Does anyone know what the appraisal of a heavy plate armor piece forged from vardite is?

Thanks!

Vardite has the same physical resistance as tyrium. I don't actually have vardite but maybe this will help.

The plate gauntlets are plate armor.

The gauntlets look like they offer protection for the following areas:

right hand
left hand

You feel certain that some gilded tyrium plate gauntlets with heavy damite knuckleguards appear to impose fair (5/15) maneuvering hindrance and light (3/15) stealth hindrance, offering:
very great (10/15) protection and incredible (15/18) damage absorption for puncture attacks.
very great (10/15) protection and incredible (15/18) damage absorption for slice attacks.
great (9/15) protection and incredible (15/18) damage absorption for impact attacks.
high (7/15) protection and great (11/18) damage absorption for fire attacks.
high (7/15) protection and great (11/18) damage absorption for cold attacks.
very good (6/15) protection and great (11/18) damage absorption for electrical attacks.

If you were only wearing some gilded tyrium plate gauntlets with heavy damite knuckleguards your maneuvering would be insignificantly (3/14) hindered and your stealth would be minimally (2/14) hindered.
But considering all the armor and shields you are wearing or carrying, you are currently highly (10/14) hindered and your stealth is greatly (11/14) hindered.

You are certain that the plate gauntlets are nearly impervious to damage (17/18), and are rather scuffed up (70-79%).

The plate gauntlets are made with metal.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has a quality of 87, placing it at 'somewhat pure' on the official Trader's Scale.
You estimate that the metal in the plate gauntlets is absurdly hard.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has a durability of 80, placing it at 'great durability' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has a workability of 40, placing it at 'somewhat challenging to work with' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has an electrical resistance of 70, placing it at 'not a very good conductor of electricity' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has a thermal resistance of 70, placing it at 'not very good at transfering heat and cold' on the official Trader's Scale.
You are certain that the metal in the plate gauntlets has a physical resistance of 99, placing it at 'incredibly good at repelling physical blows' on the official Trader's Scale.
You wonder if the plate gauntlets probably weighs a few hundred stones.
You are certain that the plate gauntlets are worth exactly 2097041 Kronars.
Roundtime: 16 seconds.


sJ> analyze my gaunt
You deeply analyze the plate gauntlets and pore over its construction.
These appear to be a type of finished metal plate armor that are masterfully-crafted.
The gauntlets are a simple piece to make.
It was made by someone with an impressive amount of skill compared to your own.
About 17 volume of metal was used in this item's construction.
The metal appears to be composed of: 29.41% platinum, and 70.58% tyrium.
Roundtime: 8 sec.

They also have very close to the same densities, so that's likely very accurate .

That in vardite should be identical at 73% vardite, 27% platinum, give or take a little. It also would protect a little better from electricity, but would lose a good bit on thermal protection due to differences between tyrium and vardite stats.
