 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.

 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.

If this is not available, it might be a good idea to temporarily sacrifice spellcasting for the increased protection afforded by mithril. Since mithril-coats can be quickly equipped or unequipped, a property not shared by any other metallic body armor, a spellcaster (especially one not wearing a cloak) may still find it useful to wear a mithril-coat, quickly removing it as necessary to cast spells.

+In [[xNetHack]], mithril-coats are removed and replaced with '''elven ring mail''' and '''dwarven ring mail'''; mithril-coats are material specific, but were not left as such by the integration of object materials. Mithril body armor will always grant at least MC2.
 The elven ring mail grants 2 AC and uses a base material of [[copper]], while dwarvish ring mail grants 4 AC and has a base material of [[iron]] as usual; each of these will behave identically to an elven/dwarven mithril-coat if they generate made of mithril. Hobbits that get elven ring mail will always be given one made of mithril, and dwarf lords and kings that get a dwarvish ring mail have an increased chance of it being mithril.
