Enshrouded - Armor

Armour in Enshrouded comes in five slots: head, chest, hands, legs and feet, and most pieces belong to a set.

Classes

Combat armour is made for one of three classes. Melee sets carry the most physical armour and boost health and strength, ranged sets dexterity and critical hits, and magic sets intelligence, mana and magical armour. Each piece also has its own effects, from more time in the Shroud to extra health.

Crafting and Loot

The Blacksmith crafts melee sets, the Hunter ranged sets and the Alchemist magic sets. Each recipe unlocks when the Flame reaches the level of its tier. Crafted armour is rare quality; looted armour ranges from common to legendary. Some sets are only found in gold chests; the Elder, Radiant Paladin and Eagle Eye sets drop from the Albaneve Summits onwards.

Upgrades

Every piece of armour can be upgraded with Runes at the craftsperson of its class: the Blacksmith for melee, the Hunter for ranged and the Alchemist for magic. Each upgrade adds an item level and unlocks one enhancement, such as resistance to a damage type, more health or an extra skill level. Rarity sets how many upgrades a piece can take, and legendary pieces need Legendary Runes for the last steps. Armour can mitigate at most 80% of incoming damage, and the Heavy Plates skill raises that limit. Outgrown pieces can be salvaged back into Runes.

Cosmetics

Vanity slots change the look without touching any stats, and the Coloring Station dyes outfits. Cosmetic sets come from events, quests, townsfolk and Twitch Drops.
