How Armor and Clothing work in Avowed
Armor sets in Avowed are comprised of 3 pieces called the Armor and Clothing (Hands and Feet). Armor and Clothing occupy different slots and have vastly different impacts on combat. Some sets also have a Ring or Trinket associated with them.
Each piece of Unique gear, whether it be the Armor or Clothing, comes with 2 perks comes. Some armor pieces are part of a set by sharing the same name, and while the effect sets tend to synergize with each other and a specific build, there are no set bonuses.
You can find outfit pieces as loot from chests and corpses, purchase them from Merchants, or receive them as mission rewards. The sets as a whole are always located in the same region.
You can replace the visual appearance of any outfit item with another one. This feature is commonly known as transmog, though this game doesn’t allow you any specific modifications beyond the simple swap of one item’s appearance with another.
Armor
Armor is the primary piece of gear and the only one that’s upgradeable. It has defensive stats and weight class restrictions and cosmetically changes the appearance of the Envoy’s chest, arms, and legs.
Armor weight is classified as light, medium, or heavy, and this classification determines the Damage Reduction % along with the maximum Stamina and Essence penalties.
In reality, there are 8 different stat variations based on the weight and protection afforded by distinct types of real armor. There are a couple of mismatches, but terms in parentheses below are representative of the associated stats.
For example, Gambeson always refers to Light Armor with 8% Damage Reduction and -15 Stamina /-20 Essence.
| Weight Classification | Damage Reduction | Stamina Penalty | Essence Penalty |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light (Robe) | 5% | -20 | -10 |
| Light (Gambeson) | 8% | -15 | -20 |
| Light (Cuirass) | 10% | -20 | -20 |
| Medium (Scale) | 15% | -25 | -35 |
| Medium (Breastplate) | 18% | -35 | -30 |
| Medium (Mail) | 20% | -35 | -35 |
| Heavy (Brigandine) | 25% | -45 | -45 |
| Heavy (Plate) | 30% | -50 | -50 |
As you can see, the lower the Damage Reduction %, the lower the maximum Stamina and Essence penalties.
These stats remain constant regardless of upgrade tier, but upgrading Armor is still important, but doing so only increases the additional flat damage reduction, not the percentage or penalties.
You’ll also take more damage and deal less against enemies depending on the difference in Quality tier, reaching +/-35% damage taken/dealt when there is a difference of 4 Quality tiers, ex. Fine (blue) +2 weapon vs Exceptional (purple) +3 armor.
Clothing
Clothing consists of handware and footwear. They have no defensive stats or weight class associated with them and take the form of things like gloves, bracers, and shoes to alter the cosmetic appearance of your hands and feet. Unlike Armor, Clothing is not upgradeable.
