To choose the best armor in Dragon’s Dogma 2 is to travel all across the world and spend every single coin you have in your pockets. Today we will take a look at the best armor pieces – consisting of head, body, and leg armor – for every single Vocation in the game.
For each Vocation I will be picking both the base game’s best armor – before ending your first run of the game and entering NG+ – and the endgame best armor and separate them in their sections. This will help you out indeed and make things a bit more interesting because most of the absolute best armor pieces are obtained by trading Wyrmslife Crystals – from now on referred to as WC – with The Dragonforged.
Finally, since we mentioned The Dragonforged, I will add some endgame armor alternatives that won’t require WC but gold or found inside treasures. Note that this won’t happen often, so don’t forget to fight some dragons while you are exploring Vernworth and Battahl. Here are the best armor sets for each Vocation in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
