Other armor art: It appears these should be ordered by profession

New page

Each [[hero]] comes with a default armor model unique to the hero. Players may upgrade the [[hero armor]] with [[rune]]s and/or [[insignia]]s. Players can also update most hero armor to one of two other models; this has no effect on the the hero's [[armor rating]] or on the applied upgrades.

== Armor rating ==

A hero's armor rating is dependent solely on their [[profession]] and [[level]]:

== Runes and insignias ==

Every hero's headpiece comes with an inherent <[[Item's Attribute |Item's Attribute + 1]]>. Similar to player character armor, each hero armor piece can be upgraded with a rune and insignia. These can be safely [[salvage]]d from the hero using an [[Expert Salvage Kit]], since, unlike player character armor, hero armor cannot be removed or broken.

== Armor appearance upgrades ==

Players can upgrade the armor of most heroes by trading in special items found in certain [[challenge mission]]s in Nightfall and Eye of the North to an appropriate [[hero armorer]]. Once ''upgraded'', the armor sets can be swapped at-will by returning to any of the relevant NPCs. Changing a hero's appearance has no effect on the armor rating or on any applied runes or insignias.

You must update the hero's armor before they can be added to the [["Fellowship"]] monument in the [[Hall of Monuments]], except for [[M.O.X.]] — the [[golem]] only has one armor set and can be added to the monument immediately after acquisition.

; Exceptions

You cannot upgrade the appearance of [[M.O.X.]], [[Devona]], the [[Ghost of Althea]], or any of the heroes unlocked through [[Guild Wars Beyond]]: [[Keiran Thackeray]], [[Miku]], and [[Zei Ri]]; other than M.O.X. these are also the only heroes that cannot be added to the monument. (Although Keiran has two alternate armor sets, they are not yet implemented due to lack of resources for updating the Hall of Monuments.<ref name="Stumme">[[Feedback talk:John Stumme/Archive 2#Thackeray and HoM|Thackeray and the Hall of Monuments]], John Stumme, Guild Wars Wiki</ref>)
