ARMOR & CARRY WEIGHT
Heavier armor uses more of the listed equipment weight. Compare the number shown on each piece instead of relying on unofficial weight tiers.

ARMOR QUESTIONS
Slot, armor type, Toughness, weight, rarity and values come from listed data. Rings and amulets are excluded because Accessories own that search intent.
Sources are separated into Quest, Shop, Loot and World. If an upgrade result is still unclear, this guide does not estimate it.
Search by name, slot, armor type or effect, then open its detail page for mapped Quest, Shop, Loot or World sources.
No. Toughness is one listed value; weight, slot, armor type and modifiers can also matter to a build.
Only known upgrade results are shown. This guide does not estimate level-growth formulas that are still unclear.
Matching entries affect the same stat. That makes them useful to compare, but not an automatic best pairing.
