==Desirability==
 
The '''armour of the Dragon King''' is a +9 [[gold dragon armour]] with +50 [[MR]]. While you can get better [[AC]] by fully enchanting a mundane gold dragon armour, this armour's MR bonus helps makes up for this, and finding the requisite [[scrolls of enchant armour]] to actually create a superior AC suit is substantial and time-consuming investment. Any character that doesn't care much about [[EV]] or [[spellcasting]], or is subject to considerable armour limitations (e.g. [[ogre]]s and [[troll]]s), will find this armour incredibly useful.  Unfortunately, such characters are often a distinct minority for most players.
 
 
 
==History==
 
*Prior to [[0.16]], this armour's flavor stated: ''"A long time ago, a mighty golden dragon seized the rulership of all dragons in his part of the world. Yet his reign didn't last long, stopped by a single puny human who then made this armour from the dragon's hide."''
 
 
 
*This armour's encumbrance rating (along with all gold dragon armour in general) has eased from -27 (prior to [[0.14]]), and -25 (prior to 0.16), to its present rating of -23.
