Armor is worn to help protect oneself from attacks. Different kinds of armor provide different amounts of protection, but no armor can protect you completely. Some armor can even have disadvantages. For example, metal armor conducts magical energy and makes magic based attacks stronger.
Anything lower than mithril is pretty much useless although low level free players can use them the bonuses are pretty bad.
Spined Armor
Rock-Shell Armor
Skeletal Armor
Quest Armor
KHAZARD ARMOR - This armor is used in Fight Arena. In order to get into the Khazard Battlefield, you must be wearing this armor. However, change into better armor once you begin to fight the Khazard Ogre.
Bronze Armor
The very worst kind, not worth buying because almost immediately you can get full iron. Just about useless.
Iron Armor
The first set of armor that is actually worth buying. commonly used by pures who can't wear any real armor. Pretty useless.
Steel Armor
The first half useful set of armor for high levels, it's cheap and commonly made strictly for smithing exp. Not yet useful, but getting there.
Mithril Armor
The first set that is respectable, has a good defense and isn't outrageously expensive so it is common for pkers. Useful.
Adamant Armor
Very possibly the bane of the armor market, is barely worse than rune but drastically cheaper. Very useful.

The best armor available to F2P. A full set costs about 180-200k.
Granite Armor
You can get the Body from Barbarian Assault, the Shield from Gargoyles, and the Legs from Skeletal Wyverns.
Dragon Armor
Probably the most expensive armor in the game. most of the dragon pieces can be obtained from drops from monsters, the med. helmet, chain, legs, and the two handed sword can be obtained from drops. although as of the release of barbarian assault the chain can be obtained there.
you can also get the left half of the dragon square shield from drops from monsters, you need to buy the other half at the legends guild for 750k. You need 60 smithing to put them both together.
