You can't just head out and face the biggest foes in the world with just some fur placed all over yourself. Here are the best early-game armor sets in Enshrouded.
Being efficient in Enshrouded is a combination of a lot of exploration, skill, and class focus. The last one is very important because you don't want to have either your skill points or your armor and weapon choice to be all over the place. Focusing on one specific class to aim for and choosing the game style you are most fond of in Enshrouded is the secret to success. With that being said, let's begin finding our way toward our tailor-made class with the best early-game armor in Enshrouded.
Enshrouded: Best Early Game Armor
Rising Fighter Set
If you are all about dealing the most amount of melee damage while also having a decent amount of physical resistance, the Rising Fighter Armor Set is a great way to start. While the Fur Armor Set is the first set you can unlock from the Blacksmith, once you unlock the Rising Fighter set, then you should just focus on it. Its physical resistance and health bonus will allow you to approach enemies and hit them with the best melee damage you can deal. Prepare your swords and shields!
| Armor Piece | Physical Resistance | Magical Resistance | Special Effect | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rising Fighter Helmet | 15 | 10 | +11% Melee Critical Strike Chance | 1x Metal Sheets 1x Animal Fur 3x Resin |
| Rising Fighter Chest | 42 | 21 | +60 Health | 4x String 4x Animal Fur 2x Resin 3x Metal Sheets |

Ranger Set
Let's say you are not very fond of approaching enemies and exposing yourself to being beaten to death by the enemy. Well, the Ranger set is a magnificent example if you want to build a non-magical ranged character. This is a bit more difficult to craft because it is a level 13 set, but if you keep completing quests you will have no issue getting each armor piece's recipe items. Overall, a great set with great protection and Stamina bonuses that will allow you to keep shooting your arrows toward the enemy.
| Armor Piece | Physical Resistance | Magical Resistance | Special Effect | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ranger Hood | 18 | 18 | +13% Ranged Critical Strike Chance | 1x Linen 1x Bones 1x Dried Fur 1x Resin |
Ranger Vest | 44 | 44 | +24 Stamina | 5x Linen 1x Copper Bar 5x Dried Fur 1x Charcoal 2x Amber |
| Ranger Gloves | 12 | 12 | +3% Ranged Damage | 2x Linen 1x Copper Bar 3x Dried Fur 2x Bones |
| Ranger Trousers | 27 | 27 | +9 Stamina | 3x Linen 2x Dried Fur 3x Bones |
| Ranger Boots | 12 | 12 | +2 Stamina Regeneration | 8x Linen 2x Dried Fur |
Alchemist Apprentice Set
What happens if you are not fond of physical prowess and instead would like to become the greatest magic-wielder in Embervale? Well, the Alchemist Apprentice set might as well be a great first step toward that direction. With magic weapons being extremely efficient in Enshrouded, giving them a boost is a great decision. With decent resistance and with Mana bonuses and Magic damage multipliers, the Alchemist Apprentice set will be extremely helpful during the early game.
| Armor Piece | Physical Resistance | Magical Resistance | Special Effect | Recipe |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alchemist Apprentice Hat | 12 | 12 | +11% Magical Critical Strike Chance | 2x Bonemeal 2x Torn Cloth 1x String 1x Metal Scraps |
