Upgrades

Notes

Armour reduces damage from physical, fire, frost and lightning. Poison and spirit are not reduced by it at all.
Below half the incoming damage, armour subtracts: health lost = damage - armour. At or above half, it divides: health lost = (damage x damage) / (4 x armour). The second case looks like diminishing returns and is not, because the number of hits you survive keeps rising at the same rate.
Your armour rating is the sum of the head, chest, leg and cape pieces you are wearing, so a missing helmet is a quarter of the total gone.
