Having the right equipment is everything in the , and that goes for armor as much as it goes for arms. As in almost any RPG, a suit of armor affects the equipped character's defense.
And like many RPGs, certain suits of armor in have special effects, like boosting their defense against certain kinds of attacks, or even offering unique perks.
Also important to note is that certain suits of armor are restricted to certain Vocationsin — don't expect to slap a suit of plate armor onto your Mage, or get away with a thin robe on your Warrior.
You'll inevitably upgrade and shuffle around your armor throughout the game as you find new pieces in chests, as quest rewards, or at shops, but here are the best suits of armor you should look out for. The Shimmering Dress is one of the most powerful sets in.
Boasting a whopping 90 defense, the Shimmering Dress can be equipped by any class: Hero, Warrior, Martial Artist, Mage, Priest, Thief, Merchant, Gadabout, Sage, and Monster Wrangler.
