Magazine: Early Indigenous Armor - An In-Depth Study is a magazine about armour made from wood and bone. Reading it teaches eleven recipes: a full set of wooden armour, a full set of bone armour and a Bone Choker.

The recipes belong to the Tailoring and Carving skills together. Wood and bone come from the wild and from hunting, so this armour suits a survivor living off the land. The wooden pieces come early in both skills, while the bone pieces need much more practice.

The magazine is found in loot, mostly in anthropology classrooms and late game survivor safehouses. Reading it also eases boredom and stress.

Uses


The wooden set is the easy start. Make Wooden Forearm Armor and Make Wooden Shin Armor need Tailoring level 1 and Carving level 2. The forearm piece takes four Wooden Rod, two Leather Strips and Twine. Make Wooden Thigh Armor needs Carving level 3. Make Wooden Shoulder Armor needs Tailoring 4 and Carving 3. Make Wooden Body Armor needs Tailoring 5 and Carving 5.

The bone set asks for more. Make Bone Forearm Armor and Make Bone Shin Armor need Tailoring 4 and Carving 5. Make Bone Thigh Armor needs Tailoring 4 and Carving 6. Make Bone Shoulder Armor needs Tailoring 5 and Carving 6. Make Bone Body Armor needs Tailoring 7 and Carving 7, and takes twenty Large Bone Bead, four Leather Strips and five Twine.

Make Bone Choker needs Tailoring level 4. It takes four Large Bone Bead, Leather Strips and Twine.

Every piece can be made on any surface. The forearm, body and choker recipes keep a sharp knife and an awl. Most recipes are also learned without the magazine once both skills climb a level or two past the requirement.

Like every magazine, it also counts as paper for armour. Make Magazine Body Armor takes eight magazines and four Duct Tape at Tailoring level 1. Make Magazine Limb Armor takes one magazine and two Duct Tape.

Locations


Anthropology classrooms are the place to look. Their shelves hold it about one time in three, and their counters and desks often too. Late game survivor safehouses hold it in dressers, wardrobes and boxes. Book store shelves and mid game safehouses turn one up now and then.

Notes


  • The wooden set is reachable at Tailoring 1 and Carving 2.
  • Bone body armour needs a large stock of Large Bone Bead.
  • Every armour piece needs both Tailoring and Carving, so both skills must grow together.
  • An anthropology classroom is the surest place to find it.
