List of removed historical, inherent armor bonuses: Removed an unnecessary word for consistency

New page

{{historical content}}

== Original armor system ==
{{section-stub|perhaps need more fleshing out by someone who used the old system extensively}}

=== Background ===
Originally, insignias were only available for [[PvP]] and Guild Wars Nightfall. The [[Game_updates/20070524#Armor_Insignias_and_Bonuses|May 24, 2007 update]] replaced the old armor bonus system with salvageable insignias available for every campaign.

=== List of removed historical, inherent armor bonuses ===
This list includes all inherent armor bonuses that were removed from the game, organized by the equivalent, current insignia. The last column shows ''no applicable'' ({{no|x}}) if a salvageable insignia had no precursor in the old system.
