| − | The '''dwarvish mithril-coat''' and '''elven mithril-coat''' are two types of [[body armor]] found in ''NetHack''. While neither is as effective as a good suit of [[dragon scale mail]], they are both much lighter than other [[armor class|high-AC]] suits. | |
| − | | |
| − | Being made of [[mithril]], they are immune to [[erosion]], but they still hinder [[spellcasting]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | While the dwarvish mithril-coat has one higher natural AC than its elven counterpart, it cannot be safely [[scroll of enchant armor|enchanted]] if above +3, while the elven mithril-coat can be enchanted even at +5. Thus, a dwarvish coat is slightly superior when unenchanted, but an elven coat is slightly superior when fully enchanted.

| − | == Strategy ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | Mithril-coats are very helpful in the early game because of their high AC and low weight. They will often provide as much AC as the rest of the adventurer's armor combined, and the extra carrying capacity is particularly useful for early characters with low strength and no [[bag of holding]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Players will usually exchange their mithril for [[dragon scale mail]] when it becomes available, which makes them reluctant to spend [[scroll of enchant armor|scrolls of enchant armor]] on their mithril-coats. For this reason the dwarvish variety is usually considered better, though the difference between the two is small.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Because mithril-coats are metallic, characters proficient in combat spellcasting (such as [[Wizard]]s) will often ignore them and wear [[studded leather armor]] instead. If this is not available, it might be a good idea to temporarily sacrifice spellcasting for the increased protection afforded by mithril.

| − | | |
| − | * All [[elf (monster attribute)|elven monsters]] (except [[elf mummy|elf mummies]] and [[elf zombie]]s) have a 1/4 chance of being generated with an elven mithril-coat.<ref>{{function|makemon.c|m_initweap}}</ref> | |
| − | * [[Hobbit]]s have a 1/10 chance of being generated with an elven mithril-coat.
| |
| − | * All [[dwarf|dwarvish]] monsters (except [[dwarf mummy|dwarf mummies]] and [[dwarf zombie]]s) have a 1/12 chance of being generated with a dwarvish mithril-coat. | |
| − | | |
| − | ==Variants==
| |
| − | In general, they have an [[MC]] of 3.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===SLASH'EM===
| |
| − | | |
| − | In [[SLASH'EM]], they have an [[MC]] of 3, and there's also the [[Dark elven mithril-coat]] with stats identical to the dwarven mithril coat. They are the only suits of body armor that provide [[magic cancellation|MC3]].
