Forgotten Armory: Chinese Dynasties mod — description, download link and installation guide

Forgotten Armory: Chinese Dynasties is a Vintage Story mod by AladarCZ and PrincessCrystal. Forgotten Armory: Chinese Dynasties adds ornate iron and steel scale and brigandine armour inspired by Chinese dynasties, with modular decorations.

Why this mod is worth installing

This mod suits players who want late-game armour with a strong historical-fantasy identity and many visual customization options. It is especially useful for warriors, roleplayers, and collectors seeking alternatives to vanilla equipment.

What Forgotten Armory: Chinese Dynasties adds

The mod introduces three armour families. Song and Jin use layered scale construction with different helmet shapes, while Qing uses brigandine and comes in plain or coloured versions for the head, torso, and legs.

These sets are intended as expensive late-game alternatives to vanilla gear. Their schematics come from deciphered Dusty Scrolls found in ruins or obtained from the Treasure Trader, making the armour a long-term progression goal.

Decoration is modular, so a finished set can be kept restrained or enhanced with feathers, plumes, crests, tails, laurels, insignia, and other visual elements. Materials and colour choices help distinguish military, ceremonial, and personal styles.

Song Dynasty — Scale Set

Jin Dynasty — Scale Set

Qing Dynasty — Brigandine Set

The Song collection combines open and masked helmets with layered scale armour and extensive decoration choices. The Jin set has its own helmet profile while retaining the same modular approach, ranging from practical military gear to ornate ceremonial armour.
