It's a +9 [[gold dragon armour]] with 50 MR: very nice if you can wear it. While it has 3 less AC than the max one can get out a mundane gold dragon armour, the MR more than makes up for this.  Moreover, wearing this, if you find it, will free up enchant armour scrolls for other purposes. Any AC-based character will always want this, but sadly, all but the best casters will find it simply too cumbersome to use.

The '''armour of the Dragon King''' is essentially a +9 [[gold dragon armour]] with +50 MR. While you can get better AC by fully enchanting a mundane gold dragon armour, the MR bonus more than makes up for this, and finding enough [[scrolls of enchant armour]] to actually create a superior AC suit is very unlikely. Unfortunately, gold dragon armour is generally too bulky for most characters to wear; consider it if you're playing an [[ogre]] or [[troll]] who doesn't care about spells and doesn't expect to be dodging much anyway.

The armour of the Dragon King is essentially a +9 gold dragon armour with +50 MR. While you can get better AC by fully enchanting a mundane gold dragon armour, the MR bonus more than makes up for this, and finding enough scrolls of enchant armour to actually create a superior AC suit is very unlikely. Unfortunately, gold dragon armour is generally too bulky for most characters to wear; consider it if you're playing an ogre or troll who doesn't care about spells and doesn't expect to be dodging much anyway.
