Elven Chain

For the passive feature, see Elven Chain (passive feature).

Elven Chain is a rare Medium Armour that grants its wearer bonuses to Initiative Rolls and Dexterity Saving Throws.

The weight of the interwoven steel rings is offset by clever elven craftsmanship - rustling against your undershirt, the mail feels like you're wearing a cloud.

Special

The wearer of this item gains:

• Elven Chain

  You are considered Proficient with this armour while wearing it.

• Elven Agility

  The wearer has a +2 bonus to Initiative Rolls and Advantage on Dexterity Saving throws.

Where to find

• Act Three: Sold by Exxvikyap at the Rivington General.

Notes

• Items such as Bracers of Defence, Bonespike Boots, and Corellon's Grace that are not supposed to give their bonuses while wearing armour still provide their benefits with the Elven Chain equipped. The extra movement speed granted to monks by Unarmoured Movement is also not lost when wearing this armour.

Bugs

• This armor causes the Defense fighting style to give +2 AC (instead of just +1) when worn alongside at least one other piece of gear that counts as armor (e.g. a light armor helm). Likely a bug (v4.1.1.4425968).
