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)

The content cache contains some old data about equipment from the Vanguard test server. In that data:

  • Low test armor is AL 150 w/ level 3 item enchantments.
  • Mid test armor is AL 225 w/ level 4 item enchantments.
  • High test armor is AL 350 w/ level 6 item enchantments.
  • Extreme test armor is AL 400 w/ level 7 item enchantments.
  • Uber test armor is AL 400 w/ level 7 item enchantments.
