Tier 2 Armor

From Anarchy Online Wiki [AOWiki]

The Tier Armor is an armor set that was introduced with the Shadowlands Expansion. It is a profession-specific armor set, and is aimed at providing modifiers to fit the needs of each profession.

Levelling

The Tier Armor is a tradeskilled armor, and each part is a Levelling item. If you have the needed skills, you can upgrade it by right-clicking it until you reach its max QL. Once the Max QL is reached, you have to upgrade your armor (through tradeskills) to the next Tier.

The Tier 2 Armor is upgraded from Tier 1 Armor and some Jobe Armor, and can be upgraded to Tier 3 Armor. The Tier 2 Armor QL Ranges from 160-220.

Availability

Some of the helmet, shoulderpads, and back item Jobe Armor parts upgrade into Tier 2, some do not. Tier 1 pieces all upgrade: Chest / Boots / Legs / Sleeves / Gloves.

In order to craft a said part of Tier 2 armor, you need the corresponding Jobe Armor part or Tier 1 Armor part. You'll also need a Colored Glyph and Red Glyph (note that one glyph is needed for each part that you want to convert). Theses Glyphs need a number of components to be obtained and or prepared.

Crafting Process

  • Go see your IPS Representative in Jobe Harbor Professional Hall, and tell him you have the items for a Red Glyph. When he asks, trade him the 3 Wills and the Embryo. You'll get a Red Glyph of XXX (Aban/Enel/Ocra)
  • Get your Colored Glyph by trading the Advents to the IPS Representative
  • Combine the Canister with the Red Glyph to get a Glyph of XXX - Awakened (This part can be done by a tradeskiller)
  • Combine the Glyph of XXX - Awakened with the Colored Glyph to get a Glyph of YYY (This part can be done by a tradeskiller)
  • For Jobe Armor use your Joker's Glyph on a piece to make Advanced Jobe Armor
  • Use the Glyph of the YYY on your Advanced Jobe Armor part or Tier 1 Armor part to get your Tier 2 armor part. The Advanced Jobe Armor being NODROP, you must do this part on your own. It requires 720 Computer Literacy.
