Armor

Seria says: "Nothing should be as mysterious as I am!" Some info is missing, please help to provide it if you can.

Armor includes the Head/Shoulder, Top, Bottom, Belt, and Shoes slots. These items tend to give Physical defenses, but can also give armor slot, and skill level bonuses. Upgrading armor will give Physical Damage Bonus Reduction. Please refer to Enhancing for success rates and failure penalties. Armor also has a chance to possess a Magic Seal. Refer to Magic Sealed Equipment for more information.

Originally, there are five types of armor: Cloth Armor, Leather Armor, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, and Plate Armor. Although all classes can wear all armor, they will gain bonuses depending on their armor masteries. See Armor Masteries for more information. As of the Verge of Recollection Update, Armor Textures have removed from the Global Client.

Class Armor Masteries

Though you can use any piece of armor you like, each character class has an armor type (or 3 in the case of the Exorcist) most suited to them upon Class Advancement. The Dark Knight and Creator have armor masteries upon character creation.

Note: There are no penalties to wearing armor outside of your mastery.

• Inferior
• Weak
• Ordinary

Extra attributes such as Elemental Resistances, Status Tolerances, Stat increases like STR, VIT, HP and MP are all affected by the grade quality of the item in question. Stats may vary within the same quality range. Two items with superior quality may have differing stats but will both be generally stronger than a lower quality. Grade quality affects the Physical Defense of Armors and the Magic Defense of Accessories.
