scratch. The Ice Hockey Neck Guard is more comfortable than the Leather and Metal versions. The Bone Choker is the most comfortable of the four. Cloth guards made of rags, denim or burlap keep the neck warm but stop only a few bites.
The guard adds a fifth to discomfort. That is the main price for full neck protection, and it is a fair trade.
The neck guard has its own gorget slot. It adds to an outfit without pushing out any other piece.
Tailoring
The neck guard can get holes. Research Craft on it teaches the Sew Leather Neck Guard recipe. That opens a way to make full neck protection from leather once the hockey guard wears out.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Ice Hockey Neck Guard and teaches the recipes below.
