Thigh boots, other clothes factor against meditation/regen?

[Campbell]

I've noticed that certain pieces of clothing (robes, thigh boots, etc.) give a small amount of AR when worn. I often have 1 - 4 AR just wearing clothes. The question is, do these AR-giving pieces of gear factor against the success rate / regen rate of Meditation, and / or against one's passive mana regen?

Thanks!

They do not slow meditation rate. With the right clothing setup, you can get somewhere around 11 AR, I believe, with no loss of meditation rate.

I'm intrigued! Anyone know the set I oughta be looking at for 11 AR with no penalties?

The number after the slash is the displayed AR. So:

Fancy Shirt - .6
Cape - 4.8
Bear Mask - .8
Fringed boots - 4.8

exactly 11 AR displayed.

I'm not sure how one obtains Cape and Fringed boots though. Without them you could replace it with Thigh Boots and Jester's shirt, which would give you instead:

Fancy shirt - .6
Jester shirt - 3.1
Bear Mask - .8
Thigh boots - 1.0

5.5 displayed AR, which I guess would round up to 6.
