Celtic Heroes

I thought i would give a rundown on many of the armors you will see now. I by no means cover everything, but the popular ones you are likely to see or consider as you hit lvl 80+. I am only giving a very rough overview - no real stats and such. Also, many aspects are still changing and being finalized. I will post a more detailed guide after the update is released.

Finally, since I am a ranger, i only looked at ranger armor. However, other class armor should be comparable.

I have listed the armors in order of 'power' - for some of the armors, there may be some quibbling about the order - but it is close enough. I based it on pure armor/resist - not on other factors (like bonuses and such). For some people, the resist may not be as important as other factors.

Finally, the armor types have a (q) or (v) to indicate quest armor vs. vendor armor that you can buy. I think it is really cool that you can get decent armor via quest - you don't have to buy/collect tabs/rems/crests (or camp for them) or spend tons for vendor armor and still get decent armor.

Warden (q): (plus attack, resist shadow, full set bonus)
Flint (v): (dex and foc bonus)
Topaz (v): (dex and foc bonus)
Onyx (q): (health bonus)
Opal (v): (dex and foc bonus)
Meteoric (q): (plus attack, resist shadow, full set bonus)
Obsidian (q): (health bonus)
Adamant (v): (dex and foc bonus)
Frozen (q): (attack, evasion, energy and full set bonus)
Low Bone (q) (health and energy bonus)
Low Bone (v) (dex and foc bonus)
High Bone (q) (health and energy bonus)
High Bone (v) (dex and foc bonus)
Dragonlod (q) (set bonus, health, energy, skill bonus)

The set bonuses are nice, but you may have to be cautious about if/when you upgrade your set bonus armor so that you don't lose the bonus. Likewise, you will have to reconsider things like haste gloves and Earthstone gear that will break the set and eliminate the bonus.

So many choices to make... Should be great fun seeing all the variety and how people make their decisions!

The new quest armours also have other class specific stats and are very much worth the time to get them!

Im so glad you guys actually did the full set bonuses!

quartz and diamond are gone?

Logic, quartz and diamond probably don't have set bonuses

yes, quartz and diamond are gone. but now you have flint, topaz, opal, and adamant - which are similar. each available at a different level. Adamant is better than diamond for certain.

None of these have set bonuses. Only the mainline quest armor (warden, meteoric, frozen, dragonlord) have those.

So if you currently have diamond keep it because it will soon become rare and unable to buy ever again.

And valueable

Onyx and adamant. Lol like runescape. Why no rune armor?? Lol jk

Are dusk, dark, and spirit shadow armor gone?
