Elite armor

Description
The Ascended Armor is a class of prestige armor art. There is an Ascended armor art version for almost every armor art type. The only armor art types that don't have an ascended version are the "beginner" types of Ascalon, Krytan, Tyrian, Shing Jea, and Seitung; some prophecies armor such as the Warrior's Knight's Armor; 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 Ascended 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 Ascended art does not look like the standard art at all.

Also keep in mind that Ascended armor has max stats, and is no different than any other maxed armor. The only reason for buying Ascended armor is for looks and reputation. You do not need to be ascended to wear this armor.
