Ascended armor

Ascended armor, commonly known as prestige armor, elite armor and 15k armor, is a classification for armor which requires larger amounts of gold and materials to craft than regular armor. While you do not need to be ascended to wear ascended armor, it generally cannot be acquired until ascension during regular campaign storyline.
