Vigilante Armor is the perfect set to protect you from Drones! Today we will take a look at this cool set and the protection it provides. We will also see if we can discover some secrets that may help us later on! Be sure and check out Part 2 later today to pair this set with the perfect plates. Together they’ll make you a Drone hunting BEAST!

Vigilante Armor Stats

The Vigilante Armor set is a standard 7 piece set. This set consists of Helmet, Harness, Arm Guards, Gloves, Thigh Guards, Shin Guards and Foot guards. You can take a look at each piece below. Notice that the set we are looking at is the Unlimited version which can be repaired. This set is also available in a Limited version but there’s a VERY important reason we went with Unlimited we will get to shortly.

The Vigilante Armor set provides the following protections:

• Stab 14 HP
• Cut 14 HP
• Impact 7 HP
• Penetration 14 HP
• Burn 14 HP

This means that the total protection provided is 63 HP. In addition this set has a Full TT value of 211.80 PED and a Durability of 2550. You can see this information clearly on each of the sets Show Detailed Information item page as shown below.

Why The Popularity

This particular armor set is in high demand for two very good reasons. The first is that it is virtually perfect for hunting Drones. Second is that this armor set can be upgraded. There are missions you can do that will allow you to create an Adjusted set. The Adjusted set can in turn be turned into a Modified set.

These upgrades have some very helpful defense buffs which increase your Dodge. As dodge is usually the lower of a players two primary defense professions this is extremely valuable. These upgrades also help to decrease critical damage that you take while wearing the set. Anytime a set has the ability to be upgraded it’s going to be more popular than usual. When that set is almost perfect for a certain mob it’s also likely to be in high demand.

Vigilante Armor Vs Drones

Vigilante Armor + 6a Plates is the ideal armor set up for hunting Drones. If you are hunting mobs that do ranged Burn and Penetration damage then Vigilante equipped with 6a Plates is ideal in the vast majority of circumstances. This is why it’s highly recommended by most higher level players and one of the reasons the set is so sought after.

Using the upgrade missions to obtain an additional dodge buff also helps in this situation. Not all items in Entropia Universe were designed with a specific purpose in mind. In this case I really do think this set and the plates that you will want to use with it were specifically designed to help mid to high level players hunt some of the higher end drones and other types or robots you will encounter.

Rarity

This set is only available by looting individual pieces. Due to this there can be a shortage in the market because the mobs that you would need to hunt to loot this armor are not the more popular mobs people like to hunt. In addition there has been a lack of recent drop reports. This leads us to conclude that it has likely been a while since this set has been looted. It could be that there have been drops that were not reported. This is probably the more likely case but the drops that have happened have likely been relatively few.

In addition since the set is popular people try and form complete sets. This can be frustrating. Especially when it comes to the foot guards. When completing a set the foot guards can be especially hard to find and will often trade at a slight premium.

Armor is imperative to your survival in Entropia Universe. There have been a lot of changes and there is a lot of research ongoing. Today we are just going to look at the basics of using. Once we have a solid foundation to build we can look at specific sets. We will also look at things such as research, plates, decay and more in future articles. For now let’s get started learning the basics!

What Is Armor?

Armor is anything that protects you from attacking mobs or players when in PvP areas. Most of the time you will have a set of armor. It will look like something you would expect to protect you. This is different from other clothes. Clothes are fashionable and can help you express yourself but provide no protection.

What Types Of Armor Are There?

As with most things in Entropia Armor comes in two flavors: Limited and Unlimited. Limited eventually wears out and has to be thrown away. Unlimited can be repaired and used over and over again. In this sense it’s similar to other L or UL items in game.

There is however one very large difference. UL armor will slowly provide less protection as it decays. Once repaired it goes back to it’s full protective capabilities and the process starts over. With Limited armor the protection is the same from the time you get it until the time you have to throw it away. The TT value decays until it can no longer be used but the protective capacity never lessens. This can be very important when deciding which is right for your situation.

In addition to the standard protective suite you’re picturing there are also Armor Plates which can equipped to add more protection. This is again beyond the scope of this article but keep in mind that they do exist and can be helpful when you need even more protection. We will talk about plates more in the coming week. For now let’s look at what makes a complete armor suite.

The Pieces Of A Set

While there are exceptions most armor sets contain 7 pieces. This means that your typical set will contain a helmet, harness, arm guards, gloves, thigh guards, shin guards and foot guards. This is very self explanatory as each piece protects a different part of your body.

You do not have to have a complete matching set. You can take the foot guards from one set, the harness from another. It would look a little weird and would be an expensive way to protect yourself but it could be done.

Armor comes in Male and Female versions. If you have a Male avatar you must use Male. Females must use female. A long time ago male armor was more expensive so many players started over with female avatars. This cost gap has started to close in recent years so you don’t have to worry about starting over with a new avatar.

Armor Can Be A Horrible Waste Of PED

I see people waste more PED on armor than I can count. Sometimes all I can do is shake my head. If you’re out hunting then you may need the added protection. But this isn’t always how it’s used. Especially by newer players.

If you are Sweating you definitely do not want to be wearing armor. The same is true if you are Farming Defense Skills At Zychion Citadel. You only want to wear armor when you actively need the protection it provides. That does not mean you need it the first few week you hunt Punys. Every time you take damage from a mob or a player in PvP your armor will decay. This means that each hit is costing you money. Even if it’s a small amount every PEC counts.

All Is Not Equal

Each set protects from different types of attacks. Each part of a set will have the same attack protections but those protections will vary from set to set. In future articles we will look at various sets and see which protections they offer. We will also look at which armor is ideal to use against a particular mob.

This is why armor plates are important. You may have armor that protects against Impact attacks only. If you’re hunting a mob that does both Impact and Cut attacks you may need to add Cut plates. We will go into more depth on this issue as we look at the various sets that are available.

We will also explain how new players can get a FREE set or armor early on that provides decent protection. For now you should have a basic understanding of what Armor is in Entropia Universe that we can build on later.
