That's just not true. I have a set of fully upgraded padded armor that sits in a chest collecting dust because I don't like how it looks and it's TOTAL OVERKILL. With baked goods and silver armor you still barely even notice getting hit by regular fulings or deathsquitos. Like literally seconds after getting hit you're back at 100% health just from passive food regen. I wear a silver helm and chest with a linen cape and iron greeves 'cause I think that outfit looks pretty decent. Also played with someone who does the end content in full iron with a lox cape and they're also not having any issues. I've cleared a half dozen fuling camps and they've never killed me.

Agreed, you have the option to wear anything or even nothing, if you prefer. I wear troll in the forest, meadows and even in the swamps if I'm not there to fight hordes. But, the padded armor is superior to any other armor you choose in the game. The same can be said of which ever armor you have most recently gotten and upgraded up to that point. I didn't say that you couldn't wear various armors, just that each one you get renders previous sets obsolete in terms of stats. Also, eating is not a factor, I don't see how eating has anything to do with armor stats. I just wish there were more options for different situations.

I am able to sneak up on and one-shot a Fuling in the Plains wearing full Padded Armor. It just isn't necessary to have more "Sneak" ability at that level.

The Troll Armor sneak bonuses are there to enable early game players the ability to do some sneaking before they build that skill set up.

Troll hide is your only other option.

The game really does need more armor options. It would be cool if starred trolls dropped a different type of troll hide, so you could get green and red troll armor that protects more. Then you could add hides and armor for other creatures, like drakes.

There is currently only one armor per tier. So if you find one that you like, it better be the best one or you are going to have to pick between looking rad or being at par with the content.

if you can parry you can wear whatever you want easily.

YMMV ...

cool any tips for finding trolls? I cant find them and i cant find troll cave

Obvious answer is wander around in the Black Forest zone(s).

Sometimes you fall over a troll every couple of steps it seems and at other times you struggle to find one. Just keep looking is the best advice coupled with I have found them easier and more often (it seems to me) close to shorelines.

Seeing as each game is randomly generated it is all a big lottery.

Go to Black Forrest, start whacking on a tree, troll will be delivered.
