=== Reducing Multi-Slot to Single-Slot ===
{{Related|Multi-slot Armor Teaser}}

==== Armor Reduction Tools ====
Most loot armor pieces that cover more than one slot can be reduced to cover a single slot using special reduction tools sold by the tailors.  Multi-slot armor is at a disadvantage to single-slot armor because it limits the total number of armor pieces a character can wear simulataneously.  Armor reduction tools allow a player to overcome this disadvantage while still maintaining the appearance of multi-slot armor pieces.  Wearing 9 single-slot armor pieces allows the player to maximize the number of active spells and cantrips they are wearing.

Reduction tools are sold by the tailors for 50 [[MMD]]s each.

Simply apply the reduction tool to the piece you want to reduce.  Like tailoring, this action is non-reversable, so use caution when reducing!

==== Tailoring After Reducing ====
A common area of confusion is how to correctly tailor items which have been reduced.  Reduced items behave the same as non-reduced items with one exception: a reduced item cannot be tailored onto another reduced item.  Below are the scenarios for all of the tailoring possibilities after reducing a piece.
# Tailor a single slot item with a desired appearance onto the reduced item.
#* Example: Applying a Yoroi Breastplate (chest) onto a reduced Amuli Coat (3 slots, reduced to chest).
# Tailor a reduced item with desired appearance onto a single slot item with desired stats.
#* Example: Applying reduced Alduressa leggings (3 slots, reduced to abdomen) onto a Leather girth (abdomen).
# You cannot directly tailor a reduced item onto another reduced item.  However, you can work around this and achieve the same result using a three step process.
## Purchase or find a junk item that matches the coverage of what you want to tailor.  Its appearance and stats do not matter.
## Tailor the reduced item with the appearance you want onto the junk item.  It will take on the appearance you want and keep the junk item's stats.
## Tailor the junk item which now has the appearance you want onto the other reduced item with the desired stats.
