Smalland Backer Stone Armor Guide

If you were one of the lucky backers who supported Smalland during its Indiegogo campaign, congratulations—you’ve got exclusive bragging rights in the form of Smalland Backer Stone Armor. This early-game defensive armor set is not only functional but also a badge of honor for being part of the game's journey from concept to reality. Let’s find out how to craft this armor, why it’s worth the hype (even with its trade-offs), and how to make the most of it.

What’s So Special About Backer Stone Armor?

Smalland Backer Stone Armor is like the VIP lounge of early-game armor. It's similar to regular Stone Armor but reserved exclusively for the 112 backers who supported Smalland on Indiegogo. Besides being a symbol of your early support, it offers a great mix of defense and protection against the elements, with a catch: it’ll slow you down.

Here’s what you’re getting:

• Total Armor Rating: 36, making it a solid tanking option for early-game exploration and combat.
• Cold Protection: 12, because frosty mornings can sneak up on you.
• Piercing Resistance: 12, perfect for shrugging off pesky arrows or enemy stabs.
• Movement Penalty: -8%, so don’t expect to be winning any footraces.

This armor set is the perfect balance for when you need to soak up hits and look cool while doing it.

Step 1: Meet Kalev, the Armor Crafter Extraordinaire

To get your Smalland Backer Stone Armor, you’ll need to visit Kalev, the friendly NPC who serves as the gateway to tankier early-game gear. Kalev is conveniently located near your spawn point, so finding him is a breeze.

• He crafts Backer Stone Armor using his trusty Stonecutter.
• He gives helpful tips on the Mandibular Pickaxe, a must-have tool for progression.
• He’ll also point you toward Skadi, an important NPC for your adventure.

Kalev’s got your back—literally, with armor that can withstand a beating.

Step 2: Gather Your Crafting Materials

To suit up in Backer Stone Armor, you’ll need to gather a few key resources. Here’s the crafting recipe:

Resource	Amount Needed	Where to Find It
Fiber	21	Harvest plants in early-game zones. It’s abundant and easy to collect.
Resin	8	Look near large trees or collect it from resin-rich plants.
Stone	40	Mine rocky outcrops using basic tools. Check for grayish patches in the terrain.

Pro tip: Over-prepare! These resources are also handy for other crafting projects. Plus, it’s better to have too much than not enough when you’re already at the crafting station.

Step 3: Crafting the Backer Stone Armor

Once you’ve hoarded all the materials, it’s time to let Kalev work his magic. Using the Stonecutter, you can craft each piece of the Backer Stone Armor set. Here’s the breakdown:

Piece	Position	Armor Rating	Cold Protection	Piercing Resistance	Movement Penalty
Backer Stone Mask	Head	8	3	3	-2%
Backer Stone Breast	Torso	12	3	3	-2%
Backer Stone Greaves	Legs	8	3	3	-2%
Backer Stone Vambraces	Arms	8	3	3	-2%

Total Stats:

• Armor Rating: 36
• Cold Protection: 12
• Piercing Resistance: 12
• Movement Penalty: -8%

With these pieces combined, you’ll be a walking tank—albeit a slow one.

When to Use Backer Stone Armor

Backer Stone Armor isn’t just for flexing your exclusive gear. It’s also a practical option for certain situations:

• Exploring Cold Areas: The cold protection ensures you won’t freeze your wings off in frostier zones.
• Combat-Heavy Scenarios: The high defense and piercing resistance make it ideal for fighting aggressive enemies or tackling bosses.
• Braving Piercing Attacks: This set laughs in the face of stabby critters and projectile-launching foes.

Pro Tips to Offset the Downsides:

• Plan Your Fights: Engage enemies on your terms to make up for slower movement.
• Swap for Mobility: Keep a lighter armor set handy if you need to prioritize speed.
• Upgrade Later: While Backer Stone Armor is fantastic for the early game, don’t get too attached—it’ll eventually be outclassed by more advanced sets.
