Shadow Armor

See also: Retired Shadow Armor and Shadow Armor (Spell)
The shadow armor sets are purchased from the three master armorers using Scintillating Gems as currency.
Scintillating gems are created by fusing crystal and shadow crystal Trophies together. You will need a total of 9 scintillating gems for a full suit of Shadow Armor.
Shadow armor is Bonded (cannot be dropped on death), Unenchantable and Dyeable.

== Shadow Armor Upgrades ==
Shadow Armor can be upgraded in a variety of ways. Upgrades are a combination of the old shadow armor upgrades (using major stones, shards, and prismatic glyph) and the upgrades for Atlan and Isparian weapons introduced during The Risen Princess (using blackfire and enhanced blackfire stones). 
Note that all upgrades to the base Shadow Armor can be completely undone using the Stone Tool.
