Wooden Thigh Armor is a homemade guard of wooden rods bound with leather and twine. It is strapped to one thigh. It stops most zombie bites and nearly all scratches on that upper leg.
Its main cost is speed, since it slows running a little. It is also a little uncomfortable to wear. It wears out quickly and needs replacing often in heavy fighting.
It is made with the Make Wooden Thigh 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 guard stops most bites and nearly all scratches on the thigh it covers. It also adds a little warmth and blocks some wind on that upper leg.
Running speed drops by 10 percent while it is worn. It is a little uncomfortable as well. It only lasts a few hits, and every hit has an even chance to wear it down.
Bone Thigh Armor matches it in every figure. The wooden version is easier to make, since it needs Tailoring 1 and Carving 3 instead of Tailoring 4 and Carving 6. Scrap Metal Thigh Armor gives the same bite and scratch cover with a little bullet protection. It lasts a bit longer but needs Welding 5 to make.
The inventory options "on Left Thigh" and "on Right Thigh" choose which leg it is strapped to.
Tailoring
Using the Research Craft option on the guard teaches four recipes. These are Make Wooden Forearm Armor, Make Wooden Shin Armor, Make Wooden Thigh Armor and Make Wooden Shoulder Armor.
Make Wooden Thigh Armor needs Tailoring 1 and Carving 3. 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 Thigh Armor and teaches the recipes below.

Locations
Wooden Thigh Armor comes from crafting. It is made with the Make Wooden Thigh Armor recipe. The recipe needs four Wooden Rods, two Leather Strips and one Twine. It asks for only Tailoring 1 and Carving 3, so a new crafter can make it early.
Notes
- Make two, one for each leg, for full thigh cover.
- It guards the thigh as well as Bone Thigh Armor for far less skill.
- Scrap Metal Thigh Armor is the next step up once Welding is trained.
- It wears out fast, so keep spare rods, strips and twine for a new one.
