Armor types

Sometimes the difference between a few intense seconds of near-death in combat and a -15% penalty is just in the kind of armor you wrap around yourself. Your primary profession determines what sorts of armor you can wear. Listed here are the types of armor available to each class, as well as where to get it, how much it costs, and what it does.

Armor generally comes in sets. For example, a Necromancer can purchase a Bonelace Tunic, Gloves, Leggings, and Boots. Hence, it's called the Bonelace set.

If you're interested in what a particular set of armor looks like, a good way to check is by creating a PVP Character and playing with the equipment selection available.

Armor are either purchased (crafted) by NPCs in a city, or traded for by collectors found in or around cities.
