Low vs Med Armor

[kraegor]

I have found there is no difference besides looks for these two types of armors. Is there any reason I would want to spend my points on purchasing the ability to make Medium armor when I can already make Low?

MEd quality usually looks better. If you don't care about looks, then, no. But if you are selling things keep in mind that your custumers often do care.

I really wish they make the med and the high quality armor better statwise. They are so expensive to learn and do represent a higher quality of armor.

I think the medium armor also carries a 30% penalty to actions, whereas light does not. I use light because I don't want it to screw with my harvesting/crafting actions.

We're not talking about medium vs light armor. We're talking about medium quality vs basic quality. There is 3 qualities of armor for each type of light, medium and heavy armor.

Basic
Medium
High

Currently the medium and high quality armors have the same stats as the basic.
