[Primordial] Armor - Plate of Primal Earth
🕑 Added 2023-03-20 14:01:02 +0000 UTCCaptured within this rugged armor is the purest and most primal essence of earth, unyielding in moments yet ever-changing. Rocks wax and wane along the armor like the growth and erosion of earth.

DESIGN COMMENTARY
This plate was easily envisioned (it's just rock in a rough armor shape) but I found the process really enjoyable after seeing some thin-strand mountain forms. The final shape doesn't immediately look like armor but it's still look close enough; I really wanted it to look organic like it was growing but eh
Edit: After some consideration, the primal element items have been altered to Legendary rarity instead of very rare. Damage resistance simply equates too easily to the rare armors.
