Windrose has six armor sets that each offer unique benefits, ranging from defensive to offensive options. Players can pick sets based on their preferred playstyle, from ranged to one or two-handed melee. In addition, armor pieces can be upgraded to increase their overall defense level, using a variety of materials and crafting station upgrades. Finding a preferred set and upgrading it is a key component of combat in Windrose; without upgrades, enemies will be extremely challenging.
How to Find and Craft Armor Sets
Armor sets can be obtained from points of interest, as well as from the various Faction Vendors. Sets come with a powerful bonus for equipping the same-set pieces, and can provide a huge boost in defense or offense, depending on the chosen set. Generally, every set requires players to level their associated faction, as factions are the only way to obtain Chest and Leg armor. All other pieces are found randomly in chests at points of interest. After obtaining a piece of armor or a plan from a faction vendor, it can be crafted at the Armor and Clothing Workshop.
