The Steel armor set is an all-around defense that can be obtained early in the game but remains useful in the mid-stages. It has good defense against both physical and special attacks. The Steel set is not as specialized as other higher tier armors, but due to its reasonable price and easy upgrading, it is popular among players in the early levels.

The Hide armor set is an armor set that focuses on speed and dexterity rather than providing a strong defense. This is a good early-game weapon for any class that uses ranged attacks or likes to dodge rather than block. Combined with enchantments that increase the rate of stamina regeneration or the damage done, this set can be quite useful in early and mid-game situations.

The Iron armor set is the simplest one, but it’s quite effective for novices and can be obtained or created at the beginning of the game. While it lacks the enchantment slots and resistances of higher-level armor sets, it has good endurance, which is helpful in the beginning.

This set is usually replaced by more suitable armor as players level up, but in the early stages, it is sufficient to offer the protection needed to defeat low-level monsters while mapping dungeons.
