This is a guide on the best Armour to craft for your Hero which will give you the maximum boosts for the most important game mechanics in my opinion, The list will include all Armour types for your Hero, Which are Helmet, Armour, Weapon, Boots and Amulets, Note it is possible to have the same amulet in both Amulet slots. Some of the best Armour for your Hero could be standard equipment,Invader equipment and Special equipment. In my option it is best to only ever Craft Legendary Equipment which will give you the maximum boosts and you will be able to add the maximum number of gems to your Armour which is 3 and you will be able to add a Rune to the Armour too which you can only do if the Armour is Legendary. A lot of the Armour I am yet to craft as I do not have all the materials yet at Legendary Level but I believe the wait will be Worth it. Some of the best ways to get standard material is to do a lot of task refreshers as you can sometimes get material as well for doing tasks. You should try and buy task refreshers from the clan store if you are in a clan. Also another good way to get standard material is to farm resource tiles the Level 6 tiles are the best as you have a chance to get Legendary material. Try to farm the tile which will give you a specific material for example if you need Elixir go to a food tile or if you require a Diamond go to an Iron tile, Please note that a Silver or Gold tile can give you any of the 16 Standard materials. Another Excellent way is to purchase coffer's of Legendary Materials which can give you any of the 16 standard materials. Please note you are not Guaranteed to Get Legendary material from the coffer you may  only get Rare or Epic. Invader equipment is a lot harder to get than standard equipment the only way to get it is to attack invaders yield invader lairs or umber lairs or yield level 7 resource tiles when they are available. Please note that you can only receive Barbarian and Centurion Material from the Level 7 tiles. Now too the Special equipment, The Only way to craft Special equipment is to have a clan stronghold, as well as this your stronghold must have the Arms Guild building constructed too. Once your Stronghold has this Building you will have to study special drafts which can only done by the clan chief or an Elder. There is a total of 50 drafts which can be studied once each draft is studied all clan members can craft the specific Equipment providing they have all the material. Special equipment is generally crafted by a mixture of standard material, Invader material and you will also have to craft standard and invader Armour as this is also required to craft the special Stronghold Armour. Once you have all the standard/invader Material and Standard/invader equipment that you are going to use they will all be combined to make your new special Armour, If your Armour that you are going to use has gems and runes encrusted in them remove them with the rune/diamond knife as they will be destroyed when your new special Armour is crafted.
