I've got a chainmail hauberk coming in the mail. Going to be wearing it at practices and stuff when I'm not in a line with warband, so that I can preserve the leather armor.
And a new helmet coming eventually being custom made from a master craftsman.

So I got the estimate for my helmet, and it was a bit higher than I expected... But with a nudge from Rhiannon and some determination, I'm still getting it. heres the plan:
Oxblood Leather w/ Rune engravings, Brass Plated Ocular with odinic ravens engraved, chain aventail.
Yeah, it's gonna be epic.

So, I got the chainmail. Could do with some modification, but works good so far. Anyone interested in buying the sallet off of me? It doesn't fit my character.

The sallet is the headpiece. I'm not sure how much yet. Not even fully sure I'm selling it. probably will be though.

Is there anything in paeticular you have to do to maintain chainmail?

Not the kind that you got from me.
It's got a layer of stuff on it that makes it really shiny and rust-proof. Without that layer itll look more authentic, but rust almost right away without oiling.
