Armor Class (AC) helps protect the player from damage and is increased by wearing armor or enchanted jewelry, and increasing Dexterity. Heavy armor tends to have a higher AC than light armor.

Armor Class can be determined using this formula:
- Where is your final AC
- and is the sum of the AC displayed on all equipped armor
Enchanting
Through enchanting, AC can be increased.
- Fortify AC: 1 AC per 20 storage
