Advanced Armors

Advanced Armors is a Tier 4 Warrior skill that unlocks access to the Copper and Bronze armor tiers in Everwind's crafting system. Prior to this unlock, players are restricted to Wood, Stone, and Scrap Steamer Metal armor regardless of available materials. Advanced Armors opens the full Copper and Bronze armor sets, including chest, helm, legs, and boots, each providing substantially improved defense and resistances.

Advanced Armors is a prerequisite for Master Armor at Tier 6, making it essential for players who intend to pursue endgame defensive gear. It synergizes with Defense Stance and Great Body to create an extremely tanky build that combines raw HP with high damage mitigation from quality armor. For Arcanist players who have also taken Advanced Armor (Arcanist) in their tree, the combination of both armor unlock skills provides maximum flexibility in mixed playstyle builds.

Players who have been using Scrap Steamer Metal armor will immediately notice the improvement in survivability when switching to Copper or Bronze sets after unlocking Advanced Armors. This skill is worth investing in as soon as it becomes available at the Tier 4 gate, especially for players heading into mid-game zones with higher enemy damage output. Pairing the new armor with Blood Thirsty and Focus ensures the Warrior remains both durable and self-sustaining in extended engagements.
