The Introduction
*****************
This guide came into production on 3-27-2006, the
same day that I first began tracking and logging
rune piece drops and trying to confirm their drop rates
with help from the OSG. With this most recent update,
10-14-2008, I hope to have (for once and for all) put
an end to the questions surrounding some of the
previously held disputes about where and how to obtain
some of the rare pieces from the sets in the game.
However, I am only human. So, if you see a mistake
somewhere in this guide PLEASE email me so that I can
correct it for future reference. Thank you.

==========================
>>>>>>>Armor Sets<<<<<<<<<
==========================

The following sets of armor can sometimes be obtained

several pieces at a time, or can be found around
the same area. Several pieces you can obtain in
various ways, such as mini-games, war battles, etc..
You can even find some by just checking out the local
shops as you make your way around Sol Falena.

I have only included those that I have been able to

find myself and verify in-game. If you find them elsewhere,
let me know and I can add it to the faq, with credit
to you included for the find. Also, keep in mind that
like Suikoden IV, one of the best sets of armor, the
Sun Set, won't carry over into a New Game +.

Bonus when worn as a set:

-------------------------
Potch Earned from Battle is Doubled

effect.)

***Special Mention Here. You can stack Prosperity

Equipment with Egbert's Find Potch Skill. You will also
notice that you can abuse the Prosperity Rings. Every
one you equip on a character will count. Meaning,
6 characters in ABP, 4 rings per character, 24 rings
with the Prosperity Set and orb included, will mean
Massive Potch Gains. The Prosperity
Items will only be effective on people in your ABP. ***

==================
3.0) Special Armor
==================

Most of the armor that you'll find listed briefly below,

are some of the more rare items in the game that can
rarely be purchased, and more than likely, only found
in one place.

A) The Corruption Shell-

-Defense +120, Magic +50

--Price- 999990 Potch
--Purchased from Mohsen
--Character must have 350+ Hp and 100
enemy kills to equip this armor.

B) The Saint's Cloak-

-Defense +130, M.Def.+50

--Price- 999990 Potch
--Purchased from Mohsen
--Character must have 300+ Hp,
and less than 30 Kills made.

***Special Mention Here-

Saint's Cloak Strategy~

This is probably common sense to most, but I wanted

to post it anyways. An easy way to get your characters
equipped with the Saint's Cloak around the point after
you can travel to the H.Ville Naval Base is to use the
Prosperity Set/Rings (Obviously, to help you afford the
high cost of buying them) but to only take out a
team of the same 5 recruits + Hero V or the Prince).

This may sound stupid, as you will eventually max their

skills and want to switch and play with other characters,
I understand. But skill points, once maxed even, can be
moved to party skill points, and from there used to level
up people who haven't even fought yet. Ideally, you would
take advantage of people with the Potch Finder skill
during this time as well.

4/27/2019 Suikoden V Armor Guide for PlayStation 2 by Blazefeeler - GameFAQs

If you can pick 5 that you like to play with, this will
let you purchase Saint's Cloak at a pace of about 1 every
15-20 minutes, depending on where you fight, and how
much you can take advantage of the Prosperity items.
Once you purchase the Cloak, you can simply press O and
equip it onto a character in your reserves
(Which will be many) you haven't used much in
battle that meet the requirements. Those who do not yet
meet the requirement (likely because of HP deficiency)
will have to be leveled up. This can also be safely done
from lower levels by switching them in one or two at a
time into your party. You'll probably want to make sure
they have as much defense as possible to survive, or
that you have fast, hard hitting members, to take out
the enemy swiftly so that the lower level allies can
reap the rewards.

Voila. Fast and easy Saint's Cloaks all around.

C) The Gray Coat-

-Physical Defense +68, Magic +10, M. Def+5

-- You can't purchase this armor from any vendor.
--Found in the first Sol Falena War battle and
dropped from the (Thunder) Rune Archer Unit.

--You can't purchase this armor from any vendor.
--Found in both the Sol Falena series of battles,

on Lyon's path.
