'''Body armor''' is perhaps the most common form of protection against the attacks of foes.  Body armor typically covers at least the torso of a hero, though some forms can cover much more to provide better protection. As an alternative to standard body armor, enchanted shirts or bracelets can be worn. Each adventurer may carry up to four pieces of armor (beware, this includes helmets, shields, and gauntlets as well) but may only equip one piece of body 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 [[#Hand|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.
* [[../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.
* [[../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.


== Body ==
== Combat mechanics ==
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.


=== Black Robe ===
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.

=== Chain Mail ===
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.

'''Chain mail''' is the hallmark of the young warrior just setting out to make a name for himself.  It is a functional, if awkward, suit of armor that is worn over a tunic.  It consists of many small metal rings chained together to make a shirt.  Chain mail covers the torso and arms as well as often hanging for a distance below the waist.  The nature of the rings leads to an ability to deflect many blows that would have landed, but the rings provide very little protection from bludgeoning attacks or thrusting attacks that slip into the holes in the rings.
== Armor types ==


Chain Mail is the best starting armor for Fighters and Red Mages, as the weak monsters in the early parts of the game do almost no damage to a Chain Mail-clad warrior.
=== Body ===
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.


Chain Mail may be worn by:
=== Head ===
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.


* Fighter / Knight
=== Arms ===
* Ninja
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).
* Red Mage / Red Wizard


=== Copper Armlet ===
=== Hand ===
:'''Cost:''' 1000
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.

The '''Copper Bracelet''' is a simple magical item made of copper.  It is worn around the wrist of a hero who does not wish to be burdened down with large, bulky armor.  The Copper Bracelet is enchanted to provide minor protection, and does not work when other armor is worn.  However, for many mages and wizards, who do not wear other armor because it interferes with spellcasting, the Copper Bracelet is an excellent way to improve chances of survival.
== Armor details ==
See the [[#Class details|class details]] chart below for a more detailed list of which classes can equip each piece of armor, and note that some armors have further explanation in the [[#Special weapons|special weapons]] section.


Copper Bracelets may be worn by:
In the table below, when two '''names''' are reported, the first one is from the NES version, the second one from the PSX and GBA remakes.


* Fighter / Knight
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.

'''Wooden armor''' is an extremely primitive form of protection widely used before the advent of metal-working.  It is made of thin planks of wood and covers the torso but not the arms or other parts of the body.  Some modern cultures retain it as ceremonial garb as all forms of metal armor are superior both in protection and flexibility to wooden armor.  However, the armorers of Coneria still produce a number of sets of wooden armor, along with chain mail, intended for combat use. 
==== Gloves ====


Thieves and Black Belts find Wooden Armor the best starting armor.

A '''cloth shirt''' is a basic tunic made of simple cloth.  Most peasants and merchants wear cloth shirts, not needing much more protection.  Almost no protection from assault is provided by a cloth shirt, but the shirt is cheap and does not interfere with the intricate movements that mages need to perform to cast their spells.  Cloth shirts are not recommended for anyone who expects to engage in physical combat, especially hand-to-hand battles.
When equipping armor parts, give priority to those with special properties.


Cloth provides "better-than-nothing" protection for starting White and Black Mages.

* '''Steel set:''' all the parts were named "Iron" in the NES version.
:'''Sell:''' n/a
* '''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.
:'''Defense:''' 24
* '''Mithril set:''' ''Silver'' in the NES version.
:'''Evasion:''' 2
* '''Elemental sub-sets:''' equip two parts that protect from different elements; note that there is no protection from thunder element.
:'''Special:''' Added effect of Invs2 on party
* '''Diamond set:''' ''Opal'' in the NES version.
:'''Location:''' Flying Fortress
* '''Ultimate set:''' all parts have special effects; if your team includes both Knight and Ninja, split this set between them.


== Head ==
'''Helmets''' are considered by many heroes to be necessary to survival when adventuring, as they protect the warrior's head from attacks.  Most characters cannot wear stronger helmets than the Cap, though Fighters and Ninja have access to three helmets and the Knight to five.  Each adventurer may carry up to four pieces of armor (beware, this includes armor, shields, and gauntlets as well) but may only equip one helmet.

The '''Wooden Helmet''' is a simple piece of protective headgear made of wood.  It protects a hero's head from enemy attacks.  However, wood is not the optimal material for such protection and the Wooden Helmet does not provide much protection.  They are also heavy and have a tendency to impede vision.  As such, they are an unpopular piece of armor, especially for spellcasting adventurers.

The '''Cap''' is a light helmet that most characters can use to protect their heads.  Caps are usually made of leather or cloth and provide minimal protection.  However, most heroes are capable of wearing them and so they are a common choice of headgear until magical ribbons can be found and equipped.
 
Caps may be found in:

'''Shields''' are large metal sheets worn on the left hand of a warrior.  The shield is used to fend off enemy attacks.  Many warriors owe their lives to their shields, as the shield takes many hits that otherwise could kill the hero using it. An adventurer may carry one shield.

'''Iron Shields''' are medium-sized shields that adventurers wear on their non-weapon hands to protect themselves from attack.  They are similar to Wooden Shields, but larger and stronger due to their being made of hard iron rather than wood.  The Iron Shield still leaves much of the hero vulnerable to attack, and does little to protect him from magical assault.
 
Iron Shields may be worn by the Fighter / Knight and the Ninja

The '''Wooden Shield''' is a simple defensive device.  It is a small round piece of wood with a strap that attaches to a hero's left arm, allowing the right arm free to use a weapon.  Wooden Shields are extremely hard to use properly, and even seasoned warriors often find them to be more trouble than they are worth.
 
Wooden Shields provide some extra defensive power for Fighters, and are cheap enough to make them worthwhile early in the game.

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:

Combat mechanics[edit]

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.

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.

Armor types[edit]

Body[edit]

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[edit]

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

Arms[edit]

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 which blocks instant death attacks (except Petrification).

Hand[edit]

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 technically isn't a shield, it can be equiped by most characters that cannot use shields.

Armor details[edit]

See the class details chart below for a more detailed list of which classes can equip each piece of armor, and note that some armors have further explanation in the special weapons section.

In the table below, when two names are reported, the first one is from the NES version, the second one from the PSX and GBA remakes.

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.

Special effects:

  • Item: use the armor from the "Item" menu to cast a spell; alignment (B/W) and level (1-8) of the spell are noted as well; in order to use it as an item, it is not relevant whether the weapon is equipped or not.
  • Elements: Fire is strong versus ice attacks; Ice is strong versus fire attacks. The Dragon Mail protects from fire, ice and lightning too.

Many armors can only be equipped by specific characters. The tables below reports all of them, abbreviated as follows:

  • wK: Warrior and Knight
  • tN: Thief and Ninja
  • mM: Monk and Master
  • rR: Red Mage and Red Wizard
  • wW: White Mage and White Wizard
  • bB: Black Mage and Black Wizard

Recommendations[edit]

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.

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.

When equipping armor parts, give priority to those with special properties.

The only armor parts recommended for purchase

Notable armor sets[edit]

Armor parts can be grouped into sets. The parts in a set have generally some of the following in common: (1) same name; (2) same users; (3) nearby location; (4) similar special properties.

Light armor[edit]

These armor parts can be used by every character, with justy few exceptions. In particular, they are the only armor parts that can be worn by the White Mage/Wizard and the Black Mage/Wizard.

Heavy armor[edit]

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:

  • Steel set: all the parts were named "Iron" in the NES version.
  • 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.
  • Mithril set: Silver in the NES version.
  • Elemental sub-sets: equip two parts that protect from different elements; note that there is no protection from thunder element.
  • Diamond set: Opal in the NES version.
  • Ultimate set: all parts have special effects; if your team includes both Knight and Ninja, split this set between them.
