An armored Ironborn who's corpse we are going to loot, I hope.
[X] [Armor] buy it
Fuck. It seems we better had chosen hanging out with squires then. Forgot that the laws of supply and demand apply in this situation.
edit: changed my vote to buy it since bad armour is better than no Armor at all. especially the helmet.

.@Azel was there any place where we could have gotten decent armor or was this trap option ?

It's not a trap option we just did not consider how the war would effect what we could get.Well this forum is full of communists, so need and ability dont apply, supply and demand does

You flatly do not have the money for better armor. I'm only letting y'all back out of the purchase since there's apparently the expectation you'd be able to get something much better.
I don't think this is a trap option. If we bought it at inflated prices and it saved us from a grievous injury afterwards, we'd consider it money well spent. Just us deciding whether we want to take slight decrease in risk right now, knowing there is opportunity cost for that later. And part of me thinks that we'll get more silver more easily than we'll get good healing once things go in earnest. This is not a setting with fancy magical healing. Even if we survive, the severity of an injury can make a whole difference. And we're gambling that we won't take any injury between now and the undefined time when we can either loot an armor or buy a better one. If we keep taking risks now for better gains later, we're going to know regret when the dice are unkind.

For what though? We're only buying it for this much because there's literally nothing else. Presumably, once we've got enough money to buy something better, this will likely be next to worthless.
I'm not talking about buying better armor. I'm saying if we get better armor from a battle then we sell the lower quality one. I'd rather have some protection now than none.

Meh, what are we hodling onto money for? It's not like it has speculative value that's gonna go up.

My issue is there's good chance we could acquire armor of similar quality in the next fight. Money should be saved for non-combat related uses.
It is possible, but it also requires that we actually get through a fight. And there's also a good chance we'll take a hit in the next fight, and if we do, we might be very glad we have armor. If we end up lucky, and we don't get hit, and we get an armor quickly, then yes, this money is wasted. if we end up unlucky and between now and getting a better armor we take a fair amount of blows, particularly to the head, then this money is one of the best investments we could have made, saving us both time and money and possibly our lives in healing injuries. So not buying the armor is gambling that we're lucky.

I mean, there was nothing about how armor works mechanically in the opening post. So there's no assurance that this armor will be all that effective, especially since it's made by people not used to making armor.
