Editing Armor (Origins)

{{For|the armor in other games|Armor (Dragon Age II)|Armor (Inquisition)}}

'''Armor''' in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins]]'' is protective covering used to prevent damage from being inflicted to the wearer. Armor mitigates physical damage; it does not make you harder to hit. [[Shields (Origins)|Shields]] are an exception; they make you harder to hit and offer additional protection against missile hits. Armor does not degrade and can be crafted from a variety of mystical and mundane [[materials]].

== Basics ==
Armor comes in the form of body armor, [[boots]], [[gloves]], [[helmets]], and shields. Having the matching [[Item sets (Origins)|set]] of gloves, boots, and armor of a given set typically provides additional bonuses; as an entire set that was designed to be used together is more effective than mix and match.

Although technically not armor, some [[clothing]] and [[cloth helmets]] nonetheless offer limited protection, as well as other stat bonuses, meant especially for [[Mage (Origins)|mages]]. Collars and [[Kaddis]] are the upgrade slots for [[Dog]] and have armor-like properties. The golem [[Shale]] can use [[Large Crystals]] instead of armor.

To use armor, a character must meet a minimum [[Attributes (Origins)#Strength|strength]] requirement. Armor is not limited by race or class but some special armors are only usable by specific [[Classes and specializations (Origins)|specializations]]. [[Arcane Warrior]]s using [[Combat Magic]] are governed by their [[Attributes (Origins)#Magic|magic]] attribute instead of strength.

Note that the armor ratings listed here are for the base versions. Some armor has special bonus properties (shown as "Stats" in the summaries). For example, the [[Gloves of Diligence]] has a base armor rating of 2.10, but a bonus stat of +4 armor, for a total of 6.10 armor.

== Types ==
There are four types of body armor: [[Massive armor|massive]], [[Heavy armor (Origins)|heavy]], [[Medium armor (Origins)|medium]] and [[Light armor (Origins)|light]]. Each type of body armor has several types of materials that they can be made of. As the Player moves through the game, higher tiers of armor will become available. Tiers 1–7 are available in ''Origins'', while tiers 8–9 are only available in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening|Awakening]]''. They are listed here in order of increasing defense.

Light armor: Rough (Tier 1)  Cured Hide (Tier 2)  Leather (Tier 3)  Hardened (Tier 4)  Reinforced (Tier 5)  Inscribed (Tier 6)  Drakeskin (Tier 7)  Dragonwing (Tier 8)  High Dragon Hide (Tier 9)

Medium, heavy, and massive armor: Iron (Tier 1)  Grey Iron (Tier 2)  Steel (Tier 3)  Veridium (Tier 4)  Red Steel (Tier 5)  Silverite (Tier 6)  Dragonbone (Tier 7)  White Steel (Tier 8)  Volcanic Aurum (Tier 9)

 There are four types of body armor: [[Massive armor|massive]], [[Heavy armor (Origins)|heavy]], [[Medium armor (Origins)|medium]] and [[Light armor (Origins)|light]]. Each type of body armor has several types of materials that they can be made of. As the Player moves through the game, higher tiers of armor will become available. Tiers 1–7 are available in ''Origins'', while tiers 8–9 are only available in ''[[Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening|Awakening]]''. They are listed here in order of increasing defense.
