There are many types of armaments in Dragon Quest VIII. Some grant special resistances; others can only equipped by certain characters. Some armaments can change the appearance of your characters.

There are four types of armaments; Armor, Shields, Helms and Accessories. Armor, Shields and Helms all increase a character's Defense. While there are some Accessories that increase Defense, many other Accessories provide benefits to stats such as Wisdom or Strength.
