Basic armor

Level 20 armor is a term used in the Prima Guide that refers to armor with the stats that much of the game balance is based on, the naming coming from an old era when armor used to have requirements. Below are the general base characteristics for different profession categories (details may vary with the specific set):

In terms of the Prophecies Campaign content, level 20 armor is any armor available starting at Droknar's Forge. For Factions Campaign, they are any armor available starting at Kaineng Center. This naturally includes Ascended Armor and Obsidian Armor.

PvP characters always wear level 20 armor.
