11Pikeman's Cuirass is the Rare chest piece of the Pikeman's Armor set in Windrose. It is crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop after unlocking the Plans: Pikeman's Cuirass recipe.22Overview55Rarity: RareSlot: TorsoSet: Pikeman's ArmorItem Level: Base ilvl 1; scales to ilvl 11 through tier upgrades77In-Game Description99"Infantry armor of the Spanish tercio. Favored by buccaneers of the archipelago for its ideal balance of protection and mobility, essential for hunting the local beasts."1111Defense1313Like all Rare and Uncommon armor, Pikeman'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.1515Item LevelDefenseCraft Tier1100 DEFBase tier6160 DEFSecond tier (upgraded recipe)11200 DEFThird tier (top recipe)1717Crafting1818Requires the craft plan Plans: Pikeman's Cuirass to be unlocked first.

Set bonuses apply globally once the stated number of pieces are equipped at the same time.2727PiecesBonus2-pieceIncreases maximum Health by 160.4-pieceIncreases two-handed weapon Damage by 15%.2929Flavor Text3030"All enemies should be taken seriously. Even if it's a dodo."3232Notes3434The 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 Pikeman'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.3636Set Pieces3838The Pikeman's Armor set has five slots. Equipping more pieces from the same set unlocks the 2-piece and 4-piece bonuses listed above, so most players craft and upgrade these slots together rather than mixing armor families.

Although it is forged from the same Copper Ingot, Foothills Iron Ingot, and Mire Metal Ingot line as the Conquistador's Armor set, its per-piece Defense follows the lighter 100, 160, 200 line and reaches 200 at item level 11, not 300. Pikeman trades some of that raw Defense for offensive and health bonuses, so the two metal sets fill different roles.4545The Pikeman's Armor 2-piece bonus raises maximum Health by 160, and the 4-piece bonus increases two-handed weapon Damage by 15%. That pairing makes the set the go-to choice for a Halberd or Greatsword build that wants both a larger health pool and higher damage on heavy swings.4747The cuirass plan is available early from the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner at Reputation Rank 2 for 200 Piastres. Since the torso slot has the highest material cost in the set, gather the relevant ingots in advance before crafting or upgrading at the Upgrading Station.4949See Also5151Pikeman's Armor: full set overview, build notes, and mixing tipsArmor and Equipment: Windrose armor system, slots, and rarity tiersArmor and Clothing Workshop: crafting station for every armor pieceSmugglers of Port Royal: faction that sells the set plansUpgrade System: how armor scales beyond its crafted item level5353Game Data5555Properties5757PropertyValueWeight2.05959Crafted By6060Crafted at: Armor and Clothing Workshop6262IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx4Coarse Fabricx26464Disassembles Into6565MaterialQuantityCopper Ingot×4Coarse Fabric×1Rough Hide×16767Taught By6868PlanPlans: Pikeman's Cuirass
