Dragon's Dogma 2 BEST ARMOR For Every CLASS & Their Locations 

All Armors in DD2: dragonsdogma2.wiki.fextralife.com/Armor

❌ stats ✅ style

In the Glymmercoal cave you can get Immaculate Blaze, probably the best thief armor in the game before endgame, also the best daggers before endgame can be found in the Coral Snakes hideout.

Fun fact: you can get Morpho Robes from doing the Sorcerer Maister quest. It's the one where you can give 3 forgeried books to the guy and finishing that quest will open up an escort quest to Vernmund capital. I don't remember if it was the spellbound quest specifically or the escort that gave it to me but i distinctively remember him giving it to me. Cheers!

Now I feel dumb for buying half the items he found lying around the world

Suggestion for these videos. Get the screen shots on a warfarer, so the armor appears on the character when you are looking at it in stores and the equipment page. Then person recording doesnt need to swap vocations for recording.

Fashion Dogma is the way to go

Normally I go amazing video , but this time I go thank goodness for your wiki guide and page , as well , you are a staple view on all games thank you

Not sure if anyone in the comments has mentioned this, but there is a quest you get in the castle court yard that takes you on a quest that unlocks one of the best armor and weapon vendor in the game. The vendor enhances the gear Dwarven style. Not gonna spoil who and the how, just go to the court yard and talk to the guards roaming about.

What i miss the most is the class based item sorting from dragons dogma 1. I hate looking through everything to see if my class can wear it.

armor with crazy stats = no fashion = YES

They definitely should’ve made a male version of the charming corset

Go Fashion. Style, not stats

Why wait til volcanic island when you can get all that gear in bakbattal with a 10 percent discount too? And why go to the old dwarf out of the way when you can just upgrade your gear with the same vendor you can get the best gear with the discount?

Awesome video. I would love to see an end game armor video. I haven't made it yet so it might be self-explanatory...

Great game so far, great vid too for equipment. Initially I was not liking the game restriction on fast travel. However after playing for a while I’m glad they limited it for discovering areas. And I like that the stones to warp are limited 👍

I've wasted so much gold! :( :( :(

I found skimpy armor for my mage from a wondering vendor on the central gondola mountain in the desert. Been running it for a while on my hairy dude. He has the confidence to pull it off. Stats are good too.

I'm rockin the Strider set that was from DD1 for my Archer.

When it comes to capes I have found that I prefer the abyssinal neck wrap because it offers resistances to the effects of annoying harpy attacks, which happen all the time. The comforting neck wrap is another good option, but I haven't yet run across an awful lot of enemies that can petrify. It doesn't seem to be as important as it was against the cockatrice.

Best armor is the Corset from collecting seeker's tokens. It boasts more physical and magical damage than most combinations of chest and legs, i say most because you could technically go a bit above it in terms of physical defense at the cost of magical defense

Been waiting for this one. Let’s go!

Tricky? I think you nailed it! Brilliant video mate! 🍻

for thief you don’t need that armor, you can play light (fashion) and use the skill that make you a tank that evades everything. I haven’t gotten hit with dragons for example.

Maybe when you showing the Armor you should actually have the right vocation equipped so we can see them? Just a suggestion….

the video we’ve all been waiting for

If you play Thief and Spearhand, armor stats becomes a trivial thing. This 2 class can be literally untouchable with their skill. (Formless Feint and Mirror Shield). I don't know about other vocations if they have this kind of broken skills. For Sorcerer just cast the Augural Flare and Meteoron and boom fight is done.

Is the charming corset better than endgame gear? Keep in mind that that corset is body+leg armor combined, you can’t wear any legs with it.

Maybe you could do a pawn builds vid? Noticing the ai likes to spam some skills and completely ignore others (probably varies by inclination)

None of these are the best armor, the best armors come from finding all of the chests and beating all of the strong dragons in the “Unmoored World” that’s under the sea and within the rivers. Trust me it’s stronger than the endgame gear. I found the Thief set and Warrior set so far, I found a op mage torso and a op archer torso, now looking for the pants. On pc I just manually save my unmoored save files and just keep going back to look for more.

For Sorceror Orphic Robe is literally right under the Ares Morpho Robe in Volcanic Island Camp. Its literally just better all round, with better knockdown resist, both defenses and a large amount of debilitation resistances to boot. This will literally get you all the way through the game until Unmoored. You're Sorc Pawn will love you for effectively equipping him/her with tank armour.

Can you explain why you picked this armor for warfarer? For example: isnt uncanny eyes better than the helmet you showed? I mean you fully focused on defense but magick defense is kinda low or am I missing something. Is the goal of warfarer to have the heaviest armor? I wennt for a build with evergreen pants, uncanny eyes and immaculate flame. I would like to know your reasons to pick those armor sets. Still cool video :)

It would have been interesting to see the end game armors from the dragon crystal vendor included in the video for each of the classes. This is great though as it covers the vast majority of the game.

I hate how a lot of the stronger armours are skirts / underwear. Like I just look goofy running around with the elegant petticoat overlapping my pants 💀

Thanks bro!

Thank ya was looking for a video like this lol

Definitely didn't expect to see low level gear being the majority of the "Best Gear in the Game" video. - Imo, start with Warfarer, then move to How much Str vs Magik u want. - And you'll easily know what gear is "the best". - Same with weapons

Sure some of them are upgrades but what happened to style over functionality? I'll take looking cool over looking like a belly dancer on my mystic spear.

Nightfall Greaves are amazing, you can use them on every class, so good when you are trying to gear every vocation

Fextra Life , here’s your extra life!

all the mixmaxers walking into endgame dressed like sailor moon

You left out Hood of Nonentity. Easy to get and works with lots of classes and is probably S teir untill volcano

Gold is so easy to come by there's no real point in worrying too much on what you're spending it on except during the early game. I've got over 700k gold and I bought all the best stuff I could when I found it.

Honestly: outside of Fighter and Warrior being pretty much locked to dwarven enhancements, it feels like you gotta choose between knockdown resistances or defenses for some stuff. The same goes for some of the weapons actually. Some weapons will just fit better in a full DPS party comp that doesn't worry about downing the monster, while other weapons are great for synergy of knockdown power at the expense of raw damage. I do kind of hope any potential DLCs make it so some of the armors that you stick with for fashion could be brought up a la Rarifying from Dark Arisen, but with a Monster Hunter Sunbreak endgame mechanic to pump the stats to be comparable. Or just give us a proper glamour armor system for those of us that would prefer looking cool; but hate having it effect stats so negatively lol

dapper chauses has 10 slash and strike resist. seems like that might offset the expected defense increase for upgrade a bit but idk. am currently running around as a warfarer with 26% total strike and slash resist. feels pretty tabky.

Will you be doing end game weps and armour list? I just got to dragon forge so feel like I’m past all of this 😂

You just want us all in elegant petticoat.

Play Warfare. First Fighter,Warrior and Mystic spearknight. But could not deceide. And Warfare was the best option for style and gameplay for me.

As some who has close to 500 levels in this game (488) you can really use whatever armor you like, the game isn't hard but it's not easy, it's sitting at fun. I use a chest piece that's one away from the best because I like how it looks and boots I got in the first 20 hours of play. I do use the best weapon and I enchant all my stuff, I have 3-4 versions of each thing I like enchanted in ways that make sense for different vocations but I don't even think that's necessary. I once forgot to change armor when switching a vocation and I was half tired so aside from the weapon everything but the boots and cape(doesn't matter) got unequipped and I was killing things fine and that was back around 320 or something. You can use the Wayfarer for the same effect but I just personally prefer the sorcerer or mystic spearhand and some abilities you can't use as a wayfarer with them.

Man why did they scrap the assassin class :(

Ares morpho robe is the reward from the sorcerer master together with the maelstorm skill right?

What style should I upgrade the thief's armor as? The arena breeches and all that

Thanks you so much bro Big like ❤but you sure at 100%?

I very sad but cover art armor its not present in the game very sad😢

I actually ran down and unlocked magic archer at level 30 and still haven’t really touched main quest.

Third option just wait till volcanic island, made it there with 70 hour splayed using basically just starter gear and occasional stuff u find I’m the world, only boight 2 sets and it was for my thief in the nameless village and one for my warrior pawn at rest town, now I have 700k gold and will be doing an upgrade for my 5 favorite vocations and take those into end game

Question, new to this series. When I'm looking for armor, besides the stats, I read the text above the stats. Often times it will describe something that I interpret to be another function of the armor. For example, the Esoteric Vestment (the Sorcerer chest piece you recommended in Arbor) says it heightens mental fortitude. Does that actually do anything? Or the Elven Garb chestpiece that states it serves wielders of bows or magick exceptionally well. Does that give a buff to magick users and bow users? Just asking in general for armor, besides defense, magick def, Shash Res, etc, is there any "less obvious" details/buffs about armor/equipment that you recommend that sets it above the rest of the armor that you don't recommend?

For first run try to go on with whatever you have because in the second run you will get more and better armor/weapons in any shop and you get in wlc shop

Y'all use helmets?

Best armor?! Who looks at armor stats?! Fashions Dogma FTW!

Maybe instead of just “best armor” you should say that this is for leveling and not endgame

It is all fashion for me. I barely look at stats and just upgrade all the time lol. I am always broke

I can’t get the dwarves armor quest to open up…the guard won’t mention it in court near the castle.

From the Conspicuously Missing Department: The Ares Morpho Robe that you can get for _free_ by completing The Sorcerer's Appraisal quest in Checkpoint Rest Town fairly early.

Good info. But i will ignore any pawn in "best Armour". The game is easy enough to make your pawns unique over making them an end game clothes.

Can't find the chain mail for the thief. Been looking all over. Any suggestions of where in that area to look?

The only thing i miss in guide: which UPGRADES best for classes? (for example Battahli for melee and Vermundian - for range. OR Vermundian - for all???) But anyway thanks for your guides. AWESOME job!

Ares moca something for sorcerer can be found for free in waterfall cave defeat the lich.

Curious why on mystic archer u didn’t include Rathe Greaves. Great stats for mystic archer and spearhead so u get a 2 for 1 For warfarer. Then the Eonian coat for mystic archer is great also

Yeah it's not really the "best armors" it's armor evolution till late game and optimisation. Already done the theorycraft for armors have all bis armors and most of those items will be replaced later on. At least if we are only talking about stats. But well... STYLE > Stats One important point is that Dwarf upgrade is 100% of the time the best upgrade for armor and 95% of the time the best upgrade for other items. Reason is simple it up strength + magic like the balance upgrade in first city but it adds a LOT of knockdown power. So even if your main goal isn't to knockdown ennemies it's much better to bring more knockdown than few % damage (others are like a boost of 5% to 10% damage. Only exceptions are Staffs (long & short) and maybe Magick Bow (but i think dwarf upgrade is still better on it). If we are honest there's no need to really focus those things to finish the game. You can end the game buying armors / weapons from Desert City and just throw 2 random upgrade on each piece of gear. Better focus on the late game optimisation and throw materials on the "real" piece of equipment that are good.

What about the enshadowed battle garb for the thief? Anyone knows to find?

can you do a video on where to find ines Ive checked both checkpoint rest town and harve village someone on the wiki called her big foot and it was so relatable D:

do you have an end game/unmoored world version of best gear?

Can you please do a video on where to find certain materials to upgrade equipment. I can’t find black crystal I can’t find the certain bones to upgrade my daggers it’s crazy

I just go for whatever looks the best. The game isn't hard enough to care that much about defenses.

For head gear i can equip a head piece and a neck scarf. Does it stack?

There are still things that are left to interpretation in gear descriptions that still bugs me. Some clearly state special effects but there are others that say all types of things that would have you believe that they do also but don't 😮‍💨

a suggestion for a video i think would be Best Pair classes for you and your pawn, like if you go sorcerer then your pawn go mage for cure? fighter/warrior for tank and protect you? what you guys think is this good?

When i almost hit end game then i realize. The more revealing the better performance

I unlocked the charming corset from the collecting the coins and that things great for every class. It weighs 3.14 and covers both body and legs slots. I Took it to my dwarf buddy with the bad back and final stats after 3 upgrades get it too. Defense 612 Magic Defense 566 Slash res 5 Strike 0 KnD res 418 Pretty strong

Don't waste money on the Ares robe for sorcerer, you get it for free when you complete the maister sorcerer quest in checkpoint town.

..and it looks great!

Can there be like a hub best armor per class video?

Step 1: Spend whatever amount of gold or time that is necessary in order to get your Fashion’s Dogma sorted out and locked down. Step 2: Look good and profit (because armour really doesn’t matter, the game is easy. If you fully upgrade whatever looks best to you then you’ll do just fine).

What at he best place or upgrade gear at it was never explained

Are all the items from the dragonforged in NG+ BIS?

Escoteric is a waste if you do the Maisters quest line you get an Ares Morpho Robe though Ares Morpho is ugly asf unless you're a female.. Wish I knew that before I watched this and bought that.. I also handed in 5 fake grimmores.. so yeah

So all mid or endgame gear is bought from a vendor. So much for making exploring fun.

I feel like he is completely overlooking the resistances on gear and also gearing up situationally. Your fighter isn't going to die taking a bunch of physical attacks they are going to die from elemental attacks or being debilitated. Their gear inherently has less magic defense than other classes. I would recommend getting as much magic defense as possible

so if the elegant peticoat is BIS for female magik archers what about my male character? why doesn't the armor change depending on what gender is wearing it. i don't really want to enter endgame wearing a boob tube lol but great video thanks Fextra

Wish you could toggle the helmets on or off instead of the visors 😂

How does fextra still have discord mic 😂

I dont know how I got it but the hood of nonentity seems good all the way to lategame because it gives 10% slash and strike resistance alone.

can someone tell how to find serpents to upgrade the twinblade you get for defeat the dragon

Elegant Petticoat is so gay 😅

Hey @FextraLife we found a home only accessible after saving Empress Nidinia successfully, sold by a woman in the hall leading to the lambent flame itself, and she sells a home IN THE PALACE priced at 300,000 G its got a gorgeous view as well.

It's actually very weird to me that Warfarer exists in this game to side-step having the OP strider instead. I think this guide exposes just how foolish it is to not rush for Warfarer unlock so that you can equip the best combo of gear in the game (something I had figured out a while back that echoes the guidance here) with literally no downsides other than losing a bit of STR/MAG. DPS has never been an issue in these games, but damage mitigation has always been supreme. I'm still maining warrior with all 4 skill slots but I can swap to the exp bow for boss kills or use a mage staff to get seekers tokens at will from the inventory screen. I really think they screwed this one up because once I read you can equip any weapon on Warfarer, I knew it would be bonkers busted and the only class people will play. Sadly, I was right.

Kinda bugs me a little that they didn't do male and female versions for most the best armour as my guy doesn't look good in the petticoat or the corset 🤣

For a game that pushed for not having 1 "Meta" gear they do have a small range of choice that look good and have stats, at this point im just going fashion.

Nah… not wearing that recommended magic archer dress….
