Light Armor

Light Armor or Clothes are a recurring type of Body Armor in the series. They have mediocre defense bonuses, but often come with some bonuses, which can go from agility and speed bonuses to elemental defense, and are often used by melee and magical jobs that can't wield Heavy Armor, like the Thief, the Ninja, and the Monk. As examples of recurring Clothes on the series we have the Kenpogi, the Power Vest, and the Ninja Gear.
