Armor sets are a set of six armor skins which are designed to match each other and whose names match. Most armor is part of an armor set, though some pieces are not, as such they are standalone*. It is important to note the difference between the armor name and the skin name. In many cases the armor name and the skin name are the same, however in cases where they differ, only the skin name matters for deciding whether or not they are part of a set. For example, karma is made up of armor sets, but the names vary greatly and usually refer to the area in which it is purchased, rather than its aesthetic properties. Armor sets can be broken into groups by their method of acquisition, however some sets can be acquired by more than one means, and in this case, it is classified by the method of acquisition that is most common.

Loot armor

Loot armor refers to armor found as loot, both dropped by fallen mobs and acquired through chests. Loot armor will be no lower than the players level, and no higher than the level of the monster that dropped it. It can be received in any rarity, from BBasic to FExotic. GAscended armor can even be found in chests, though this is extremely rare, and as such ascended armor is more properly classified as crafted armor. Loot armor has a tiered structure, usually with one set per tier for each weight. Most of these pieces can be acquired in a large number of ways, and details for this can be found on the armor pages itself.

Gem Store armor

Gem Store armor is purchased from the gem store. When purchased the player receives six skins, one for each slot, which can be applied to armor for free. The skins will also be unlocked in the wardrobe, but using the wardrobe to apply the skins costs transmutation charges. There is no level requirement, but putting skins on low level armor means that transmutation charges must be spent to move it to higher level armor as the player progresses in levels.
