What Are Armor?
Equipment Worn by Riders
Armor are equipment worn by Riders that increase defense and elemental resistances, helping reduce damage from monster attacks. Each piece contributes to your total stats and improves survivability in battle.
How to Get Armor
You Can Forge Armor at the Smithy
Riders primarily obtain armor by forging it at the Smithy. By progressing through the story and defeating monsters, you will gather various crafting materials used to create and improve equipment.
Visit the smithy in towns or settlements to access the Armor Forge menu. New armor pieces become available as you collect materials from different monsters, allowing you to craft stronger gear with better defense and resistances.
Can Be Customized with Decorations
Armor pieces feature decoration slots that allow Riders to equip Decorations. These grant additional skills or combat effects, letting players customize their equipment to better handle different monsters and encounters.
How to Upgrade Armors
Upgrade Armors at the Smithy and Merchants
Armors can be upgraded at the Smithy or Merchants using monster materials. Upgrading improves an armor’s defense and skills, helping Riders survive stronger monsters later in the game.
To upgrade armor, speak to the Smithy or Merchant in towns or settlements and select the Forge/Upgrade Armor option. Choose the armor piece to enhance, then confirm the required materials to complete the upgrade.
Some armors require multiple upgrades to reach their maximum level, with higher upgrades needing rarer materials from tougher monsters. If materials are missing, continue hunting monsters in the region or advance through the story to unlock new material groups.
