Wooden Forearm Armor is a homemade guard of wooden rods bound with leather and twine. It is strapped to one forearm. It stops every zombie bite and scratch on that forearm while it holds together.
Its costs are slightly slower attacks and some discomfort. It also wears out quickly and needs replacing often.
It is made with the Make Wooden Forearm Armor recipe, which needs only a little skill. One piece covers one arm, so a full set takes two. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The guard stops all bites and scratches on the forearm it covers. It also adds a little warmth and blocks some wind on that forearm.
It slows attacks a little and is fairly uncomfortable to wear. The piece on the right arm costs 5 percent attack speed, while the piece on the left arm costs only 3 percent. It only lasts a few hits, and every hit has an even chance to wear it down.
Bone Forearm Armor matches it in protection and warmth. The wooden version is easier to make, since it needs Tailoring 1 and Carving 2 instead of Tailoring 4 and Carving 5.
The inventory options "on Left Forearm" and "on Right Forearm" choose which arm it is strapped to. A guard on one forearm clashes with a wrist item on the same side, such as a watch.
Tailoring
Using the Research Craft option on the guard teaches five recipes. These are Make Bone Forearm Armor and the four wooden limb pieces: Make Wooden Forearm Armor, Make Wooden Shin Armor, Make Wooden Thigh Armor and Make Wooden Shoulder Armor.
Make Wooden Forearm Armor needs Tailoring 1 and Carving 2. It uses four Wooden Rods, two Leather Strips and one Twine. A sharp knife, a saw and an awl are needed as tools and are kept.
The Research Craft option in the inventory menu studies the Wooden Forearm Armor and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Wooden Forearm Armor comes from crafting. It is made with the Make Wooden Forearm Armor recipe. The recipe needs four Wooden Rods, two Leather Strips and one Twine. It asks for only Tailoring 1 and Carving 2, so it is among the first armour a new crafter can make.
Notes
- Make two, one for each arm, for full forearm cover.
- The left arm guard slows attacks less than the right arm guard.
- A watch must go on the other wrist from the guard.
- Researching it also teaches Make Bone Forearm Armor.
