You need strong armor to face the daunting and dangerous world of Embervale in Enshrouded. There are lots of armor sets you’ll come across while exploring, which makes knowing which ones are best rather tricky.
If you want to be prepared for any challenge you come across, you need the strongest gear you can get to help you through it. Here are the best armor sets in Enshrouded, ranked.
Enshrouded best armor sets, ranked
Here are the five best armor sets you can use in Enshrouded ranked from worst to best. There are so many other sets you can find and craft, but these are the overall strongest choices.
5) Archmage
The Archmage set is a great choice for any type of magic-based build, whether it be a Wizard or Battlemage—and you can also craft this set yourself. This means you don’t have to wander the world looking for it and instead can just craft it whenever you unlock the recipe.
The Alchemist grants you the means to craft this set, so you first need to unlock them and work through a few of their quests like The Alchemist’s Mortar before you can actually make it. You also need a couple of important resources including Padding and Lapislazuli to craft it, but it’s still a lot easier to get than most other sets and is quite effective.

| Archmage Hat | Magical Resistance – 39 Physical Resistance – 26 | +13 percent critical strike damage +15 percent magical critical strike damage |
| Archmage Chest | Magical Resistance – 104 Physical Resistance – 52 | +96 mana +120 health |
| Archmage Gloves | Magical Resistance – 26 Physical Resistance – 13 | +12 percent staff damage +Nine percent damage against magical enemies |
| Archmage Trousers | Magical Resistance – 65 Physical Resistance – 26 | +39 mana +Two mana regeneration |

4) Guard of the North
The Guard of the North armor set is a pretty strong choice, and it’s also one of the easier sets to get. All of the pieces of this set can be found at fixed locations, so you can add this one to your collection with ease once you can travel to the Pike’s Port area.
This is a really well-balanced set if you’re torn on whether you want to lean more into Magical Resistance or Physical Resistance. The entire set is perfectly balanced between the two, so you have equal parts resistance to both with each item you equip.

| Guard of the North Helmet | Magical Resistance – 18 Physical Resistance – 18 | -45 maximum time in the Shroud +13 percent critical strike chance |
