How to Choose Specialty and Endgame Armor Sets

Once you have a large supply of steel and have crafted prerequisite pieces like the Half Armor set, you can forge heavy plate sets that grant movement perks, knockback immunity, or maxed-out defense.

Mobility and Knockback-Resistant Sets

Depending on how you fight, certain sets give passive bonuses beyond raw armor points:

• Speed Boost: Equip the Winged Hussar Armor (7 armor points) to gain a continuous movement speed boost while wearing the set.
• Immovable Tank Sets (19 Armor Points): Three distinct sets max out your knockback resistance, making you completely immovable by most mobs. Choose whichever aesthetic you prefer:
• Knights Armor Set: Armet Helm (features a dyeable plume) and Knight armor.
• Gothic Armor Set: Sallet Helm and Gothic armor.
• Kasten-Brust Armor Set: Grand Bascinet and Kasten-Brust armor.

Maximum Protection Sets

If your goal is to hit the highest possible defense value in the addon, aim for the 22-armor-point sets (reaching past vanilla Minecraft's standard 20-point armor bar limit):

• Maximillian Armor Set: Consists of the Maximillian Helm and Maximillian armor, providing 22 armor points for general endgame combat.
• Jousting Armor Set: Also grants 22 armor points for maximum damage reduction.
