AION: The Tower of Eternity is still under development by NCsoft, and any information related to the game is subject to change with the release of more information.

The Armors of Aion.

Armor Groups

Currently, in the Korean Closed Beta, there are 4 types of Armor: Leather, Chain, Plate, and Robes.

Leather Armor

Leather is the light armor type. It has higher defense than Robes but still less than Chain armor. Leather armor has weak magical defense but compensates with good shield defense and increases to dodging attributes. Due to this, Leather armors are often favored by the School of Scouts.

Chain Armor

Chain is the medium type of armor. It has higher defense than Leather armor, but still less than Plate armor. Chain armor has weak magical defense, like leather armor, but also has lower shield defense than leather armor. Chain armors are often used by both the School of Scouts and the School of Priests because of its defensive capabilities.

Plate Armor

Plate is the heavy type armor. It has the highest defense of all armor types and has better magical defense than leather and chain armor. Unfortunately, plate armor tends to have a lower shield defense, and decreases dodging attributes in some armor. Plate armor is often used by the School of Warriors

Robe

Robes are the mage armor type. It has the lowest defense of all armor types, but has the highest magical and shield defense. Robes are often preferred by the School of Mages.

Weapons as Armor

Each weapon has a defensive attribute for counters and parries. In combination with Shields, they can provide decent defense.

Shields

Shields are not only a decent at stopping attacks from hitting you, but will also add to your armor rating.
