In Elden Ring, Armor are protective items worn by the player's character which grant protections, resistances, and various bonus effects against damage and status effects, as well as influencing statistics such as carry load and poise. In Elden Ring, armor is divided into categories such as Helms, Chest Armor, Gauntlets, and Leg Armor. Players can adorn a full set of the same armor, or wear different pieces from different sets, with no additional buff if all pieces are from the same set. This means that the player can freely customise their armor to their needs without worrying about set bonuses.
Many Armor pieces have Special Effects. See Equipment with Special Effects for a list of items with unique properties that affect your stats or performance.
Armor is allowed in Player Trade online.
All Armor Sets in Elden Ring
Armor Sets are complete combinations of individual Armor in Elden Ring. Armor Sets provides players with protection and resistances against all types of damage such as Magic, Fire, Light or Holy. Wearing Armor also changes the character's appearance. Wearing all Set pieces won't grant any additional effects.
There are exactly 559 pieces of armor in Elden Ring's base game. Unobtainable items (some listed here) include: Tarnished Wrap, Twinned Greaves (Altered), Ragged Set, Brave's Set, Grass Hair Ornament, Deathbed Smalls, and Millicent's Set. If you happen to come upon a cheater online and they hack these items into your save, remove them from your inventory immediately.
New! All Armor Sets and individual pieces Poise values have been updated as of Patch 1.07. Please check Patch Notes for further information!

One thing I wish From Software expands on in future games are armor pieces that provide bonuses other than basic damage negation and resistances. They do this quite a bit with headwear: there a lot of helmets that boost damage and gives extra attributes. But most of the chest armour pieces, gloves and pants have nothing interesting in this regard.

If what I notice appears to be the case, heavier armor is practically pointless, in the more recent update? Everything seems to stagger. Which means
Bull-Goat and Veteran wearers are either going to make lighter builds are quietly retire the game.

Lol, so many blind zero taste people here. ER has the best fashion of all Souls games. The majority of DS1-3 sets look bad or cheap. And now you can detach affing cloaks. The only weak side are the ultra heavy sets like bull-goats.

These sets are so much worse then ds3 also why do none of these sets match with weapons

Easily some of the worst looking sets. DS3 and especially DS2 looked so much better. DLC needs to give us better options I speak for everyone btw

I love the enormous armor variety of elden ring, my only complaint is that tbere are very few (or even none) leg pieces with skirts on them, the only thing similar to those are all attached to chest pieces; other than that great armors!

I dont get all the hate for the armor sets, did we play the same games? A lot of the sets people like in the older games r just there for fanservice and since ER is a new universe we cant have those sets obviously... we got a more mediavel approach to knight factions which is just fantastic for history nerds, the weebs get to go all out with the ronnin set, wizards have the cutest and fanciest lookin BIG HAT of all time, pyro users get the dopest pimp set that is the blackflame monk set, paladins have a ton of golden armor variety and for all naked with only a goofy hat fellas we have the pot and albinauric helm. I feel like every sort of player should find at least 2 sets of armor of their taste and the people complaining about variety rlly should check out ds3 armor sets and see how few the original and unique armor sets there were ( literally 1/3 of the sets are callbacks) fanservice can be good, but we cant fromsoft to just put in everything from ds 3 into elden ring man ffs ppl always criticizing this game on such idiotic topics

I feel like developers treat us like total idiots with how many symbols these armor sets have to point out some thing. For example beast champion - lets put 12 beast icons on the chest and leggs and if this isn't enough lets make a helmet out of beasts because naming it "beast champion" isnt enough for anyone to notice that it has something to do with beasts.

Would've been nice if From brought over some sets from their older games. I understand that Elden Ring isn't technically a sequel to the Dark Souls games but the variety of good looking armor sets in ED is lacking.
I'd argue the overall armor set aesthetic quality is not nearly as good in ED as it is in the Dark Souls games and Bloodborne. It could be argued that is due to not having the benefit of recurring armor sets from previous games, but every DS game and Bloodborne added a lot of nice looking new sets, more than enough to compete with the amount of good sets in ED. Whomever was involved with the armor designs in ED just dropped the ball it seems.

recently played DS3 again after almost 400 hours of Elden Ring.
Have to say, all those dark and griddy looking armor sets in DS3 are way cooler than anything in Elden Ring....
- Anonymous
100% sure this's been said even before this game came out with way less apparent but still well justified rage but i'm so tired of armor pieces having insultingly low drop rates, like a lot of other **** that only ever worked for dark souls, the low drop rates were manageable since you had ways of massively boosting drop rates and it being effective with the first 2s simplicity and in demon souls/bloodborne it was infinitely easier since armor sets were either found whole in 1 area or the pieces could just be bought individually leaving for you to grind for items. in this game however, they took the time to make the grinds for either one abysmally long with 3% for basic crafting items being the "standard" drop rates and armor pieces somehow being lower, i know that the problem's minor for people who only ever bother getting guaranteed sets and this is probably never going to get updated for more frequent rates but i needed to vent
that being said there's an odd lack of regal-ish dresses and crowns in the game that deals the most with royalty since demon's souls

Personally, I'd love an update where you can change an armor's appearance to that of another.
Imagine finding a special needle you'd give to Boc the Seamster. For the cost of some runes, he can alter your clothes to look like another armor piece you already found. It'd change in appearance while still keeping the original damage negation, status effects, etc.
Maybe you like the look of a lightweight armor set best, but you want the higher defense of a heavier set. Perhaps you want the Snow Witch Hat's snow sorcery boost, but you prefer wearing Hoslow's Helm. Or how about Bull Goat Armor poise on the Deathbed Dress?

I do not like the fact that almost all armors have different metal texture, making it hard to mix them, and the fact almost all of them just overdo with details, beast champion and bull goat being the worst offenders. By god the bull goat torso is a anomaly

You have to try this out - it looks so cool
banished knight helm
baished knight armour (unaltered, can be farmed in castle sol)
veteran greaves
veteran gauntlets
this while dual wielding banished knights greatswords or a banished knights halberd/s just look so cool. also, dragon communion spells just sinc with the look

I love many sets, but many also feel overdesigned fo me - too many details and weird things added. Would love banished knight without horns and duck feet, would love Blackflame monk without a nose on a chest, or drake knight wtihout the stupid hor/tail thing on the head. That's also why pretty much none of them are really iconic - maybe carian knight set, but thats it. Compared to DS1 Elite Knight set, or Lautrec's set, or DS2 Faram set, or DS3 Lapp's.

And now for the most difficult question in Elden Ring: Altered Carian Knight's set, or no helmet Hoslow's set? Let the civil war begin.

With the renewed emphasis on status effects in this game, From missed a big opportunity to rebalance armor in a minor but meaningful way. The tradition is that chest armor is the best, then leggings, then helmets, and lastly gauntlets are the most inefficient. They could have kept that system, much as I hate it, but then rebalance status resistances based on the armor type. Helmets could have higher immunity because they cover your nose and mouth, and focus because they cover, well, the head. Gauntlets and leggings could have better robustness for covering your extremities, the parts of the body most susceptible to frostbite and lethal hemorrhage. Chest armor could then (continue to) offer the relative best vitality, covering the heart. Nah, instead it's all subject to the same gradient. The armor piece that offers the superlative best value for each resistance is a chest piece every time.

Unaltered banished knight chest armor is GORGEOUS, it fits with almost any helmet/greaves

I think many of them look over-designed, take the royal knight set: you got the erd-tree ring on top of the helm, the grieves with the extra metal poking from the knees, the shoulder pieces with 3 wing-esk parts, along with blue cloth coming out of both pieces. there's too much there, makes it too busy to appreciate one of the features. And as the commenter below said, many of the sets have slightly different tones, making it difficult to mix & match

best advice with fromsoft games for armour: Fashion over function
- Anonymous
My main issue with the armour in this game is how it all has subtly different colours. Each set has a near unique shade of metal, each set has a unique shade of leather, etc. It makes mixing a fresh look thorougly irritating.

Every armor set in the game has like 1 weird detail that just makes the outfit look dumb. I really wish there was just a normal suit of armor like in the Souls games we could wear.

Honestly the armours look good and have good defense, having way too much defense in this game would be dumb, imagine dealing 200 Damage with a +10 somber ash of war, also, in my opinion 50-60 vigor in ng+ builds is LOW, like very low, a ng+2 midgame boss is just gonna 1 shot you, also i think the knight sets are ok, imagine you have a gold-ish armour and the only color for a matching set is grey, that would be annoying.

Weakest fashion of all soulsborne games. Fromsoft do better in the DLC. Also hate how ER is cross-gen which means the game really doesn't look as good as it could if Fromsoft had made it only for next (current) gen.

Isnt there a way to sort these on the same order as how they appear in the inventory? It would be such an useful feature because there are so many armors that if you want to commect them all one by one, you need to search in your inventory to see if you have the pieces, and the inventory is not sorted by alphabet. Same with the weapons and everithing.

I miss the Prisoner set from DS2. Peak homeless fashion and half the pieces raised item discovery as well. Nothing in ER even comes close to being as ragged as that set (Goldmask's "rags"? bruh they're literally more gold than cloth). Instead we get the same generic soldier / knight set 5 times over, with the only real difference being the colour of the surcoat.

Here are some unique armors I think would add new playstyles to the game.
- Ranged Armor:
(Light Armor)
Increase your quiver size for bolts/arrows and now headshots will give you back arrows, the lower amount of arrows you have the higher amount you get back for each headshot. Normal shots will only have a small chance of getting some back (Including barrage, jump attacks and rolling attacks).
- Crafted Item regeneration armor:
(Medium Armor)
Crafted items except of healing items will be regenerated by using your own blood to produce another one. Example if you use fetid pots and you run out of fetid pots you can use this armor to continue using them, but you'll sacrifise health each time you throw a fetid pot if you don't have any left. Sitting at a grace will regenerate back all your crafted items you ever crafted as long as the armor is equipped. Removing armor will remove all crafted items regenerated that you did not actually have.
(Wrote about this another time on another thread)
- Explorer armor set:
(Light Armor)
Greater Discovery when equipped. Crafted items will randomly be found on dead bodies with priority of what you have in your in slots. The higher your discovery the greater the chance and more things you find on bodies. Consumables lasts longer as long as you have the armor equipped and not remove it, additonally throwing knives deals more damage.
I could write a couple more, but I'll try these three and see what the general people thinks. I think these would stop some amount of glitching and I think this would highly increase the usage of crafting items.

Tbh i don't get why people have problem with armor in this game. For me armors in er have everything that you need - you have some "basic" with traces of wear sets like Vagabond Knight Set, some prettier and more detailed sets like Hoslow's Set and some meme sets like Mushroom Set or Albinauric Set. Not to mention that they did step up from ds3 sets and this time they made these with some diverse colours, not everything gray and ugly like before. Also these sets fits very well in game's setting - for example we have Haligtree Knight Set that at first sight looks pretty and rich, but if you look closely you will see that in reality that set is kinda destroyed and has traces of using it for long time - something like that makes you aware that maybe that world is beautiful, but still it's shattered by war.

I'd kill for more diversity with armor sets that are sleevless, like breastplates, greaves that are pantless, exposing bare legs down to the armor and boots, and some additional super heavy sets.
Just more, really. Hopefully the upcoming DLC delivers on the goods. I'd really love to see more gladiator kit
The problem with Elden Ring sets is that none of them matches well except when you wear the full set. DS3 sets not only has much better looking sets, but everything matches well. I hope the dlc fixes this.
