Crafted Armour Pieces

For armour pieces crafted by tailors & metalsmiths, I'm planning to reduce gradually the quantity of icons by using "generic names", planned to be {Light | Medium | Heavy} {Armour | Boots/Shoes | Gloves | Helm | Leggings | Shoulder Guards} {1 | 2 | 3} ({common | uncommon | rare | incomparable}. I've started with metalsmith so far with:

• Heavy Armour 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Armour 1 (rare)
• Heavy Boots 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Boots 1 (rare)
• Heavy Gloves 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Gloves 1 (rare)
• Heavy Helm 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Helm 1 (rare)
• Heavy Leggings 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Leggings 1 (rare)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 1 (uncommon)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 1 (rare)
• Heavy Armour 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Armour 2 (rare)
• Heavy Boots 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Boots 2 (rare)
• Heavy Gloves 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Gloves 2 (rare)
• Heavy Helm 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Helm 2 (rare)
• Heavy Leggings 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Leggings 2 (rare)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 2 (uncommon)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 2 (rare)
• Heavy Armour 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Armour 3 (rare)
• Heavy Boots 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Boots 3 (rare)
• Heavy Gloves 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Gloves 3 (rare)
• Heavy Helm 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Helm 3 (rare)
• Heavy Leggings 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Leggings 3 (rare)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 3 (uncommon)
• Heavy Shoulder Guards 3 (rare)

Later the "(incomparable)" will be added, more helms too, but that should be it for T1 to T5 and a part of T6, Lothlorien & Mirkwood icons will be different. --Goingbald 05:11, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

There are a few trivial differences between armour types -- light armour head items are usually hat or another similar word. There are also robes in the light armour category.

Should it be {Light | Medium | Heavy} {Armour | Boots/Shoes | Gloves | Helm/Hat | Leggings | Robe | Shoulder Guards} {1 | 2 | 3} {common | uncommon | rare | incomparable} or stay with helm for light armour items as well?

Yes, Hat in light armour if it's the name :) --Goingbald 20:20, 30 March 2011 (EDT)

Also, since all cloaks are light armour, do you think they should be called Light Cloak (quality) or just Cloak (quality)? I'm leaning towards the latter. Rubyctook 15:33, 27 March 2011 (EDT)

Just Cloak would be enough, it's implicit --Goingbald 20:20, 30 March 2011 (EDT)
