Armor
Armor can be broken into 3 major categories:
- Standard armor - average armor level, enchantable
- Hollow Proof armor - high armor level, usually unenchantable, self buffing (covenant armor, olthoi armor)
- Mage armor - low armor level, usually enchantable, and usually includes an enchantment that greatly improves AL (Heiromancer's armor, Perfect Light set, quest robes)
