This armor is for letting you fight monsters easier so your not such a punk against easy prey:p with this armor you can lv up your combat skills on too easy's until your up to par with the easy prey again. then you can keep it up until your able to take on decents like you could back in the beginning, this is my theory at least:p essentially its a solo piece of equipment but the experienced player will learn to incorporate it into their pt play as well.
