11 Armor in Windrose occupies five equipment slots (Head, Torso, Hands, Legs, Feet) and ranges across five documented rarity tiers, with 41 armor items confirmed at game version 0.10.0.0.277 (April 2026). Each Rare armor set adds a 2-piece and a 4-piece set bonus that reshapes combat loadouts. Players can mix two pieces from each of two different sets to chain two 2-piece bonuses, or commit all five to access the 4-piece effect. For the non-armor equipment slots (necklace, rings, waist, backpack), see Equipment.

33 Armor Slots

55 All armor occupies one of five slots. Piece names change by set (for example, the torso piece is a Cuirass in Conquistador's Armor but a Jacket in Tracker's Leathers), though the slot behavior is identical across sets.

2121 Defense Scaling and Upgrades

2222

2323 Every armor slot has its displayed Defense averaged across all equipped pieces for the purpose of damage-mitigation calculations. Upgrading only one piece while leaving the other four at Item Level 1 gives far less effective defense than the upgraded piece's displayed DEF alone. Upgrade all five pieces evenly for the best results.

2424

2525 Rare and Uncommon armor has three distinct crafting tiers (Item Level 1, 6, and 11), each requiring a different workshop attachment and material tier. Each tier can then be upgraded an additional 4 to 5 levels at the Upgrading Station. Rare items upgraded to Item Level 8 can ascend to Epic rarity using Tumbaga Ingots, the reward currency from Blackbeard Treasure Maps.

2727 How to Obtain Armor Sets

2828

2929 Most named sets unlock their torso and legs plans through faction Provisioners at Reputation Rank 2 for 200 Piastres each. The remaining slots (head, hands, feet) open at higher Reputation Ranks with the same Provisioner. Plans are then crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop using gathered materials (leather, fabric, ingots).
