Amber Breastplate

Defense 48 with six slots, and the loudest grade in the game. This is the only armor whose numbers have been read off the game itself: a frame from AshesWolf's collection run shows its stat card with Defense 48, Spirit Stone Slots 6 and "Enemy awareness: Extreme".

AshesWolf — How To Get All Armor (Every Armor Location)

When to use it

The third six-slot armor, and the one Ornate Robe makes redundant a region later: the Robe has more defense and Low awareness for one fewer slot. If you want maximum stones and do not care about being seen, this is the piece; otherwise it is a stopgap. Its defense is 48, not the 49 Fextralife publishes — a one-point transcription error, found by reading the card. That is a small number and a large finding: it is the only figure in this catalogue anyone has checked, and it was wrong, which is the whole argument for the `transcribed` tier the other sixty-eight records sit at.

Where it sits in the gear catalogue

  • Defense 48 makes it the fourth-toughest of the 14 armor sets catalogued, between Silver Cuirass at 51 and Mirror Guard at 45.
  • It carries six Spirit Stone slots. No catalogued set carries more, which is why a low defence figure here is not the whole cost.
  • Its awareness rating is Extreme, shared with Chain Mail, Insulating Mail and Scale Coat.
  • In the order the sets become available it is number 11 of 14.
  • Its location puts it in Giant Tree Zone, in the Drowned Region — the segment this site indexes as Chapter 7, seventh of the 13 marked segments after the prologue.

Builds using this

    Named and then argued against for this build: more defence, but the awareness grade means enemies see you constantly. His stated exception is fighting something with acid attacks.
