C-grade Heavy Armor

Chain Mail Set  (Chain Mail Set) – P.Def – 242. Increases P.Def vs daggers +6%. If a shield is equipped, HP +198.

The set is almost unused in-game since it doesn’t give any real bonuses.

Compound Set (Compound Set) – P.Def – 278. Increases Weight Limit (W. Limit) +5795. If a shield is equipped, M.Def +5.26%.

A solid leveling set because you can carry more pots. A decent pick for a dwarf spoiler to haul more loot.

Full Plate Set (Full Plate Set) – P.Def – 297. Increases Max HP +270. If a shield is equipped, Shield Block Rate +5.26%.

Top C-grade heavy set, the best option for tanks up to 52.

C-grade Light Armor

Reinforced Mithril Set (Reinforced Mithril Set) – P.Def – 178. Increases Evasion +4.

A dagger set used more in PvP for the solid evasion boost; less often for leveling.

Plated Leather Set (Plated Leather Set) – P.Def – 185. STR+4, CON-1.

A leveling set for every class that can wear light armor, since it boosts P.Atk a lot. Top set for Dests and archers who want max DPS.

Theca Leather Set (Theca Leather Set)– P.Def – 209. Increases P.Def +5.26%.

Lets you stack max P.Def; barely used.

Drake Leather Set (Drake Leather Set) – P.Def – 218. Increases M.Def +5.26%.

Few real upsides, so it’s almost unused in-game.

C-grade Magic Armor

Karmian Set (Karmian Set) – P.Def – 129. Increases P.Def +5.26% and Casting Spd (M.Aspd) +15%.

The main mage set for leveling and PvP up to 52. Gives a mage everything needed: more P.Def and cast speed. On classic servers the gloves can be a pain to assemble since they’re craft-only, always in demand, and pricey.

Demon’s Set (Demon’s Set) – P.Def – 148. Decreases Max HP -270, INT+4, MEN-1.

A mage set if you want max M.Atk. You lose a lot of HP for the level, so it’s rarely used — sometimes by necros farming under Curse Death Link.

Divine Set (Divine Set) – P.Def – 159. Increases P.Def +5.26%, Max MP +171, INT-1, MEN+1.

The only real plus is a small mana bump; it also cuts M.Atk and gives only about 2% cast speed. Almost unused in-game, except for classes like EE or SE — i.e. rechargers.

B-grade Heavy Armor

Avadon Heavy Set (Avadon Heavy Set) – P.Def – 399. Increases Max HP +294.

The cheapest set: a bit of HP and nothing else. Don’t spend on it — better to stay in C-grade until 61 if you have no other option.

Zubei’s Set (Zubei’s Set) – P.Def – 399. Increases P.Def +5.26%, Max HP +294.

A bit better than the previous one, but still not worth the spend.

Blue Wolf Heavy Set (Blue Wolf Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 424. Speed +7, HP regen +5.24%, STR+3, CON-1, DEX-2.

The optimal set for leveling to 61. Boosts Speed, P.Atk, and HP regen. Cuts CON, which you barely need, and DEX, which isn’t really felt while leveling.

Doom Plate Set (Doom Plate Set) – P.Def – 424. Increases Max HP +320, STR-3, CON+3, Lung Capacity.

Best tank set at this level — lots of HP. Spoilers can wear it if someone else last-hits the mobs.

B-grade Light Armor

Zubei’s Leather Set (Zubei’s Leather Set) – P.Def – 334. Increases Evasion +4.

Fine for daggers in PvP.

Avadon Leather Set (Avadon Leather Set) – P.Def – 334. Increases M.Def +5.25%, Weight Limit +5795.

No real bonuses, so it’s unpopular.

Blue Wolf Leather Set (Blue Wolf Leather Set) – P.Def – 356. Increases P.Def +5.26%, Casting Spd +15%, INT-2, WIT+3, MEN-1.

Worn by various summoners and rechargers in both PvP and PvE. Archers and daggers also wear it in PvP, especially elves, because it speeds up their magic skills. On top of that, BW light gives solid debuff resist and doesn’t cut important stats the way Doom cuts CON.

Leather Armor of Doom (Leather Set of Doom) – P.Def – 356. Increases P.Atk +2.7%, MP regen +2.5%, STR-1, CON-2, DEX+3, Poison chance taken -20%, increased breath duration underwater.

The optimal leveling option for all light-armor classes. Besides Atk. Spd it gives Accuracy, Evasion, and Crit. Rate from +3 DEX. In PvP it performed well on Dests and Tyrs.

A-grade Magic Armor

Dark Crystal Robe Set (Dark Crystal Robe Set) 300. Increases P.Def +8%, Casting Spd +15%, Speed +7, cast interrupt chance -50, Paralysis resist +50%. MEN +2, WIT -2

Rare bonus of the set – P.Def +4.66%, Speed +4.07, cast interrupt chance -29, Paralysis resist +29.16%

Best mage set for both PvP and PvE. Gives cast, up to ~20% total, plus Speed so mages can kite. Solid P.Def bump. Before the attribute system it was considered the top mage set.

Tallum Set (Tallum Set) – P.Def – 300. Increases Casting Spd +15%, M.Def +8%, Poison/Bleed chance taken -80%, INT-2, MEN+2.

Rare bonus of the set – M.Def +7.99%, Poison/Bleed chance taken -79.99%.

Gives M.Def, so it’s okay vs mages in PvP. But it cuts M.Atk, has a bit less cast than DC robe, and no cast-interrupt resist. More downs than ups, so it’s rarely used.

Majestic Robe Set (Majestic Robe Set) – P.Def – 318. Increases Max MP +240, Casting Spd +15%, MP regen +8%, Stun resist +50%. WIT+1, INT-1.

Rare bonus of the set – Max MP +140, MP regen +4.66%, Stun resist +29.16%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

If you need stun resist, this set solves it. Used in PvP vs stunning classes: archers, tanks, daggers, etc. Also great for rechargers like SE and EE on party leveling or farm, anywhere they need max MP.

Robe of Nightmare Set (Robe of Nightmare Set) – P.Def – 318. Increases MP regen +4%, M.Atk +8%, Sleep/Hold resist +70%. INT+2, MEN-2.

Rare bonus of the set – MP regen +1.44%, M.Atk +1.44%, Sleep/Hold resist +40.82%

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Used in PvE when you need max damage, e.g. under CDL on RB farm. Used in PvP when you need max sleep/root resist, e.g. vs EE, bishop, etc.

A-grade Heavy Armor

Dark Crystal Heavy Set (Dark Crystal Set) – 439. Heal Power +4%, Paralysis chance taken -50%. With a shield – Shield Defense +18%. STR-2, CON+2

Budget tank option for PvP, but no real bonuses, so it’s rarely used.

Tallum Plate Set (Tallum Plate Set) – P.Def – 439. Increases Atk. Spd +8%, Weight Limit +5759, Poison/Bleed chance taken -80%. STR+2, CON-2.

Rare bonus of the set – Atk. Spd +2.91%, Weight Limit +3360, Poison and Bleed resist +28%.

Top set for leveling and farm at this grade for all heavy classes. Limit Dests use it not only for farm but in PvP too.

Majestic Plate Set (Majestic Plate Set) – P.Def – 464. Increases P.Atk +4%, Accuracy +3, Stun resist +50%. STR+2, CON-2.

Rare bonus of the set  – P.Atk +1.65%, Accuracy +1.25, Stun resist +29.16%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

Best PvP set; the main plus is stun resist. Also boosts physical damage and Accuracy, which never hurts.

Armor of Nightmare (Set of Nightmare) – P.Def – 464. Increases P.Atk +4%, Sleep/Root chance taken -70%. With a shield – reflects 5% of P.Atk damage. CON+2, DEX-2.

Rare bonus of the set – P.Atk +2.91%, Sleep and Hold resist +40.82%, magic damage resist +2%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

Tank PvP set; the main edge is 5% reflect vs physical hits, plus solid sleep/root resist.

A-grade Light Armor

Dark Crystal Leather Set (Dark Crystal Leather Set) – P.Def – 369. Increases P.Atk/Atk. Spd +4%, Paralysis resist +50%. STR+1, CON-1.

Budget leveling set for all light classes; boosts attack and Atk. Spd.

Tallum Leather Set (Tallum Leather Set) – P.Def – 369. Increases MP regen +8%, Max MP +222, Poison/Bleed chance taken -80%. WIT+2, MEN-2.

Rare bonus of the set – MP regen +2.91%, Max MP +130, Poison/Bleed chance taken +28%.

Gives MP and MP regen; fine for rechargers.

Leather Armor of Nightmare (Leather Set of Nightmare) – P.Def – 391. Increases M.Def +4%, Sleep and Hold resist +70%, converts 3% of regular attacks into own HP.

Rare bonus of the set – increases M.Def +1.44%, Sleep and Root resist +40.82%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Budget PvP option, especially vs classes that can sleep you hard thanks to the resist. Also relevant because you can socket a PvP insert.

Majestic Leather Set (Majestic Leather Set) – P.Def – 391. Increases P.Atk +8% when using Bows and Crossbows, Max MP +240, Weight Limit +5759, Stun resist +50%. DEX+1, CON-1.

Rare bonus of the set – increases bow/crossbow attack +2.91%, Max MP +140, Weight Limit+3360, Stun resist +29.16%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Top set at this grade. Worn by all archers in PvP and PvE, and by daggers in PvP. Main plus for daggers is stun resist, plus some MP for skills; Weight Limit lets you carry more CP pots. The only downside is you can’t socket attribute, otherwise you could wear it until 80.

S-grade Magic Armor

Major Arcana Robe Set (Major Arcana Robe Set) – P.Def – 359. Increases M.Atk +17%, Speed +7, cast interrupt chance -50%, Stun resist +50%, Weight Limit +5759. MEN+1, INT+1, WIT-2.

Rare bonus of the set – M.Atk +1.44%, Speed +4.07, spell interrupt chance -29%, Stun resist +29.1%, Weight Limit +3360.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Boosts M.Atk but gives no cast speed. For ST that’s not critical; SS even under full buffs will cast very slow. Usable on farm, better than DC because you can socket attribute. A real edge is stun resist, which mages can’t get from other gear, so it’s in demand in PvP vs stunning classes.

Dynasty Robe Set (Dynasty Set – Robe) – P.Def – 398. INT-1, WIT+1, Casting Spd +12%, Max MP +257, Dark Resistance +6. Allows wearing a cloak.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases M.Atk by 4.99%, Max MP +319, Dark Resistance +7.88

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty has many edges over Major: more P.Def, cast speed, five pieces for attribute, Dark resist, and a cloak. So it’s the main PvP and PvE set at this grade. The downside is different mage classes need different bodies.

Dynasty Wizard Set (Dynasty Set Wizard) – P.Def – 398. Classes: Archmage, Mystic Muse, Storm Screamer, Soultaker. INT+1, MEN+1, WIT-2, Casting Spd +15%, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, M.Atk +5.4%. Allows wearing a cloak.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – M.Atk +6.6%

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Summoner Set (Dynasty Set Summoner) – P.Def – 398. Classes: Warlock, Elemental Master, Spectral Master. INT-2, WIT+2, Casting Spd +15%, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, P.Atk/P.Def +2.6%.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – P.Atk/P.Def +3.4%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Healer Set (Dynasty Set Healer) – P.Def – 398. Classes: Cardinal, Eva’s Saint, Shillien Saint. INT-2, WIT+2, Casting Spd +15%, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, Heal Power +20, magic cancel chance -12.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Heal Power +22, magic cancel chance -15.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Enchanter Set (Dynasty Set Enchanter) – P.Def – 398. Classes: Hierophant, Dominator, Doomcryer. INT-2, WIT+2, Casting Spd +15%, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, magic skill MP consumption -5%, magic cancel damage -12.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Magic skill MP consumption -6%, magic cancel damage -15.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

S-grade Heavy Armor

Imperial Crusader Set (Imperial Crusader Set) – P.Def – 526. Increases P.Def +8%, Max HP +445, Sleep/Hold resist +70%. With a shield, Poison and Bleed resist +80%. DEX -2, STR +2.

Rare bonus of the set – increases P.Def +4.99%, Max HP +444, Sleep/Hold resist +42%. With a shield, magic damage resist +2%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

Before attributes and Dynasty this was the best tank set. In HF its value is still sleep resist, so it can show up in PvP vs sleep classes.

Dynasty Heavy Set (Dynasty Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 581. Increases P.Def +4.6%, Max HP +418, Dark Resistance +6. With a shield, increases Shield Block Rate. Allows wearing a cloak.

Rare bonus of the set – increases P.Def +4.99%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance+4.8. With a shield, magic damage resist +2%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

Dynasty heavy, like the robe, has several pluses: max attribute from 5 pieces, and a cloak. So it replaces IC in both PvP and PvE, except when you need max sleep resist. Devs gave each class its own bonuses; you can’t wear the set off-class — that’s the main Dynasty downside.

Dynasty Shield Master Set (Dynasty Set Shield Master) – P.Def – 581. Classes: Phoenix Knight, Hell Knight, Eva’s Templar, Shillien Templar. STR-2, CON+2, P.Def +6.6%, Max HP +492, Heal Power +3%, Dark Resistance +8, Stun resist +15. With a shield, increases Shield Block Rate. Allows wearing a cloak.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Heal Power +4%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Weapon Master Set (Dynasty Set Weapon Master) – P.Def – 581. Classes: Dreadnought, Titan, Fortune Seeker, Maestro. Increases P.Atk +5.4%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, Crit. Power +234, Crit. Rate +2.6%. CON-2, STR+2. Allows wearing a cloak.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – P.Atk +5.4%, Crit. Power +282, Crit. Rate +2.9%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Force Master Set (Dynasty Set Force Master) – P.Def – 581. Classes: Duelist, Grand Khavatari. Increases P.Atk +5.4%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, skill MP consumption -5%. CON-2, STR+1, DEX+1.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases P.Atk +6.6%, skill MP consumption -6%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Dynasty Bard Set (Dynasty Set Bard) – P.Def – 581. Classes: Sword Muse, Spectral Dancer. Increases P.Def +5.4%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, song/dance MP cost -5%.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases P.Atk +6.6%, song/dance MP cost -6%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

S-grade Light Armor

Draconic Leather Set (Draconic Leather Set) – P.Def – 442. Increases Atk. Spd/P.Atk +4%, Max MP +289, Weight Limit +5759. DEX +1, STR +1, CON -2.

Rare bonus of the set – increases Atk. Spd/P.Atk +1.44%, Max MP +259, Weight Limit +3360.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

After attributes it isn’t in much demand; can be used for leveling as a budget Atk. Spd/P.Atk option.

Dynasty Leather Set (Dynasty Leather Set) – P.Def – 490. Increases Accuracy +1.72, Evasion +1.72, Max HP +418, Dark Resistance +6. Allows wearing a cloak.

Rare bonus of the set – increases Evasion +1.88, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +4.8, Atk. Spd +1.67%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

All Dynasty light sets give more useful PvP bonuses than Draconic. Plus full attribute and a cloak.

Dynasty Dagger Master Set (Dynasty Leather Set Dagger Master) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Adventurer, Wind Rider, Ghost Hunter. Increases Evasion +4.3, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, Hold resist +13 and Atk. Spd +2.66%. CON-2, DEX+2

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases Evasion +5.3, Root resist +15, Atk. Spd +3.24%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Best dagger set with an evasion boost; the minus is it cuts CON, i.e. HP and stun resist.

Dynasty Bow Master Set (Dynasty Leather Set Bow Master) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Sagittarius, Moonlight Sentinel, Ghost Sentinel, Trickster. Increases Accuracy +4.3, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, Atk. Spd +2.66% and MP regen +5.5%. CON -2, DEX +2.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases Accuracy +5.3, Atk. Spd +3.24%, MP regen +6.6%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Best archer option when you need Accuracy, but it doesn’t give many other big pluses.

Dynasty Leather Force Master Set (Dynasty Leather Set Force Master) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Duelist, Grand Khavatari. Increases P.Atk +5.4%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, skill MP cost -5%. Allows wearing a cloak. STR+1, DEX+1, CON-2

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases P.Atk +6.6%, skill MP cost -6%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Basically the same stats as the heavy analog, but less P.Def, so it’s questionable for Duelist and fine for Tyr.

Dynasty Leather Weapon Master Set (Dynasty Leather Set Weapon Master) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Dreadnought, Titan, Fortune Seeker, Maestro, Doombringer, Soul Hound. Increases P.Atk +5.4%, Max HP +492. Dark Resistance +8, Crit. Power +234 and Crit. Rate +2.46%. Allows wearing a cloak. CON-2, STR+1, DEX+1.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases P.Atk +6.6%, Crit. Power +282 and Crit. Rate +2.95%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

A good set for all the classes above, both farm and PvP. Big Crit. Power boost at this grade. Compared to the heavy analog it gives +1 Accuracy but less P.Def. For SB it’s leveling-only; in PvP this set does little — level up and save for a higher grade.

Dynasty Leather Summoner Set (Dynasty Leather Set Summoner) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Warlock, Elemental Master, Spectral Master. Increases Atk. Spd +5.4%, Max HP +492, Dark Resistance +8, P.Atk/P.Def +2.66%. STR-2, CON+2.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – Increases Atk. Spd +6.6%, P.Atk/P.Def +3.24%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

If a summoner wants to level with auto-attacks, they now have a fitting set. In PvE it’s less useful than the mage version, since it gives no cast speed and pet control gets harder.

Dynasty Leather Enchanter Set (Dynasty Leather Set Enchanter) – P.Def – 490. Classes: Hierophant, Dominator, Doomcryer, Judicator. Increases Casting Spd +15%, Max MP +321, Dark Resistance +8, MP cost -5%, cast interrupt chance -12.

Bonus Essence Lvl.2 – MP cost -6%, cast interrupt chance -15.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

A party-leveling option for buffers: more P.Def, slightly less cast. Stats comparison screenshots:

The cast difference is tiny and not critical, while the char takes less physical damage. In 1v1 PvP you can try it for the same reason, especially with a PvP insert and Mirage.

S80-grade Magic Armor

Moirai Robe Set (Moirai Set – Robe) – P.Def – 417. Increases Casting Spd +15%, M.Atk +8.11%, Paralysis resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. MEN +2, WIT -2. Allows wearing a cloak.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases M.Atk +2.47%, Paralysis resist +20%. Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Moirai’s main plus vs Dynasty is that anyone can wear it. Solid cast and M.Atk. It’s also the only set with real Paralysis resist, which makes it the best PvP option vs SBs.

Enchant Apеlla Set Robe (Enchant Apеlla Set Robe) – P.Def – 510. Increases Casting Spd +16%, Paralysis resist +50%, Speed +7, cast interrupt resist +30%, Sleep resist +50%, HP regen +40. MEN (Wit) +4. Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases Casting Spd, Speed, and Max HP.

Lots of cast, so it’s ideal for all mages except overs, who are better in Inferno. The only real downside, like all la2world exclusive sets, is 4 pieces, which means less attribute.

Inferno Magic Armor (Inferno Magic Armor) – P.Def – 510. Increases M.Atk +20%, Speed +10, Sleep resist +70%, MP regen +30, Casting Spd +6%, cast interrupt resist +25%. INT (Int) +3 and MEN (Men) +4. Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases Casting Spd and M.Atk.

For mages who want max M.Atk; less cast than Apella. Great for overs: more damage means more HP restore, and +3 INT boosts debuff land chance. For SS it can work under full buffs. Stats comparison:

The gap in cast speed and M.Atk is big; Mag. Crit chance under full buffs is max 40% in both sets, without buffs Apella has more.

For Olympiad, all combat mages except overs and WCs are more comfortable in Apella. Inferno has very little cast, especially for SS where cast is the weak point; MM is a bit easier, but M.Atk still doesn’t make up for less crits.

Downside: neither set gives stun resist, which a mage often needs in PvP vs many classes, so you also want Vesper Rare, which gives max stun resist.

S80-grade Heavy Armor

Moirai Heavy Set (Moirai Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 613. Increases P.Atk +4.26%, Atk. Spd +4%, magic damage resist +2%, Stun resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +3. With a shield, increases Shield Block Rate. STR +2, CON -2.

Rare bonus of the set – increases +4.99%, Atk. Spd +4.01%, magic damage resist +2%, Stun resist +20%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +3. Rare shield gives +2% magic resist.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

The only heavy set with stun resist; Rare goes up to 70%. Wear it in PvP vs anyone who can stun you hard: tanks, bers, or Dests who can chain stun and end the fight there.

Rare Moirai also gives a solid P.Atk and Atk. Spd bump, so limit Dests can farm in it. Another tank option: this set with a cancel dagger under Haste to push Atk. Spd and cancel the enemy.

Enchant Apеlla Set Heavy (Enchant Apеlla Set Heavy) – P.Def – 800. Adds +300 M.Def, Sleep/Hold/Paralysis resist +70%, Poison resist +80%, P.Def +8%, HP regen +80. STR (Str) +6. Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – increases P.Def and M.Def, Max HP.

Heavy tank set vs mages, healers, and SBs. Boosts physical damage via STR, gives M.Def and strong resists vs all the CC enchanter classes throw.

Also usable when you need max damage, though the STR bonus won’t beat Moirai; the minus is attribute, since there are only 4 set pieces.

Great for gladiators. Gives everything they need to push skill damage and doesn’t cut anything.

Armor of Inferno (Armor of Inferno) – P.Def – 800. Increases Atk. Spd with spears, duals, one-handed swords and blunt +20%, Sleep/Root/Paralysis resist +70%, Speed +10; if a shield is equipped, HP +400. CON (Con) +6.

Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – increases Max HP and CP, Atk. Spd, and reduces crit damage taken.

One of the main edges is the HP and CP it gives, especially Rare, and +CON also means stun resist. That makes it the main tank set in mass fights.

Stats comparison of the two variants:

Atk. Spd increase worth noting:

• for spears – best option for spear users on farm and PvP, and for Hero pike to cancel wars 20% faster,
• for blunt – option for HK with ID / Shillien, or Dest under limits,
• for duals – more for BD (auto-attack damage) or glad farm, but since la2world is a PvP server, glads don’t farm with auto-attacks here.

S80-grade Light Armor

Moirai Leather Set (Moirai Leather Set) – P.Def – 513. Increases Speed +3%, P.Atk +4.26%, Atk. Spd +4%. Hold resist +50%, four-element resist +3. DEX +2, CON -2.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases P.Atk +4.99%. MP regen +4.07%, Hold resist +20%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +3.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Better than Dynasty for all classes except maybe daggers stacking evasion in PvP; Speed will be a bit lower.

Enchant Apеlla Set Light (Enchant Apеlla Set Light) – P.Def – 571. Increases Evasion +3, HP +300, Accuracy +10, physical damage +5%, Atk. Spd +5%, restores part of HP from regular hits on the enemy, M.Def +200, Sleep and Hold resist +60%, Poison resist +10, Weight Limit +6000. DEX (Dex) +4. Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases Atk. Spd and P.Atk, Max HP.

A good set for all light classes, including SB and bers, but mixed for archers and arbs. They mostly use it vs physicals in PvP for Accuracy and Evasion; vs mages those stats matter less, so Inferno is better there.

Inferno Leather Armor (Inferno Leather Armor) – P.Def – 571. Increases M.Def +124, P.Atk +100, Atk. Spd +7%, CP +200, HP +200, Sleep and Root resist +60%, Poison resist +40%, Fire resist +30%. STR (Str) +6. Server content la2world.ru.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases Atk. Spd, Max HP and CP.

For archers, arbs, and Tyrs vs mages. Lets you push max DPS to outdamage the mage. For arbs under Prana and Soul Barrier it’s not critical; for bows it matters more.

Stats comparison of both sets on an arb:

The P.Atk gap on arb is big; on a bow it’s even bigger.

For Dest adena farm, kariks, island coins, RBs, etc., this set isn’t great. Even under full buffs Dest won’t have 500 crit with a blunt, so few crits and vampiric sustain won’t be enough to stand. For that, take Elegia light.

Downside: neither set gives stun resist, which you often need in PvP vs many classes, so you also want Vorpal (Vesper) light.

S84-grade Magic Armor

Vesper Robe Set (Vesper Set – Robe) – P.Def – 440. Increases M.Atk +8.47%, Casting Spd +15%, MP regen +5%, Stun resist +50%, reduces cast interrupt chance on damage by 30. INT +1, WIT -2, MEN +1.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases M.Atk +1.63%, Stun resist +29%. Cast interrupt resist +18.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

One of the best mage/healer sets in the game. Gives everything needed for max damage and doesn’t cut anything important. The most valuable part is stun resist; Rare pushes it to 79%, and since mages dye CON, stunning them in this set is very hard.

Vesper Noble Robe Set (Vesper Noble Set – Robe) – P.Def – 440. Increases M.Atk +8.47%, Casting Spd +15%, Speed +7, MP regen +5%, Stun resist +50%, reduces cast interrupt chance on damage by 30. INT +1, WIT -2, MEN +1. Allows wearing a cloak.

The difference between regular and Noble Vesper is 7 Speed, and mobility sometimes decides everything. To convert the set you need 2410 Noble Vesper stones.

Vorpal Robe Set (Vorpal Set – Robe) – P.Def – 463. Increases M.Atk +8.7%, Casting Spd +15%, Speed +7. MP regen +5%, Max MP +92, Stun resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. MEN +2, WIT -1, INT -1. Allows wearing a cloak.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Slightly better stats than Noble Vesper, but much harder to get on most servers. The set isn’t crafted, so there’s no Rare version.

Elegia Robe Set (Elegia Set – Robe) – P.Def – 479. Increases M.Atk +10%, Casting Spd +15%, Speed +7, Max MP +97, skill MP consumption -3%, MP regen +5%, Stun resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. MEN +2, WIT -2, INT +1.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

The most expensive mage set in the game because it’s hard to assemble. Slightly more P.Def than the previous options. Many mages still prefer Vesper Rare for more stun resist and a bit more M.Atk. The set isn’t crafted, so there’s no Rare version.

S84-grade Heavy Armor

Vesper Heavy Set (Vesper Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 643. Increases P.Atk and P.Def +5.57%, Max HP +531, Sleep/Hold resist +70%. STR +2, DEX -2. With a shield – increases Shield Defense.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases P.Atk and P.Def +1.99%, Max HP +232, Sleep/Hold resist +42.5%. With a shield, magic damage resist +2%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%. When taking damage, 15% chance to apply a debuff lowering Speed, Casting Spd, and P.Atk by 20%.

Budget set for all heavy classes. Rare is useful in PvP vs healers because you can push Sleep/Hold resist to 112.5%.

Vesper Noble Heavy Set (Vesper Noble Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 643. Increases P.Atk and P.Def +5.57%, Max HP +440. Accuracy +4, Speed +5. Sleep/Hold resist +70%. STR +2, DEX -2. With a shield – increases Shield Defense. Allows wearing a cloak.

Noble heavy Vesper gives +4 Accuracy and 5 Speed, useful vs all classes: you land more, bows and mages have a harder time kiting, etc. To convert the set you need 2880 Noble Vesper stones.

Vorpal Heavy Set (Vorpal Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 676. Increases P.Def +8.47%, Max HP +541, Speed +7, P.Atk +5.57%, Accuracy +4, Hold/Sleep/Bleed resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. Magic damage resist +2%. STR -2, CON +2. Allows wearing a cloak.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

A good tank option: lots of P.Def and a bit more Speed than Vesper. More HP from the flat bonus and +2 CON, and CON also means stun resist. It doesn’t cut DEX, so tanks lose nothing important.

The set isn’t crafted, so there’s no Rare version.

Elegia Heavy Set (Elegia Set – Heavy) – P.Def – 700. Increases P.Atk +6.59%, Crit. Rate +128, magic damage resist +2%, Max HP +550, Hold/Sleep/Bleed resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5, chance to restore part of HP from damage dealt to the enemy. STR +3, CON -2. Allows wearing a cloak.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to lower the enemy’s Crit. Power and Crit. Rate.

Top set for all heavy classes to push damage, especially tanks under icon/Shillien charge. The main plus is +128 Crit. Rate, which covers the lack of crits on blunt for paladins, HK, dwarves, and Dests (Dests farm more comfortably in the light analog with a bigger Crit. Rate boost, but vs other physicals in PvP this one is better for P.Def). Or to raise Crit. Rate with swords/spears without full buffs.

For tanks in mass fights it loses to Vorpal: no Speed, cuts CON (HP and stun resist), less P.Def. It’s also very hard to assemble.

S84-grade Light Armor

Vesper Leather Set (Vesper Leather Set) – P.Def – 541. Increases P.Atk +5.57%, Atk. Spd +5%, Max MP +347 and MP regen +5%. STR +1, CON -2, DEX +1.

Rare bonus of the set – Increases P.Atk and Atk. Spd +1.63%. Max MP +248 and MP regen +1.63%.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Budget light armor at this grade. Assemble at least the Noble version.

Vesper Noble Leather Set (Vesper Noble Leather Set) – P.Def – 541. Increases P.Atk +5.57%, Atk. Spd +5%, Evasion +3, Crit. Power +172. Max MP +347 and MP regen +5%. Paralysis resist +50%. STR +1, CON -2, DEX +1. Allows wearing a cloak.

A good dagger option: evasion boost and more skill damage from Crit. Power. For other light classes — archers or arbs — a solid Atk. Spd bump.

Paralysis resist is also worth noting vs SP in PvP or Olympiad. To convert the set you need 2410 Noble Vesper stones.

Vorpal Leather Set (Vorpal Leather Set) – P.Def – 541. Increases P.Def and P.Atk +5.57%, Atk. Spd +5%, Max MP +360, Speed +3%, Crit. Power +182. Stun resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. STR +1, DEX +2, CON -3. Allows wearing a cloak.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Top set for all light classes: Speed, Crit. Power, and most importantly +50% stun resist (the only light set with this resist, so everyone should have it). The set isn’t crafted; no Rare version.

Elegia Leather Set (Elegia Leather Set) – P.Def – 590. Increases P.Atk +6.59%, Crit. Rate +171, Atk. Spd +6%, Speed +3%, Paralysis resist +50%, Fire/Water/Wind/Earth resist +5. STR +1, DEX +2, CON -2. Allows wearing a cloak.

PvP bonus – reduces PvP damage taken by 5%; when taking damage, chance to cancel the attacker’s target.

Best light set for max physical damage — bows, Dests, dwarves, etc., anyone who deals damage with regular hits. Without full buffs it pushes Crit. Rate a lot, especially limit Dest with a blunt. Archers and arbs will also like the P.Atk and Atk. Spd. Daggers, SB, and bers get little from it and only use it for Paralysis resist, so they prefer Vorpal. The set isn’t crafted, so there’s no Rare version.
