Beyond the generic gear, Gloria Victis has named armour sets — six matching pieces sharing a name and a look. This is the field guide to which ones matter and how you get them.
How named sets work
- A set is six pieces of one quality level sharing a naming convention; its stats follow its [tier](/wiki/armoury/armour-tiers), standardised with other gear of that tier.
- Not all armour belongs to a set, and — importantly — set membership does not grant a bonus. The only set bonus is the 4-piece same-weight-class one, so you can freely mix named sets of the same weight.
- Sets are tied to nations cosmetically; the stats are the same across nations at equal tier.
The notable sets
| Set | Tier | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Champion's | 5 | Glory Vendor only — bought for Contribution Points; recipes do not drop anywhere |
| Black Guard's | 5 | Craftable — the Ismir tier-5 set |
| Praetorian's | 5 | Craftable — the Sangmar tier-5 set |
| Karleonian | 5 | Craftable tier-5 set |
| Knight's | 4 | Craftable tier-4 set |
| Guardsman's | 4 | Craftable tier-4 set |
| Legionary's | 4 | Craftable tier-4 set |
| Styrsman's | 4 | Craftable tier-4 set |
| Styrborg | 4 | Craftable — documented as an incomplete set |
The standout is Champion's — the only set on this list you can't craft from a dropped recipe. Its recipes come exclusively from the Glory Vendor for Contribution Points, which makes it a genuine PvP status set. Most other sets' recipes can drop in the world or be learned.
Where sets come from
- Crafted — the nation-themed tier-4 sets and the tier-5 sets, from recipes that drop in the world or are bought from vendors. The Crafting wiki covers making them.
- Glory Vendor — the Champion's set (and a range of other recipes), for Contribution Points.
- Reinforcing any set raises its quality above what you can craft.
There are also notable standalone tier-5 pieces worth knowing — the Warsinger's Shield (heavy) and Geiland's Chainmail (medium) among them.
