Equipment effectsEdit

Your Agility (AGI) rating can change your Armor Rating (AR) rating, as can certain types of equipment. Here is a list of the equipment and its affects on your AR.

Equipment typeEdit

Leather armor pieces -3 to your AR*
Chain armor pieces -6 to your AR
Plate armor pieces -9 to your AR
