The list of available armor is even smaller than the list of weapons. Geralt begins the game with no armor at all, is then given his first studded leather jacket by Vesemir and then there are only two other sets of armor he can acquire over the course of the rest of the game.
Looks similar to the starter armor, except with spiked gauntlets. This is the armor Geralt is seen using in the beginning and end cinematics. It is available from any armorer or weapons dealer in Chapters II and III (Note: Not available from the blacksmith's son in Chapter IV). Perhaps Geralt has made a fashion faux-pas? This jacket is not unique at all!
The highest quality iron ores and state of the art technologies were used in the making of Raven's armor, a legendary suit of armor worn by an even more legendary warrior. It was forged in the gnomes' workshops beneath Mount Carbon, but finished by elves. The songmaster Tyen'sail took an interest in the armor and worked for twelve days straight, each movement of his chisel accompanied by a song of power. It is said that the armor sang a song of victory for its wearer providing him with confidence and calm during battle.
Only three elements remain of Raven's armor: a spaulder, a rerebrace and a gauntlet. Geralt must find these or similar pieces of armor to reforge the protective suit as part of the Armor quest.
