This armour was reportedly created by enchanting the hide of a now-extinct species of troll. Whether this armour is truly a remnant of the legendary unseen terrors of the wind or merely an appropriation of the name to add mystique is something of a mystery; its power of rapid regeneration at the occasional expense of the wearer's magic power, however, is hard to dispute.

Desirability

The moon troll leather armour is a huge upgrade over standard troll leather armour. Although it still offers only mediocre physical defense, its regeneration bonus totals to +70 (40 from the artefact property and 30 for being a troll leather armour) unless you're a troll (they only receive the +40). The spirit shield and extra MP help increase both durability and casting capacity, making it a good selection for casters and EV-based fighters.

Trivia

The extinct "moon trolls" the item gets its name from were an aborted type of troll. Permanently invisible and surrounded by a Tornado effect, they would have been found in a moon-themed mini-branch that was never released.
