About this converter
Valheim lists armor per piece in the crafting panel and the official wiki mirrors those game files. This table totals each full set at quality 1, with the cape added where the set lists one. Rag starts at 2. Leather sits at 7. Troll Leather reaches 19 with its cape. Bronze and Root sit at 24. Fenris sits at 30. Iron reaches 42. Eitr-weave totals 49 with its feather cape. Embla sits at 57. Wolf reaches 61 with its cape. Padded reaches 79 with its linen cape. Ask sits at 84. Carapace reaches 96. Flametal tops the table at 114, or 57 times Rag.
How to use it
Pick two armor sets and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first set, one holds the matching count of the second, one holds total defense. Try Flametal against Rag to see the 114 to 2 gap. Click a table row to load that entry as Entry A with amount 1.
Upgrades, skills and rested bonuses raise armor past these base rows and sit outside the table. Capes give 1 armor each at quality 1 and are counted only where the set page lists one with the set. Movement penalties, resistances and set bonuses are noted in context but not converted. Deep North sets such as Vanguard, Caller and Protector are left out because published base values differ across sources. Values pin quality 1 game files.
