best armor set?

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

I've found the Magdberg Plate set to be very decent, but the noble's cuirass and gauntlet seem more durable and offer more defence than their Magdberg counter parts. Problem is I've never been able to find all the pieces for the full noble's plate set, and I'm wondering if anyone here has an opinion on the highest defensive/best armor?

The helm is subjective. I'm not going to ware a helm that obscures my vision. It's not worth the few extra points.

(unless there is some way to make it not do that every time I draw my weapon)

those stats are the same for the brocade outer jacket but the brocade wins at charisma

Pretts sure the stats are lower, otherwise I would not have replaced it.
The wiki also lists lower stats for your choice.

So, according to the game's Wiki:

Helmet: Warhorse Helmet - Slightly better than the Arching Bascinet. The Warhorse stuff is a preorder bonus set thingy I guess

Coif: Dark Padded Coif for best armor, Dyed Quited Coif for some charisma

Head Chainmail: Noble's Mail Coif for armor, Warhorse Coif for charisma

Outer Garment: Brocade Outer Jacket wins all categories

Body Plate: Bright Milanese Brigandine for armor, Warhorse Brigandine for Charisma

Body Chainmail: Noble Hauberk for stats, Warhorse Hauberk for Charisma

Body Garment: Decorated Arming Doublet

Gloves: The wiki doesn't have the Kuttenberg Gauntlets for some reason but they're the best

Arm Armor: Magdeburg Plate Pauldrons, the Ausberg ones have a tiny bit more charisma

Leg Chainmail: Mail Chausses

Leg Plate: The Ausburg Plate Chausses give significantly more Charisma for only a tiny bit less defense than the Magdeburg ones

Boots: Wiki doesn't say

[Grubbs008]

No no no, all wrong. Quiet Shoes + Monks Habbit is the only way to play.

edit:

Helmet - Arching Bascinet
Chest - Magdeburg (from quest), then milanese
Gloves - Nobleman
Pauldrons - Magdeburg
Chausses (leg plate + boots) - Magdeburg
Head chainmail - Noble's coif

My gear.

Like i said, the difference between some of the gear is not much. Magdeburg - Nuremberg - Augsburg (gloves, paudrons and chausses)

Are you taking into consideration the Warhorse armor set or only non DLC armors?

the warhorse is only for those that pre purchased, so i don't have them.

by the way - you get aditional peices of the magdeburg armor - liek the gloves through another quest line and a different helmet as well. i am pretty sure the entire set is acheivable - you just need to have done enough of the optional stuff to get it

I know the gloves exist but the helmet i'm yet to see, unfortunately i can't progress since main quest is bugged :(

Does someone have the stats for the Kuttenberg Gauntlets? I'm pretty sure the Noble Gauntlets you get from the chest NE of Neuhof has higher stats.

I have a Nurembergian cuirass from a treasure map as best chest = 25 stab, 25 slash, 10 blunt

Quartered combat jacket (captain drop) is best outer jacket = 4 stab, 7 slash, 12 blunt

Kuttenberg gloves are usually 11 armor, but are best looking IMHO. Theres a gold-trimmed noble pair thats 12/12/5.

Boots: Usually cant wear if wearing platemail legs, but if using lamellar then the noble boots are 4/4/1

This video has everything for armor and weapons.

Now you just need the best horse and tack. Got you covered there, too:

So, there you go. I've got everything in those guides, except for the Dark padded Coif. Working on it, though. If you're looking for some free loot, check out the playlist below:

Check the best HIDDEN TREASURE locations and all five ANCIENT TREASURE locations. Pre-order DLC shouldn't be required to get this stuff, though. Enjoy.

I believe the Nuremburgian Curiass is better than the Magdeburg, and I know for sure that the Italian Bascinet is better than the Arching Bascinet

Italian Bascinet isn't better. You need to repair the gear, then compare them.

WHen I played in 1.3.4 there were 2 different noble gauntlets, and 1 of them beat every other gauntlet.
