Continuing on from the last post here are the starting stats for GR 9 armor.

1. Aeros Set

Aeros Kirtle (armor) starts at DEF 38 RES 10 and an added attribute of Wind +3 Aeros Braccae (leg gear) Starts at DEF 33 RES 10 with a wind attribute of +3 Aeros Shoes (foot gear) starts at DEF 33 RES 10 and wind attribute of +3 You may have noticed I haven’t put in Aeros arm gear as I don’t have that at my binding shop, not sure why but if it is available the stats will be the same as the others presumably. As you can see at GR 9 your starting to see better starting stats with the introduction of RES (resistance)

2. Queens Set

Some sets of armor can only be worn by female avatars and some only by male avatars, which is pretty cool. Anyway the Queens set is for female characters and are as follows:

Queens Mail (armor) starting stats at DEF 46 and Earth attribute of +3 Queens Guards (arm gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute of +3 Queens Skirt (leg gear) DEF 39 and Earth attribute of +3 and finally Queens Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute of +3 You need a Lv of 47 to be able to wear this set.

3. Spectral Set

Spectral Mail (armor) DEF 46 with a Earth attribute of +3 Spectral Guards (arm gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute +3 Spectral Culottes (leg gear) DEF 39 and Earth attribute +3 and lastly Spectral Boots (foot gear) DEF 39 with fire attribute +3 Personally I wouldn’t recommend this set for GR 9 as there are a couple of better sets with much better starting stats as you will see next.

4. Heavy Set

Heavy Armor (armor) DEF 52 with Earth attribute of +2 Heavy Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +3 Heavy Cuisses (leg gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +2 and Heavy Sabatons (foot gear) DEF 44 with Earth attribute of +3 As it says, this is a heavy set of armor that although seems quite popular with GR 9 players it’s not the set I recommend. I did wear this set for a while but didn’t enhance it much as I wanted the next set and that is the set I recommend for GR 9 players, assuming your a longsword user and like heavy armor.

5. Animus Set

Animus Armor (armor) DEF 54 with added attribute of fire +3 Animus Gauntlets (arm gear) DEF 45 with wind attribute +3 Animus Breeches (leg gear) DEF 45 and water attribute added of +3 and finally Animus Sollerets (foot gear) DEF 45 with Earth attribute added of +3

The reason I recommend this last set of GR 9 armor is not just because it has the best starting DEF stats, more because each piece gives you added protection against the four elements which helps a lot, most of the monsters, creatures or bosses you will fight will have one element on their side with the exception of certain monsters (like Pyredaemos Rex) who will be immune to elemental attacks, those are the few where you just use brute force (physical) attacks.

That’s all the GR 9 gear and tomorrow I will publish GR 10 armor sets. I’ll be writing them in seperate posts so I don’t get one huge post, it’s better to break it up and also it can be easier for people to ask questions under their specific GR.
