Desirability

A good choice for races which cannot wear most armour and thus have trouble getting resistances. However, rC+++ is usually less useful than even rF+, meaning most characters will prefer a mundane robe of fire resistance, robe of resistance, or dragon armour over this. However, if you already have adequate fire resistance from other gear (or lack any of the above-mentioned body armours), this can be good to wear on an EV character. Excellent if you find it in time to explore an Ice Cave.

History

In 0.14 the Skin of Zhor was enhanced to provide rC+++.
