Description (Move your mouse to reveal the content) Description (open) Description (close) Harvested from skulltula spiders and treated to remove its stickiness, skulltula silk can be used to create remarkably durable clothing. While nowhere near as strong as metal armor, skulltula silk does provide far more protection then simple clothing. This makes it ideal armor for those whom heavy metal armor isn't an option. The treatment for skulltula silk also removes its extreme flammability, making it as vulnerable to fire as normal clothing would be.
Ooh, I like this. A material that doesn't involve blade-metals. Me gusta; this is also something that I can see myself legitimately getting. Protective gear for my mage that isn't ridiculous? Sign me up! Can it be colored in making clothes, does it have to be dull white, or d'you think it doesn't matter enough to specify?
I figured the silk itself is a dull white, but like most cloth it can be dyed and decorated in any way you can imagine.
I like this concept. Can you give me an example on its defensive strength, though? Like... will this prevent a dagger from cutting someone if it's slashed at an article of clothing made from this?
I would say...it's about as effective as chainmail. Just like normal skulltula webs, you're chances of cutting through something so tightly woven is pretty nil. Not that that makes you immune to swords and such, the cloth doesn't protect against the force of a weapon, so getting hit with a sword still means getting hit with a giant metal stick. You just won't get cut. Weapons that pierce likes spears or arrows are less affected by the cloth. It still probably wouldn't cut through it, but the weapon still has a sharp point and can probably stab you through the cloth unless it was inches thick. The skulltula silk would basically make getting stabbed by a spear more like getting stabbed by a blunt spear.

You could probably set it all the way at 20 rupees per bolt. We are talking about a material where someone has to go out and collect skulltula webs without getting stuck/eaten. Unless they somehow had a skulltula farm, but I imagine that would be an equally as unpleasant profession, haha.

It'd probably be simpler to just take out the "bolt" thing. `Skulltula Silk Borderline Canon, Magic-Tier - Defense [Material], [Organic], [Protection], [Single-Use] 20 rupees Harvested from skulltula spiders and treated to remove its stickiness, this dull white silk can be used to create remarkably durable clothing.
