Armor is an important part of the game, as its many resistances and weight will determine how effective you are in combat. This page features the many Armor sets in the game as well as their stats and the manner by which you can obtain them.

Please see this page for a guide on choosing the best armor for your character.

Please see Armor Showcase (video) for an ingame look at all armor sets.

Please see Sebastrd's spreadsheet with comprehensive stats for every armor piece in the game. Armors with an asterisk are particularly noteworthy for their poise, status defense, or physical defense/weight ratio. B13poi has edited the original spreadsheet to contain the AotA armors, as well as calculations for Defense/Weight and Poise/Weight. DeVore23 has edited the AotA spreadsheet to include calculations for Defense/Poise and a tab for armor set creation and stat comparison.

About the Categories
Armor is grouped into Light, Medium and Heavy Armor based on an endurance level of 40 (Burden = 80) as this seems to be the level a lot of players aim to cap their Endurance at (it corresponds to the Stamina cap of 160). This will surely change as the meta-game shifts and the page should be edited accordingly.

Note: These numbers DO NOT take into account weapons/shields/bows/etc.
Light, Medium and Heavy will ALWAYS depend upon your own equip burden stat.

Groupings are based on the following numbers (which correspond to movement/roll speed for that range of Equip Burden):

schwere Sets = 40.1 - 80
medium Sets = 20.1 - 40
leichte Sets = 0 - 20
