🛡️ Armor Guide

Complete guide to all 15 armor pieces in The Forge. Learn about armor stats, prices, and how to craft the best protection.

📋 Armor System Overview

Armor is the Forger's most important tool for defending and tanking against enemies in The Forge. You can forge armor by melting ores and choosing the armor option. There are currently 15 armor pieces split across three categories: Light Armor, Medium Armor, and Heavy Armor. Learn more about enemies and combat in our wiki.

🎯 Key Armor Mechanics

  • Health Bonus: Armor defines how hard you are to kill and how reliably you can hold aggro for your party
  • Chance (Rarity): Each armor type has its own rarity that affects drop rates and crafting difficulty
  • Base Price: Different armor types have different base prices, so some pieces are better for profit
  • Mixing Types: You can mix different armor types to trade survivability, rarity and profit depending on your goals

📊 Armor Stats Explained

💚 Health

Health is the percentage bonus added to your base HP. If a piece shows 5% Health, your total base health is boosted by 5% while worn.

💡 Different armor pieces may have varying health bonus ranges.

🎲 Chance

Chance is the rarity of a specific armor piece within its type. For example, a Light Chestplate with a 1/3 chance means roughly one in three Light Armor rolls will be that chestplate.

💰 Base Price

Base Price is how much gold you receive if you sell the armor. Different armor types have different base prices, so some pieces are better for profit than pure defense.
