Armaduras

Armor is the main source of the defense stat to reduce damage. They are also capable of having additional innate bonuses to skills. Their are 3 main categories of armor: Light, Medium, Heavy. Medium and heavy both have speed penalties associated to compensate for the increased defense.

Light Armors
Light armor has some of the lowest defense stat. It also comes with a sizeable variety of different looking clothes to wear and customize your character. The vast majority of light armor is gotten from Knitting. Quite a few of the following also have additional bonuses to skills. There is no movement penalty for using light armor.

Medium Armors
Medium armor has a wide range of armor stats from low to high. Unlike it's light armor counterpart it comes with a reduction to speed to counterbalance the increased armor.

Heavy Armors
Heavy armor boasts the highest armor and protection from damage. The price for the high defense is the massive speed decrease and currently only 2 choices of look.

Shields
Shields are an auxiliary equipment that can be worn at the same time as the other armor, but only when wielding a one handed weapon. Using a shield increases the cooldown on weapon speed by 400.
