I am sure this topic has gone around - I couldn't seem to locate any older posts.

 

How do you acquire purple/unique armor [ lvl 15? ]?

 

Is it a drop? 

 

Must you craft the lower tiers? 

 

I have been trying to figure it out on my own but I cant make any sense of it.

 

I have 3 sets currently, with honestly no clue how I ended up with them.

 

I don't really feel like going on a maniacal crafting spree.

 

I just don't see the logic in the system.

 

I seem unable to really find out any info about the armor sets from the crafting window.

 

 

Appreciate any insights. 

 

Thanks

If we order the armours from lowest armor rating to highest we will get.

 

1.Armour A (Starting Armor)

2.Armour B (The blue ones you craft or get as drops)/ Inquisition Armour

3.Armour A (Variant) (Variant refers to Oak/Thorn/Dragonbone/Dawn or whatever material the class' armour is named)

4.Armour B (Variant) / Inquisition Armour (Variant)  (These are the purple armours you want)

5.Drakescale (You get them from the Experienced Mage/Warrior/Rogue challenges)

 

In order to get 3 you need 1 first and to be able to craft 4 (To my knowledge these are no longer in the drop pool) you need to have 2 first.

So taking the archer for example in order to craft his purple armour you need to have Peerless Archers Tunic/ Inquisition Archer Armour first, and then you can craft Peerless Archer's Tunic (Oak) which is the purple armour. (Sorry if the names are wrong, don't really remember them that well)

 

Hope I helped.

Whole sets of armor may be crafted to unlock classes and to get higher tiers of each armor set. The way that it works is: if you don't have a class at all, the first time you craft their armor, you unlock that class. That then lets you craft variants of that outfit with higher armor values. It also unlocks a separate, higher tier of armor for that class, which has a different name. Once you craft that outfit, it unlocks variants of that higher tier, which have the highest of the crafted armor values. You can tell by the name: the variants have the same base names, just with added adjectives/nouns.

 

Let me use the Silent Sister as an example. Let's say you don't have her, you want to unlock the class. You would therefore go and craft the "Silent Sister's Cuirass." This unlocks the character, and you can play it. Now if you were to go back into the Armor Crafting menus, you'd see that you could craft four new armors for the Silent Sister: The "Silent Sister's Cuirass of Blood," the "Silent Sister's Cuirass of Bone," the "Silent Sister's Cuirass of Sinew," and the "Silent Sister's Proving Cuirass."

 

The various "Cuirass of [stuff]" armor are just color variants of your base outfit with higher armor values. Notice how the "Silent Sister's Proving Cuirass" has a different base name and costs slightly more materials to craft than the others. This is because it's considered a higher tier of armor. If you were to craft this and equip it, you would see that it actually changes the character's base model. Once you've crafted the "Proving Cuirass," it also unlocks the "Silent Sister's Proving Cuirass of [stuff]" armors to be crafted. Those cost even more crafting mats and are the same color variants, this time of the "Proving Cuirass" model. Most importantly, this last tier has the highest armor values that you can craft.

Snakebite, have you made all your armors yet?

Someone really needs to make a simple video on this.

Sorry, you will have to go on a maniacal megatron spending spree.

Or get 1 million exp with warrior/mage/rogue <--- not as bad as it sounds. You just have to craft the basic armour to unlock the class then throw on the endgame free armour.....

First post?

How sweet.

[kanetu]

Thanks! This makes sense and I kind of figured this is how it worked.

 

Sounds like I do indeed have to go on a little bit of a maniacal megatron crafting spree.

 

It would have been helpful if the crafting menu was a bit more logical [ or if I just figured this out earlier ].

 

I will look for the Base Names for the starting armors and see if I can fill in the blanks.

 

Appreciate the help all. Thank you

 

PS : Yes, first post. Maybe last as I understand we will get no more updates // support ....

I am still digging it and I am almost ready to drop into NM with a couple of chars.

Still only at 23/24/24. So I have a long way to go and plenty of fun to be had.

Assuming PUG's will be found.......

Here is a post from Luke explaining the armor system:

Sorry to barge in into someone else's post but since it's about armors.. I want to make sure that I understand what Sothalor wrote..

My example: dropped Isabela's longcoat from Dragon loot, which saved me the materials I was gonna use to make it manually.

So then instead I made her upgraded armor: Isabela's dueling leather, which changed the base model.

Doing this unlocked the 3 higher armor variants of the same outfit (Antivan, Marcher, Rivaini). But it didn't unlock a next one with a different name.

So following what Sothalor wrote, if I craft one of these 3 variants, that's the highest tier of armor I can have for her?

Then I don't understand, where are the purple ones? Or you can't craft those and they only have to drop if you are lucky?

And then again I got the Drakescale from the class challenge. Is that better or worse?

EDIT: Nevermind my noob question. I just noticed the 3 variants are purple by checking on the web apologies!

 

[ReadingRambo220]

Yah, the dueling leather variants are the highest you can craft! But the drake scale is slightly higher armor at the expense of a bit of defense. Either one is fine, so if you prefer the dueling leathers over drakescale wear those.

Drakescale isn't to hard to earn, you have to earn 1 mil xp in their respective class.

[almasy87]

Thanks figured it out now and started crafting some purple.

I really don't like the drakescale armors looks though, so I'll just use the proper models. :>

I went on a spree and it in fact did work. Thanks for the explanation!
