¶ Armor
In Chronicles of Arcadia, players can pick from many types of armor. Shops offer different kind of items such as they drop from monsters, world bosses or instances. Also, you can craft your own armor. Depending what class you play, you can choose from four different kind:
- Plate
- Chain
- Leather
- Cloth
The type of armor you pick is important for fighting. For example, plate armor is very good for stopping physical attacks, but not as good for magic attacks. On the other hand, magical robes are good for stopping spells but not as good for physical attacks.
¶ How to upgrade armor
Upgrading the tier of an item significantly enhances its basic attributes, as well as its ability to deal damage, heal, or defend. This can be accomplished through the use of the Arcane Transmutor.
To find the newest stats, you can visit the Stat Lines page.
Specific armor now can have Dynamic Equip Attributes. This system is connected to Orkham.
¶ How to improve armor
Improving your armor involves using special items called Jewel Stones. To use a Jewel Stone, you simply right-click on it and then click on the armor piece you want to enhance.
To learn where to get Jewel Stones and which to use, you can use the Jewel Stones page.
¶ Armor Sets
Many armors are part of a set. These give you a special bonus if you have more than one piece of this set equipped. These can be for example more damage, more heal or more defense.
The most recent sets are from:
- Dark Core
- Realm of the Forgotten Legends
and for new players:
- Set for Phirius Shells from Minigames
¶ How to use runes
In every part of the armor can be put up to 4 Runes. For detailed information on how to use and manage runes, refer to the Runes section.
To find out which is the best rune for your class or what runes exist, you can take a look at the Runes page and the Rune Transmutation page.
¶ Durability of armor
In Chronicles of Arcadia, each item you acquire has a durability score, which can range from 71 to 120 (except Dark Core). For detailed information on item durability, refer to the Durability section.
