Armor comes in male and female types, and vaired by class. Armor doesn't kill monsters, but it gives your character the ability to stay alive, and can add a great deal to his/her killing power.

Hellgate: London's armor comes in all different types and qualities, with countless varieties of magical modifiers. See Character Page for more details.

Armor Attributes

Armor has a base type and extra modifiers, which correspond to added protections, bonuses to attributes, etc.

Armor Quality

Armor is also tiered. In other words, if the basic breast plate has 40 defense, there will be a second level of breast plate with the same graphics but a different name, and around 100 defense. Later in the game, or on a higher difficulty level, you might eventually find a third version of breast plate, with the same graphic and a third name, and 200 defense.

Armor Colors

See Dye Kits for details.

Shields

Paperdoll

Equipment slots in Hellgate: London have evolved over time, but the paperdoll has always looked basically the same as it does in every RPG. In the center you see your character in their equipment, surrounded by the item slots. Besides the three weapon switch slots, all characters can equip torso armor, helmet, gloves, boots, shoulder armor, leg armor, and a belt. Belts, incidentally, are just another piece of equipment in Hellgate: London. They do not provide spaces to store potions or scrolls, as they did in Diablo II.

All of the items can be clicked on and viewed individually, and even rotated to see how they look from all angles. Every piece of equipment you put on your character will show up on your character exactly as it looks in the inventory window, and as you dress and undress your character you will see the items appear instantly. You can rotate your character around in the paperdoll display to see how they look from the side or behind.
