Cleanup required: Armor data could be tabulated
Armor not only affects how much damage an enemy can do, but also affects your evasion and speed. There are four types of armor: body, head, arms, and shields. Each character class can equip a different set of armor:
- Warriors and Knights use heavy body armor and helmets, and can equip large shields.
- Thieves and Ninjas use lighter, but can still equip helmets and small shields.
- Monks and Masters use only the lightest equipment and no shields.
- Red Mages and Wizards can use most of the same equipment as Thieves and Ninjas
- White and Black Mages/Wizards can use very little armor, and no shields.

[edit] Body
Body armor comes in two flavors: heavy mail which offers more protection but can be used by fewer classes, and armlets, which over less protection but more mobility and can be used by all classes. Given the choice, go with mail over armlets.

[edit] Head
Helmets add more protection than body armor alone, but only the Warrior, Knight, and Ninja classes can equip more than the most basic helmet. The most worthwhile headgear in the game is the ribbon, which offers little physical protections, but makes the wearer immune to all status effects.

[edit] Shields
Shields not only give protection, but they can randomly block a physical attack, resulting in no damage to the wearer. Equip a character with shield if possible, no matter how weak it is since a block absorbs all damage. Since the protect cloak technically isn't a shield, it can be equiped by most characters that cannot use shields.
