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 strongest monsters will have high to-hit ratings however and will rarely be dodged, so absorb is more important than evade. | The base evade rating of all characters is 48 plus their agility rating.

== | == Armor types == | ||
=== Body === | |||
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. | 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.

=== | === Head === | ||
Helmets add more protection than body armor alone, but only the [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warrior]], [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Knight]], and [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Thief/Ninja|Ninja]] classes can equip more than the most basic helmet. 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. | Helmets add more protection than body armor alone, but only the [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Warrior]], [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Warrior/Knight|Knight]], and [[Final Fantasy/Classes#Thief/Ninja|Ninja]] classes can equip more than the most basic helmet.

As with [[#Head|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). | As with [[#Head|headgear]], arm protection adds a small amount of defense, but only a few classes can equip the best kinds.

=== | === Hand === | ||
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. | |||
=== | == 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. | |||
