What is the best Dragon's Dogma 2 armor? While grabbing buffed-up armor isn't quite as exciting as acquiring a shiny and new weapon, protecting yourself is vital in Dragon's Dogma 2; many things wish to relieve you of your limbs, and if you don't put some thought into your defense, you won't be able to mount much of an offense.

Each of the Dragon's Dogma 2 vocations has a specific style of armor, which generally reflects how you play that particular class. This can range from the Dragon's Dogma 2 Fighter wearing heavy chainmail to tank the heavy hits, to the Dragon's Dogma 2 Thief, who prefers lighter protection to stay nimble on the battlefield. Here is how you can get the best Dragon's Dogma 2 armor.

How to find the best Dragon's Dogma 2 armor

The Dragonforged vendor is, according to them, a former Arisen, and has taken to a life of solitude. They can be found on the coast between Battahl and Vermund. We have highlighted the location on the map above. It's there where you'll find the best Dragon's Dogma 2 armor.

You likely won't have access to this vendor early on, unless you're on a Dragon's Dogma 2 new game plus run, but the Dragonforged shop contains end-game level armor for every vocation. The only drawback is that you can only purchase this gear with Wyrmslife Crystals (WLC) - an extremely rare item that is only obtainable when fighting and - hopefully - defeating drakes.
