==Armor types by acquisition==
 
 
===Standard armor===
 
Armor sets available in the beginning areas of each [[campaign]] are Standard armor, available in [[armor (rating)|armor ratings]] ranging between 5 and 80 depending on player [[profession]] and [[armor crafter]]. The first armor available to new players for purchase is Standard armor.
 
 
====Max armor====
 
'''Max armor''' refers to armor with the maximum [[armor rating]] for a given primary [[profession]]: 80 for{{w}}{{p}}, 70 for {{r}}{{a}}{{d}}, and 60 for {{mo}}{{n}}{{me}}{{e}}{{rt}}.
 
*New [[roleplaying character]]s will not have access to ''Max Armor'' until they reach one of the game's major trading centers, where it costs 1{{plat}} a piece, plus common and rare [[Crafting material|materials]]. [[PvE]] players can also exchange for ''Max Armor'' at [[collector]]s in harder-to-reach areas, but these armor pieces cannot be upgraded with [[insignia]].
 
*[[PvP character]]s are automatically equipped with ''Max Armor''.
 
*'''Elite Armor''' is always maxed, while '''Standard Armor''' can range from the profession's minimum to maximum.
 
 
===Elite armor===
 
[[Elite armor]] always has the max armor rating and offers the same functionality as '''Standard''' ''Max Armor'', but provides a more stylish design at significantly greater costs (both [[Crafting Material|materials]] and [[gold]]). Elite armor is often called "[[15k armor]]" because of the 15 [[platinum]] price per piece on most Elite armor sets. Many, but not all, armor sets have corresponding Elite and Standard versions. Elite Armor is available to [[PvE]] characters through [[armor crafter]]s who are deep into the campaign plot, and to [[PvP]] characters as a [[PvP reward]].
 
 
Complete sets of elite armor can also be added to the [[Monument of Resilience]] in the [[Hall of Monuments]]. See those articles for more information.
 
 
{{Historical|Prior to the [[game updates/20070524|May 24th, 2007 update]], Elite armor was available only to [[PvE]] characters.}}
 
 
===Obsidian armor===
 
Each profession also has its single, unique [[Obsidian armor|Obsidian]] art style. Obsidian armor is profoundly expensive, requiring numerous [[Glob of Ectoplasm|Globs of Ectoplasm]] and [[Obsidian Shard]]s, in addition to other [[common crafting material|common]] and [[rare crafting material]]s. Obsidian armor is only available from the [[Eternal Forgemaster]] in the [[Fissure of Woe]], and requires a lengthy set of prerequisite [[quest]]s before the forge can be opened. All Obsidian armor possess the maximum armor rating available for each profession. Obsidian armor is often called "Obby armor" or "[[Obsidian armor|FoW armor]]" as it can only be crafted in the Fissure of Woe.
 
 
===Hero armor===
 
In addition to their default armor, all [[Nightfall]] [[hero]]es have an alternate set of armor obtained in one of the three Nightfall [[challenge mission]]s as well as an alternate set of armor obtained in the [[Domain of Anguish]]. Likewise, all [[Eye of the North]] heroes have two additional sets of armors: ''[[Brotherhood armor|Brotherhood]]'' and ''[[Deldrimor armor|Deldrimor]]'' Armor.
 
 
===PvP-Reward armor===
 
There are two categories of PvP-Reward armor. Basic armor includes numerous Standard and Elite armor types and costs 20 [[tournament reward point]]s per piece. Fancy armor is not available until a player has purchased 50 pieces of Basic armor on their [[account]]. The names, costs, and skins of Fancy PvP-Reward armor can be found [[PvP_reward#Fancy_armor|here]].
 
 
==Discontinued and renamed armor==
 
These armor sets can be found at some fansites but otherwise have been discontinued. They are listed here for historical purposes and to eliminate confusion when comparing this list to those on other sites. Most sets were either only around during the [[beta]] or are the original names of some current sets. These names may be reused in future campaign releases.
 
*''Adept's armor'' (Elementalist)
 
*''Hunter's armor'' (Ranger)
 
*''[[Mesmer Krytan armor|Regal armor]]'' (Mesmer - name recently reused for PvP-Reward armor)
 
*''[[Monk Silk armor|Silk armor]]'' (Monk - name recently reused for PvP-Reward armor)
 
*''Blasphemer's Armor'' (Necromancer)
 
*''[[Necromancer Krytan armor|Pagan armor]]'' (Necromancer - name recently reused for PvP-Reward armor)

*''Empyrean Armor'' (art renamed to Sunspear Armor; function removed)
 
*''Overseer's Armor'' (art renamed to Istani Armor; function replaced with Survivor Insignia)
 
*''Radiant Armor'' (art renamed to Elonian Armor; function removed; name reused for +[[energy]] Insignia)
