I have heard some issues people have getting full protection without boots and gloves. I've been making 7 piece suits for a few weeks now because I knew that the boots and gloves would not be necessary... so I'm very interested in a yes or no answer letting me know what the deal is.

Are boots and gloves required to be worn to get full protection on your armor?

Gloves and boots are not required (they don't even have any protection).

Yeah, I know they have no stats but just wanted to make sure you didn't need a 'complete' suit to get protection.


I think a lot of the confusion is because people don't see messages in their combat tab that they're expecting... or they don't know how to figure out if the armor is actually WORKING or not. I don't have a combat class so I can't really test this stuff out myself.

Yeah, it's true. It doesn't say any more, "Your so and so head armor prevented X amount of damage" It just says how much damage your were hit for. I noticed that boots still require components like synthetic cloth and "Reinforced Fiber Panel". So it's still going to cost time and money to get the resources to make cosmetic armor.
