Elite armor

Description
The Elite Armor is a class of prestige armor art. There is an Elite armor art version for almost every armor art type; the only armor art types that don't have an Elite version are the "beginner" types of Ascalon, Krytan, Tyrian, Shing Jea, and Seitung; or other prestige armor art like Obsidian. As with all prestige armor arts, it's only available as level 20 armor.

The look of the Elite art is usually very similar to the standard art of the same type, but with much finer detail or more dazzling colors. Because of the better looks, this armor is highly desired as a status symbol by many players. There are, however, a few cases where the Elite art does not look like the standard art at all.

Also keep in mind that Elite armor has max stats, and is no different than any other maxed armor. The only reason for buying Elite armor is for looks and reputation.
