Kirin's Osode Armor
Acquired from the Market Board or by exchanging 2 Cryptic Seal (DoW gear) or 3 Damascene Cloth (DoM) gear with the Nostalgic Fellow in Kugane (X:7.8, Y:14.2). The materials can be obtained from The Baldesion Arsenal.
This chest armor is best-in-slot for The Forbidden Land, Eureka due to its Elemental Bonus and Haste. (Elemental Armor +2, which is also more difficult to acquire, provides the same Elemental Bonus but no Haste, making it inferior).
DoM armor covers both the chest and head slots. It is not possible to equip any head armor or glamour if the cloak is equipped.
It is recommended that players new to Eureka purchase the armor from the Market Board. Note that it may be cheaper to purchase the individual materials to exchange from the NPC instead of the armor itself.
