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|body]], [[#Head|head]], [[#Arms|arms]], and [[#Hand|shields]]. Each character class can equip a different set of armor:
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|body]], [[#Head|head]], [[#Arms|arms]], and [[#Shields|shields]]. Each character class can equip a different set of armor:
* [[../Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warriors and Knights]] use heavy body armor and helmets, and can equip large shields.
* [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warriors and Knights]] use heavy body armor and helmets, and can equip large shields.
* [[../Classes#Thief/Ninja|Thieves and Ninjas]] use lighter, but can still equip helmets and small shields.
* [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Thief/Ninja|Thieves and Ninjas]] use lighter, but can still equip helmets and small shields.
* [[../Classes#Monk/Master|Monks and Masters]] use only the lightest equipment and no shields.
* [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Monk/Master|Monks and Masters]] use only the lightest equipment and no shields.
* [[../Classes#Red Mage/Red Wizard|Red Mages and Wizards]] can use most of the same equipment as Thieves and Ninjas
* [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Red Mage/Red Wizard|Red Mages and Wizards]] can use most of the same equipment as Thieves and Ninjas
* [[../Classes#White Mage/White Wizard|White]] and [[../Classes#Black Mage/Black Wizard|Black]] Mages/Wizards can use very little armor, and no shields.
* [[Final Fantasy/Classes#White Mage/White Wizard|White]] and [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Black Mage/Black Wizard|Black]] Mages/Wizards can use very little armor, and no shields.


== Combat mechanics ==
== Body ==
Each character has an absorb and evade rating.  Up to four pieces of armor may be equipped, each adding to the absorb rating and decreasing the evade rating.  Thus higher absorb ratings are better while lower evade ratings are preferred.  The strongest monsters will have high to-hit ratings however and will rarely be dodged, so absorb is more important than evade.


The base absorb rating of a character is 0, except for unarmored monks/masters which have absorb equal to their level. A bug in the NES version causes the monk/master to have their absorb reset to the unarmored level on leveling up, until the armor page is visited again to correctly set it.
Body armor comes in two flavors: heavy [[#Mail|mail]] which offers more protection but can be used by fewer classes, and [[#Armlets|armlets]], which over less protection but more mobility and can be used by all classes. Given the choice, go with mail over armlets.


The base evade rating of all characters is 48 plus their agility rating.  Every extra point of evade generally decreases the character's chance to be hit by 0.5%.  The weight of an armor ''reduces'' a character's ability to evade attack.  Therefore, a Knight that equips Knight's Armor, the heaviest armor in the game, will be unlikely to avoid many attacks.

=== Body ===
==== Chain Mail ====
Body armor comes in several flavors.  Heavy mail offers high protection at the small cost of reduced evasion, but can only be used by a few classes.  Shirts or robes generally offer poor protection, and are intended for use by mages and wizards.  Armlets offer varying levels of protection with good evasion and can be used by all classes, but at high cost.

=== Head ===
==== Clothes ====
Helms add more protection than body armor alone, but only the [[../Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warrior]], [[../Classes#Warrior/Knight|Knight]], and [[../Classes#Thief/Ninja|Ninja]] classes can equip more than the most basic helm. The most worthwhile headgear in the game is the [[#Ribbon|ribbon]], which offers little physical protections, but makes the wearer immune to all status effects.

=== Arms ===
==== Diamond Armor ====
As with headgear, arm protection adds a small amount of defense, but only a few classes can equip the best kinds. The most useful piece is the [[#Protect Ring|protect ring]] which blocks instant death attacks (except Petrification).

=== Hand ===
==== Dragon Mail ====
Off-hand items, generally 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|protect cloak]] technically isn't a shield, it can be equiped by most characters that cannot use shields.

Default sorting is by '''price'''. Armors that can only be found but not purchased are listed afterwards, as more valuable; their listed price is twice the selling price, because every armor can be sold for half its purchasing price; anyway, their Price cell is shaded in gray.

Buy armor parts only if a character has an empty slot. This means only purchase armor parts early in the game: body armor in Cornelia, gloves in Pravoka, caps in Elfheim, shields in Pravoka and Crescent Lake.
== 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|protect cloak]] technically isn't a shield, it can be equiped by most characters that cannot use shields.


After that, every useful armor part can be found '''for free''' in chests and dungeons. Purchasing further armor parts would be a waste of money.

=== Heavy armor ===
=== Leather Shield ===
These armor parts are mainly used by the '''Warrior/Knight''' and by the '''Ninja'''. Some parts can be used by the '''Thief''' and the '''Red Mage/Wizard''', but these two classes will generally get better protection from the light armor parts.

Some notes:
=== Mythril Shield ===
* '''Steel set:''' all the parts were named "Iron" in the NES version.
:'''Original Name''': Silver Shield
* '''Leftovers set:''' the ''Bronze gloves'' can be found for free; the ''Buckler shield'' is a must for the Red Mage/Wizard and for the Thief; the ''Knight's armor'' should be avoided because it is extremely expensive and it has the worst weight in the game.
:'''Cost''': 2500
* '''Mithril set:''' ''Silver'' in the NES version.
:'''Sell''': 1250
* '''Elemental sub-sets:''' equip two parts that protect from different elements; note that there is no protection from thunder element.
:'''Defense''': 8
* '''Diamond set:''' ''Opal'' in the NES version.
:'''Evasion''': --
* '''Ultimate set:''' all parts have special effects; if your team includes both Knight and Ninja, split this set between them.
