Dragon Mail


 * The item named "Dragon Mail" in is the Dragon Scales from the original game.

The Dragon Mail is an Armor-class piece of equipment found in.

In
The Dragon Mail increases the wearer's Mars and Mercury resistances by 15; the bonus of resisting fire and water attacks is a trait shared by all armor made from Dragon Skin given to Sunshine. When a Dragon Skin is given to him, he will forge it into one of five items determined at random. Being Armor, it can be equipped by Isaac, Felix, Garet, and Piers.

The Dragon Mail is one of the more desirable pieces of armor that can be made from Dragon Skin, although it can be argued that the Dragon Helm is the most desirable of all due to its higher resistance ratings. For this same reason, the Water Jacket, Storm Gear, and Dragon Scales can be considered far better than the Dragon Mail, despite the fact that both the Water Jacket and Storm Gear have lower defense ratings (this is negligible with the Storm Gear but quite noticeable for the Water Jacket). However, all three pieces of equipment must be imported from the original, meaning some players will not have these alternatives available. Also, the Water Jacket, Storm Gear, and Dragon Scales are unique, but it is possible to obtain multiple Dragon Mails, and therefore the Dragon Mail can be given to Adepts who do not receive stronger alternatives. Of course, this is assuming that the player in question does not simply opt to equip armor with completely different functions, such as the Erebus Armor or Erinyes Tunic to name a few.
