Fully equipped Virtue Armor Set

The Virtue Armor is an Item Set, that is, a collection of armor pieces that will receive a special property bonus when all are equipped at once. In this case, each piece receives a bonus of +5 to all Resistances as well as a Self Repair bonus of 5.

The full set offers the maximum possible Resistances (70 in all areas), is Blessed, and will practically never require repair. It is therefore excellent for the purposes of training skills such as Parrying (which essentially involves taking damage at a high rate), or as a reliable form of defense in areas where much Gold would otherwise be lost to Insurance.

On the other hand, due to it's lack of any other Item Properties (some of which are considered essential for certain character types), players seldom use it on a regular basis.

Notes

With the exception of the Cloak of Humility (earnt via Gareth's Quest), all pieces of the set can currently be obtained as Virtue Artifacts.

The Shield of Recognition is an "alternate" award from Gareth's Quest. It is given to those who fail to understand the principles behind Humility, and is not a part of the Virtue set.

The Gauntlets of Valor and the Helm of Spirituality were originally introduced as an 8th Anniversary gift. They may still be obtained via Heritage Tokens.

The Gorget of Honesty was originally obtained via the Seeker of Truth quest.

Virtue armor starts out dyed - when the complete set is worn, the "tarnish" is removed and it takes on it's true appearance. While it's possible to apply Pigments of Tokuno, these will also be cleansed when you equip the full set.

Removing a piece of the armor restores the effects of any dyes. They can be permanently removed via Bleach.

 ==Notes==
-* A named shield was one of the possible outcomes for completing the Cloak of Humility Quest. Entitled the [[Shield of Recognition]], it was in essence a boobie prize for those players who did not fully understand the humility required to win, or merit, a Cloak of Humility. As the Shield of Recognition <i>was </i> a legitimate, if sarcastic, reward for completing the quest, many consider the shield as a component of the Virtue Armor Set.
+* With the exception of the [[Cloak of Humility]] (earnt via [[Gareth the Emissary of the RBC|Gareth's Quest]]), all pieces of the set can currently be obtained as [[Artifacts (Virtue)|Virtue Artifacts]].

-* [[Dupre's Shield]], a blessed [[artifact]] available from a [[Heritage Token]] and associated with the great hero [[Dupre]], is often considered a good complement to the Virtue Set.
+* Removing a piece of the armor restores the effects of any dyes. They can be permanently removed via [[Bleach]].
-* The individual pieces of the Virtue Armor Set can be dyed with Tokuno Pigments. Any such dyed pieces, however, will also be affected by the color change that occurs when the full Armor Set is worn.
