About this Mod
What is Zander's Reinforced Armors?
Every vanilla armor set gets two new tiers: V1 and V2.
V1 is a straightforward reinforced upgrade — more durable, more reliable, no extra complexity. V2 is where things get interesting: each set unlocks its own unique Blessing, a passive effect exclusive to that armor that defines your playstyle.
The mod also adds:
Boosters — Early to mid game artifacts that work with any armor set and bring their own passive effects.
Infused Boosters — The mid to late game upgrade. Combine one with its matching full V2 set to push your Blessing into Imperfect Bless — the strongest version of each build.
Totems of Preservation — Two special relics focused on keeping your armor alive and protecting you when things go wrong.
Mix and match Blessings, Boosters and sets to find the build that fits your style.
