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.
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.
Slot | Piece Name Examples | Display Notes |
|---|---|---|
Head | Helmet, Hat, Tricorne, Bandana, Mask, Headband | Heavy plate sets use Helmet; light sets use Hat, Tricorne, or Bandana; Epic uses Mask |
Torso | Cuirass, Doublet, Jacket | Heavy plate sets use Cuirass; light sets use Doublet or Jacket |
Hands | Gloves | Gloves across every set and tier |
Legs | Pants | Pants across every set and tier |
Feet | Boots | Boots across every set and tier |
Rarity | Base Defense (Item Level 1) | Items at This Tier |
|---|---|---|
Common | 90 DEF | Headband (head); Torn Doublet, Torn Pants, Torn Gloves, Torn Boots. Starter gear equipped at the prologue. |
Uncommon | 100 DEF | Survivor's Set (Bandana, Jacket, Gloves, Pants, Boots); the first full crafted tier |
Rare | 100 DEF base; scales to 160 DEF at Item Level 6 and 200 DEF at Item Level 11 | Six named sets: Conquistador's Armor, Flibustier's Attire, Marksman's Rig, Pikeman's Armor, Privateer's Regalia, Tracker's Leathers. All six carry a 2-piece and a 4-piece set bonus. |
Epic | 300 DEF (standard for Epic pieces) | Ancient Peoples' Mask (head slot, standalone). Rare pieces upgraded to Item Level 8 can ascend to Epic using Tumbaga Ingots from Blackbeard Treasure Maps. |
Legendary / Mythic | Documented in the rarity system | No items currently documented at these tiers in Early Access. |
Six Rare armor sets are currently documented in the game and on community databases. Set bonuses listed below are the current values as of game version 0.10.0.0.277 (April 2026). The Tracker's 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses were swapped during patch v0.10.0.0 on April 13, 2026, so older guides may show the inverted values.
Image | Set | Head | Torso | 2-Piece Bonus | 4-Piece Bonus | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conquistador's Helmet | Conquistador's Cuirass | Increases Damage Resistance by 15%. | Grants the Bulwark effect: the first few hits you take do not interrupt your actions. | ||
| Flibustier's Hat | Flibustier's Jacket | Attacks consume 20% less Stamina. | Increases one-handed weapon Damage by 15%. | ||
| Marksman's Tricorne | Marksman's Doublet | Sprinting, Jump, and Dash consume 30% less Stamina. | Increases Ranged Damage by 15%. | ||
| Pikeman's Helmet | Pikeman's Cuirass | Increases maximum Health by 160. | Increases two-handed weapon Damage by 15%. | ||
| Privateer's Tricorne | Privateer's Doublet | Increases Critical Hit Chance by 10%. | Increases Critical Damage by 10% for each nearby enemy, up to 30%. | ||
| Tracker's Hat | Tracker's Jacket | Increases effectiveness of all healing by 35%. | Increases Damage Resistance by 15%. |
Equipping 2 pieces of set A plus 2 pieces of set B gives you both 2-piece bonuses. This is the default loadout for hybrid builds that want movement efficiency, crit support, or a defensive stance layered over their main 4-piece set.
Mix | Effect | Fits |
|---|---|---|
Flibustier 2pc + Marksman 2pc | -20% attack stamina + -30% sprint/jump/dash stamina | Saber + pistol hit-and-run |
Conquistador 2pc + Privateer 2pc | +15% Damage Resistance + +10% Critical Hit Chance | Balanced solo offense/defense |
Tracker 2pc + Pikeman 2pc | +35% healing + 160 max HP | Sustain-tank solo |
Conquistador 2pc + Pikeman 2pc | +15% Damage Resistance + 160 max HP | Ultimate tank mix |
Flibustier 2pc + Privateer 2pc | -20% attack stamina + +10% Critical Hit Chance | Crit-focused one-handed build |
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.
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.
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).
Image | Set | Faction Provisioner | Plans at Rank 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans: Conquistador's Cuirass and Plans: Conquistador's Pants | ||
| Plans: Pikeman's Cuirass and Plans: Pikeman's Pants | ||
| Plans: Flibustier's Jacket and Plans: Flibustier's Pants | ||
| Plans: Tracker's Jacket and Plans: Tracker's Pants | ||
| Plans: Marksman's Doublet and Plans: Marksman's Pants | ||
| Plans: Privateer's Coat and Plans: Privateer's Pants |
