Here is a list of the many kinds of armor you’ll be wearing during your adventure. Those are body armor, helmets and shields. Most gear can be purchased in stores but a significant amount is found inside chests within dungeons. Those are usually one-of-a-kind and should not be sold off. As with weapons, try to upgrade your gear as soon as possible.
