DragonMarcher's Armor 7 / 3 1.30
DragonMarcher's Cuisses 4 / 2 1.05
DragonMarcher's Helm 4 / 2 0.55

The Marcher's Set is a good early-game armor set to equip without spending gold. It's possible to find all three pieces and an Expeditioner's Cloak by opening a chest in Vernworth Castle. This should save you some gold early on while staying well-defended.

Although you can get the Marcher's Set basically for free, consider purchasing armor suitable for your vocation from the Borderwatch Outpost for their increased defense which should help with surviving the early game. Once you have enough gold, you can upgrade to armor sets from Bjorn's Armory later.

Armor System and Upgrades

Consists of 5 Armor Pieces

Major Armor Pieces
Head Armor Body Armor
Leg Armor Cloaks
Rings -

You can equip up to five (5) pieces of armor in Dragon's Dogma 2. These are your main source of defense and resistances, so don't skimp on them!

Accessories like rings and capes can also be worn by your character to provide additional effects like more Health or carrying capacity.

Armors are Limited to Certain Vocations

Dragon

Most armor can only be equipped by specific vocations. Unlike weapons, some armor pieces can be used by more than one vocation while others can be worn by any vocation.

List of All Vocations and Classes

Can Be Equipped to Pawns

Dragon

In addition to your character, Pawns can be equipped with armors to help them fight for you. Consider giving them armor with effects that complement their role in your team. This goes for both your main pawn and rented pawns.

Pawns System Explained

Obtain Armor from Shops

Similar to weapons, armor is mainly purchased from Shops. Different vendors can offer different pieces of armor, so make sure to check them for armor you want.

Can Be Upgraded in the Blacksmith

Dragon

Armors can be upgraded up to three times in the Blacksmith to improve their defenses and effects. If you're having trouble surviving enemies, consider upgrading your armor before facing those enemies again.

Should I Buy Armor?

Buy Armor to Improve Survivability

Dragon

Improving your survivability can save time so you'll worry less about losing your progress if you die. Gold isn't too difficult to get in the game, and spending them to raise your defenses is a worthwhile investment. Getting rings is also recommended since these grant additional effects.
