This page contains all Armor Locations in Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. There are 52 Armor Sets, of which 46 are base game armor and 6 are DLC armor from Pre-Order Bonus and Deluxe Edition. Some “Sets” only contain 1-2 pieces and aren’t full 4-piece sets. Armor can be equipped to the head, chest, arms, legs.
Armor is not needed for trophies/achievements and is therefore optional if you’re just going for Platinum / 1000 Gamerscore. The vast majority of armor is bought from the merchants “Tao Qing” and “Wu Gang” or dropped by bosses. The rest comes from NPC questlines and from some red-eyed madness enemies.
Different Armor Sets give different resistance values to elements and physical damage. Equipping armor with strong resistances to the elements used by bosses is advantageous. Some areas also feature environmental hazards, primarily Corruption, Frostbite, and Despair. When having armor with high resistance to these elements, the effect builds up more slowly which makes it easier to navigate such areas.
Everything is missable. The first region becomes unavailable after talking to the Storyteller in Region 3: Mt. Zhenwu – Zhenwu Altar. If missing an NPC interaction for a required questlines you’ll miss out on the reward. All armor pieces carry over into New Game+. They can be collected again in NG+.
