Armor of Atheron
From stitched patchwork to pearl silver titanium, discover how armor changes across five material tiers and three weights.
Every armor piece has a material tier and an upgrade level. Choose light gear for a flexible look, medium gear for a leather and metal mix, or heavy gear for full plate. The concept images below show matching pieces together so you can compare styles.
How armor works
Equip a torso piece, headgear (helm or hat), gloves, and boots. Each slot has its own weight, tier, and upgrade level, so you can mix pieces. These matching outfits illustrate one look; upgrading one item does not upgrade the other three.
Each material tier has six visible finishes. Upgrades make the chosen piece cleaner, brighter, and more embellished. A higher material tier changes the underlying leather or metal and the overall design.
- Basic Base
- Improved +1
- Reinforced +2
- Refined +3
- Superior +4
- Exemplar +5
These are visual concepts. Final appearances and gameplay values may change.
