OptionalThorns III
Role
The chestplate provides more armor points than any other single normal armor piece.
Protection type
Use Protection IV for general play; specialized variants conflict on the same piece.
Thorns
Thorns III reflects damage but increases wear; keeping it only on the chestplate limits the cost.
Maintenance
Unbreaking III and Mending are especially valuable because replacement is expensive.
