In-game description
"This reliable metal armor allowed the Spaniards to conquer the New World thanks to its exceptional durability and toughness."
Defense
Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Conquistador's Cuirass has three crafting tiers that set its base Defense. Each tier can be upgraded several more levels at the Upgrading Station using the same recipe materials.
Item Level | Defense | Craft Tier |
|---|---|---|
1 | 100 DEF | Base tier |
6 | 160 DEF | Second tier (upgraded recipe) |
11 | 200 DEF | Third tier (top recipe) |
Crafting
Requires the craft plan Plans: Conquistador's Cuirass to be unlocked first. The Plans: Conquistador's Cuirass is sold by the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner at Reputation Rank 2 for 200 Piastres; the Provisioner is reached by building reputation with Smugglers of Port Royal.
Item Level | Station | Materials |
|---|---|---|
1 | ||
6 | ||
11 |
Each tier unlocks a new workshop attachment: the Shoemaker's Bench at ilvl 6 and the Material Rack at ilvl 11. Both attach to the Armor and Clothing Workshop and require its Bonfire coverage to function.
Set bonuses
Conquistador's Cuirass counts toward the Conquistador's Armor 5-piece set. Set bonuses apply globally once the stated number of pieces are equipped at the same time.
Pieces | Bonus |
|---|---|
2-piece | Increases Damage Resistance by 15%. |
4-piece | Grants the Bulwark effect: the first few hits you take do not interrupt your actions. |
Flavor text
"They strode across foreign lands with swords in their hands and a thirst for gold in their hearts."
Notes
The torso piece has the highest material cost in the set (typically 4 of the primary metal or leather for the first tier). Expect to grind that material before committing.
Counts as one piece toward the Conquistador's Armor 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses: pairing it with a second piece from the same set is usually the minimum to get value out of the plan.
