The armour catalogue
Every armour piece in the game, organised by slot and weight class — 498 of them, each with its real in-game damage reduction, tier and quality scaling, read straight from the client. The documented endgame sets also carry their full crafting recipe. Search it, filter by slot, weight, tier or nation, and open any piece for the full breakdown.
The three weight classes
Every piece belongs to a weight class that decides how it plays, and each is weakest to a different damage type. Four pieces of the same class grant a flat +10% to all damage reduction. Within a tier, stats are standardised — nations differ in looks, not numbers.

Bars scale to the highest reduction in the game (26%), so a bar’s length means the same in every table. A dash (—) marks a piece the source chart left unconfirmed.
Damage reduction, tier, weight class, names and icons are read directly from the live Gloria Victis client for the current patch; crafting recipes come from the official Gloria Victis wiki (documented sets only). Dev, event and tutorial-only items are excluded. In-game values may shift between patches.
