Changing Armor (lemmy.world)

I was doing pretty well on my attempt with three challenges. With huntress my +3 chilling sword and +1 spear was a nice combo for killing skeletons and guards. But I put on some too heavy armor to identify in a well and forgot to change it back. Got ambushed in the next room by 4 skeletons but they were on the other side of a big room... thought I had definitely enough time to change armor back.

Nope.

But I haven't been able to find out how many turns it actually takes to change armor, I would like to know so I don't die like this next time. Surely not more than six turns? Not only did they time to cross the room but also seemed to get at least three hits each

Although maybe I will actually remember to change it back after id next time...

Edit: also, is your armor basically zero if you get hit while changing armor?

Edit 2: in the new UI update, would it be possible to say how many turns it will take to equip an item?

Good and important question. Also weapons, rings, artifacts etc, and how many turns does it take to eat something without skill point investment? I have avoided needing to answer this so far by just being prudishly fastidious about changing in private, but yeah knowing exactly how long it would take would allow for better planning in rare edge cases where that doesn't work.

Heck, just a turn counter would allow me to figure it out myself. As it is, I have no idea how long anything takes.

Eating takes a few turns (I don't know how many). I've been killed by ranged attacks from mobs who approached me while eating. I always make sure to spend talent points on the "eating takes one turn" ability.

Eating takes 3 turns. Took me a minute to check, just enter on a new run, be in front of an enemy, and eat. It will run to you / hit you / a mix of them 3 times.
