Wooden Shin Armor is a homemade greave of wooden rods bound with leather and twine. It is strapped to one shin. It stops most zombie bites and nearly all scratches on that lower leg.
Its main cost is speed, since it slows running a little. It is only slightly uncomfortable to wear. It also wears out quickly and needs replacing often in heavy fighting.
It is made with the Make Wooden Shin Armor recipe, which needs only a little skill. One piece covers one leg, so a full set takes two. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The greave stops most bites and nearly all scratches on the shin it covers. It also adds a little warmth and blocks some wind on that lower leg.
Running speed drops by 10 percent while it is worn. Comfort suffers only slightly. It only lasts a few hits, and every hit has an even chance to wear it down.
Bone Shin Armor matches it in every figure. 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 Shin" and "on Right Shin" choose which leg it is strapped to. A greave on one shin clashes with a knee piece or a shin pad on the same side.
Tailoring
Using the Research Craft option on the greave teaches four recipes. These are Make Wooden Forearm Armor, Make Wooden Shin Armor, Make Wooden Thigh Armor and Make Wooden Shoulder Armor.
Make Wooden Shin 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 Shin Armor and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Wooden Shin Armor comes from crafting. It is made with the Make Wooden Shin Armor recipe. The recipe needs four Wooden Rods, two Leather Strips and one Twine. It asks for only Tailoring 1 and Carving 2, so a new crafter can make it early.
Notes
- Make two, one for each leg, for full shin cover.
- It guards the shin as well as Bone Shin Armor for far less skill.
- It wears out fast, so keep spare rods, strips and twine for a new one.
- Knee pads and shin pads on the same leg clash with it.
