[[1.5k armor]] refers to a set of armor that ''usually'' costs 1.5 [[platinum]] per piece to craft. These sets can be crafted beginning in [[Droknar's Forge]], and have the best stats among their own type of armor. Note that even though [[15k armor]] sets exist, each 15k armor set is identical, stat-wise, to a 1.5k armor set; the only difference is in their appearance.

Historically, the phrase "[[1.5k armor]]" referred to a set of armor that cost 1.5 [[platinum]] per piece to craft. These sets were crafted beginning in [[Droknar's Forge]], and had the best stats among their own type of armor. However, this phrase is now obsolete as integrated bonuses in Prophecies and Factions armor have been replaced with the insignia system introduced in Nightfall. Such armor now costs 1k per piece to craft and the player must separately purchase insignias for each piece of armor. The phrase survives through habitual use despite being technically obsolete.
 
Monk tattoos and Necromancer scar patterns cost 800{{Gold}} instead of 1.5{{Plat}}, but are still often considered 1.5k armor.
 
 
Because 1.5k armor is first found in Droknar's Forge, this category of armor is typically referred to as "Droknar's armor".
 
 
In the [[Factions]] campaign, 1.5k armor are available starting in [[Kaineng City]].
