Mage's Armor

You are level 2 so you can now wear armor. Armor increases your defense so you'll be able to defend yourself in combat more efficiently. You can buy armor from an armor merchant or you can find it in dropped loot. The armor you find in loot will often be better than any that can be obtained from a merchant. So, why don't you get some Leather Scout Armor from the Warrior Merchant Shorty in the North West of the village?

Spell Leather Garb is for beginners so you don't need to worry about its price. You can get the Spell Leather Garb from the Magic Weapons Merchants Paula who is in the West of the village.

You've got it. There are a total of 5 parts to the armor that you can wear. However as helmets are not included in the beginner's set, there are 4 pieces for beginners. Don't forget that you can upgrade the armors' defense at a Blacksmith as long as you have a Reinforcement Potion.
