You will find unique armor, boots, and gloves inAvowedscattered across the Living Lands' four main regions, which include Dawnshore, Emerald Stair, Shatterscarp, and Galawain’s Tusks. Unique armor comes in three standard varieties: light, medium, and heavy. Your build, playstyle, abilities, and more will determine which type of armor suits you best. As a fan of pure Ranger builds, I almost always opt for a light armor set, and there are a ton to choose from as you progress through the Envoy’s journey. Gloves and boots inAvowedalso carry unique effects and can complement your choice of armor in various ways.
Unique armor is enchanted with two abilities, while gloves and boots (e.g., clothing) each have an item bonus and an ability.Unique armor and clothing are acquired all across the Living Lands during treasure map side quests, for defeating powerful foes, or as rewards for main quests, among other things. Armor can be upgraded in ways similar toweapons inAvowed, but it cannot be re-enchanted in the same way. Clothing, on the other hand, cannot be upgraded or enchanted.

Necropants Provides Excellent Poison Resistance
Once you enter Shatterscarp, there will be many new armor pieces to track down, including theNecropants,one of the highest poison-resistant items inAvowed.These pants also summon a “Spectral Slave” that comes to your side during battle and fights enemies automatically. For tankier builds, theThirdborn Brigandine Jacksignificantly increases carrying capacity by +25 and also regenerates health while you’re wet. Alternatively, theSkald’s Brigandinearmor is equally great for a tank build,increasing Stamina by 20% and regenerating healthwhile companions are downed - you can pick this up at the Pargrun Cache in Shatterscarp, among some other awesome gear.

Galawain’s Tusks
The final area inAvowedis Galawain’s Tusks, which includes some of the highest-quality armor you’ll find in the game. Two armor pieces can be purchased directly from Forgemaster Dela at Abydon’s Forge once you make it to Solace Keep:Faith and ConvictionandGauntlets of Devotion.TheHelwalker’s Vestmentsarmor is a personal favorite and can be found at the Shrine in Galawain.
While it decreases damage resistance substantially, the increased critical hit damage makes it ideal for a stealth build. The lava-forged plate is found at the Mt. Forja Summit and is a little tricky to locate, but it offers very high fire accumulation resistance as well as dealing fire damage buildup when hit by a melee attack.
