Hero armor

From Guild Wars Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to search

Each hero comes with a default armor model unique to the hero. Players may upgrade the hero armor with runes and/or insignias. Players can also update most hero armor to one of two other models; this has no effect on the the hero's armor rating or on the applied upgrades.

Armor rating[edit]

A hero's armor rating is dependent solely on their profession and level:

Profession Hero level
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
WarriorParagon 23 26 29 32 35 38 41 44 47 50 53 56 59 62 65 68 71 74 77 80
RangerAssassinDervish 13 16 19 22 25 28 31 34 37 40 43 46 49 52 55 58 61 64 67 70
MonkNecromancerMesmerElementalistRitualist 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45 48 51 54 57 60

Runes and insignias[edit]

Every hero's headpiece comes with an inherent <Item's Attribute + 1>. Similar to player character armor, each hero armor piece can be upgraded with a rune and insignia. These can be safely salvaged from the hero using an Expert Salvage Kit, since, unlike player character armor, hero armor cannot be removed or broken.

Armor appearance upgrades[edit]

Players can upgrade the armor of most heroes by trading in special items found in certain challenge missions in Nightfall and Eye of the North to an appropriate hero armorer. Once upgraded, the armor sets can be swapped at-will by returning to any of the relevant NPCs. Changing a hero's appearance has no effect on the armor rating or on any applied runes or insignias.

You must update the hero's armor before they can be added to the "Fellowship" monument in the Hall of Monuments, except for M.O.X. — the golem only has one armor set and can be added to the monument immediately after acquisition.

You cannot upgrade the appearance of any of the heroes unlocked through Guild Wars Beyond: Keiran Thackeray, Miku, and Zei Ri; these are also the only heroes that cannot be added to the monument. (Although Keiran has two alternate armor sets, they are not yet implemented due to lack of resources for updating the Hall of Monuments.[1])
