Armor Maintenance

Intro
Most of this is common sense, but I am making it for proud new armor owners for peace of mind!
Real armor carries with it a very real commitment to maintenance! Some materials don't need as much, but sadly there is no such thing as maintenance free.
It's pretty straightforward really: steel rusts. so here's some tips to keep your armor from degrading too badly:
# Store your armor in a low humidity area.
# Don't leave your armor out in the sun (this is more of a big deal if your armor is painted)
# Your armor's finish will chip over time, it is best to either re-paint or seal the exposed areas.
## Oiling can weaken the paint bonds around a chip. Be careful.
# If your armor has lacing, make a proper stand so it isn't just a collapsed pile on the ground. This can put unintended stress on the lacing, causing it to rip.
# Every now and again, go through the chain portions of your armor and ensure that the rings are fully closed. Butted mail tends to open slightly over time, this allows the rings to slip apart and potentially cause structural failures in your armor.
# Wipe your sweat from the armor when you are finished using it.
# Avoid using your armor in the rain.
## If you happen to use armor in the rain, ensure that you fully dry it off in a low humidity area after use. This can be very problematic with Japanese armors because of the lacing. It is best practice to use a fan or heating device to dry out the lacing.
# While stainless steels require much less maintenance, in cases of total negligence, they can and will rust!
# Generally speaking, Kelm-Class armors do not rust.
## Titanium CAN corrode, but it is unlikely that your armor will encounter such environments that are able to accomplish this.
# Don't let your armor be used in a tug-of-war contest. It could rip.
