The Magic armour is armour in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

The magic armour consists of a blue breastplate with curved pauldrons and ornate gold filigree and edges, along with a dark orange fauld with gold edges that fully encircles the wearer's waist attached to a grey belt with a gold buckle. In some early pieces of artwork, the magic armour is worn with a long cape, a bronze coronet with a blue gemstone around the wearer's forehead, and blue vambraces with the same design as the breastplate, and has a jewel on the belt. It is not as heavy as some other suits of armour, allowing it to be used by a wider range of characters, including some spellcasters. This suit of armour is designed to protect wearers from attack spells.

  • The magic armour from Dragon Quest IX has a breastplate in a dark shade of purple. This design would be used for Dragon Quest X and several mobile spinoff games.
