Armour

Armour is a type of equipment the player can wear on their Envoy. Whilst this will affect the cosmetic appearance of the player's outfit, it will also have an impact on their stats.

For enemy armour, see Enemy Armour.

Helms, Cuirasses, and Leggings may be equipped via the Arsenal in the Nightfold. Unlike Weapons and Pacts, Armour cannot be Leveled, though it does consume Storage Capacity.

Each piece grants Defensive Stats tied to three core damage types (Physical, Magick, and Stability):

Each piece contributes to the Envoy's total defense, displayed in the top-right corner of the Arsenal. This includes a combined total and a breakdown by Damage Type.

• The Bestitching feature allows the player to equip Armour of their choice without it impacting their stats, at the cost of Moonsteel Thread.
  • Bestitching for Talismans has been confirmed for a future update.
    

• The colour of the player's Armour can be customised at Verminia, using any of the player's unlocked Palettes. Accessories may not be customised.

• Prior to Preludes 14.5: Ode'n Tempers, Envoys could carry unlimited Armour as it consumed no Storage Capacity. When this was changed in Preludes 14.5, the previous Pact and Weapon slots were combined into universal Storage Capacity, and all Armour was granted matching Storage Capacity, so existing items remained covered.

• Prior to Preludes 12: Thawtide, Talismans were also categorised as Armour. With the release of Thawtide, they were moved into a new category named Accessories.

• In Preludes 9 and earlier, Armour was purely cosmetic, and any piece could be worn with no impact on the player's stats. This was changed in Preludes 10, when defensive stats were placed onto Armour.
