Armor in Chrono Odyssey reduces incoming damage and provides secondary stats. Equipment choices affect movement and playstyle. Any class can wear any armor type.
Armor types
Type | Focus | Dodge Animation | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
Light | Mobility | Roll | DPS and ranged |
Medium | Balanced | Dash | Versatile builds |
Heavy | Protection | Step | Tanking |
Gear rarity
Equipment comes in five tiers:
Rarity | Color | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Common | White | Basic stats |
Uncommon | Green | Slightly better stats |
Rare | Blue | Good stats, some affixes |
Epic | Purple | Strong stats, multiple affixes |
Legendary | Orange | Best stats, most affixes |
Higher rarity items are harder to acquire but provide significantly better performance.
Enhancement system
Instead of constantly crafting new equipment, players enhance existing items. Visit Richter in Dawn Slope or any Enchanter to upgrade gear. Enhancement increases stats, attributes, and gear score.
Each upgrade costs more gold and materials than the last. Higher enhancement levels may have failure chances, requiring careful resource management.
Enchanting
Enchanting adds affixes to weapons and armor. Some gear rolls random affixes on drop, while others allow manual rerolling through specific materials.
Enchanting becomes important at endgame for PvP builds and dungeon optimization.
Gem sockets
Higher-rarity gear can have gem sockets. Gems typically upgrade skill levels for specific abilities. Socket availability depends on the equipment piece and its rarity.
Refinement
Refinement allows rerolling secondary stats on gear to better match your build. This system enables tailoring equipment to specific playstyles.
Gear tips
Low-tier gear is temporary
Focus on +3 to +5 enhancement early
Save rare materials for higher-rarity equipment
Enhancement stones drop from elite mobs
