Conan Exiles is a survival game where players need strong weapons and an even stronger wit to survive and thrive. Still, no amount of axes or swords can keep players safe without a study set of armor to protect their literal skin in the game.

Players can try to turtle up and build a strong base but at some point, everyone has to venture out to gather supplies. The right armor can be the difference between coming home unscathed or with severe injuries and nothing for the player's efforts.

10 Khari Overseer

• +6 Strength
• +6 Grit

The Khari is a terrible civilization of slavers though if one also keeps slaves or thralls for themselves in Conan Exiles, then they might need to turn down the hypocrisy and maybe embrace what they've become by taking after the Khari. The Khari Overseer armor set is the best way to label oneself in such a nasty endeavor.

While we don't condone such digital methods, one can't deny the protective appeal of the Khari Overseer armor. If players wear the complete set, they get significant amounts of strength and stamina.

Where to get it: 

• Scroll (Khari Overseer Armor) drops from the final boss of the Wine Cellar. This allows players to craft the armor set.

9 Khari Soldier

• +6 Vitality
• +6 Grit

If being dressed as a slave-trade enforcer of the Khari is a deplorable thought, then perhaps dressing up as one of their soldiers might be more palatable. The Khari Soldier armor set in that regard might be the better option.

It's perfect for players who want to make tanky characters due to the high amount of vitality the armor gives to its wearer. It also has a better helmet compared to the Overseer set, stylistically.

Where to get it: 

• Scroll (Khari Soldier Armor) drops from the final boss of the Wine Cellar. This allows players to craft the armor set.

8 Khari Raider

• +6 Encumbrance
• +6 Survival

By far the coolest-looking out of all the Khari legendary armor, the Khari Raider set is a good choice for shady and stabby players as well as roamers. It grants a lot of encumbrance so players can carry more items. The survival bonus is also great if players don't plan on getting comfy in one spot.

It's by no means an innocent armor though as Khari Raiders spearhead the slave acquisition operations of the Khari. Hence, the need for all that encumbrance bonus. Players can put that to better use if they want.

Where to get it: 

• Scroll (Khari Raider Armor) drops from the final boss of the Wine Cellar. This allows players to craft the armor set.

7 Scorpion Armor

• Cold Resistance
• Poison resistance
• +3 Survival

If players want stylish and functionally impressive top portion armor, then the Scorpion Armor takes the cake. True to its name, it gives out a staggeringly high amount of defense though the armor only has two pieces (helmet and torso).

On top of the good defense, the Scorpion Armor also automatically heals any poison in its wearer's system. If that's not enough, it adds in Poison and Cold Resistance as well as a bit of survival bonus for players who think the world is too harsh.

Where to get it: 

• Guardian of the Flame in The Unnamed City
• The Commander in The Unnamed City
• The Gravewalker in The Unnamed City
• The Watcher in The Unnamed City

6 Sobek's Armor

• +9 Vitality

It's not the best-looking but Sobek's Armor makes players beefy and meaty beyond recognition both literally and figuratively because the armor turns them into an upright crocodile. That's a given since the armor is named after an Egyptian god a crocodilian appearance.

Anyway, Sobek's Armor gives out tons of vitality, turning its wearer into walking crocodile hide tanks. Each individual piece also adds up to the overall defense and resistances.

Where to get it: 

• Aridis, Chosen of Sobek in Xalthar's Refuge

5 Vermin Hide

• Heat Resistance
• +2 all Attributes

Anyone looking for a perfect clothing match for the Scorpion Armor might want to check out the Vermin Hide armor set. This only consists of a pair of pants and a pair of boots, like it was tailor-made as a companion to the Scorpion Armor.

Another reason why it complements the Scorpion Armor so well is the graned Heat Resistance. Meanwhile, it's also great for any character build thanks to the universal stat bonus.

Where to get it: 

• Winged Death in The Unnamed City

4 Pride of Aesir

• Cold Resistance
• +2 Accuracy
• +2 Strength
• +2 Vitality
• +2 Grit
• +2 Encumbrance

Speaking of all-encompassing stat bonuses, the Pride of Aesir won't back down from that contest. It's also one of the best armor sets for players who love to make their characters into well-rounded conquerors.

Each piece of the Pride of Aesir armor gives a specific stat bonus. Wear all of them and they might as well be +2 to the most popular and essential stats. The armor set also looks like it was plucked straight out of a Norse-themed Valkyrie opera performance, players can practically hear Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries while wearing it.

Where to get it: 

• Scroll (Pride of Aesir) from Thorgar the Blacksmith

3 Godbreaker Armor

• Heat Resistance/Cold Resistance
• +100 Armor
• +1 Grit
• +2 Strength
• +2 Agility
• +1 Encumbrance

For one of the most powerful legendary armor sets there are in the game, the kind that makes godly avatars tremble with fear, look no further than the Godbreaker Armor. It turns the players into their own walking avatars of death and destruction.

As far as protection goes, it's the most generous, adding another 100 points of defense on top of the individual piece bonuses. It's also imposing enough to make the players worthy of worship.

Where to get it: 

• A stele in one side of the Warmaker's Sanctuary

2 Commander's Armor

• Heat Resistance/Cold Resistance
• Sandstorm Mask
• +3 Vitality

Another good pairing for the Vermin Hide if players find Poison Resistance wanting is the Commander's Armor. It also only consists of two pieces, the helmet and the torso guard. Its appearance was also inspired by classical greek hoplite attire, complete with the Corinthian helm.

The Commander's Armor is also great for exploration in the desert areas of the game; it comes with an innate Sandstorm Mask, making the wearer resistant to all those flying grains of annoyance.

Where to get it: 

• Guardian of the Flame in The Unnamed City
• The Commander in The Unnamed City
• The Gravewalker in The Unnamed City
• The Watcher in The Unnamed City

1 Arena Champion's Armor

• Cold Resistance
• +4 Strength
• +6 Grit

What good is armor if one can't show it off, right? That's why the Arena Champion's Armor exists the way that it does. It's the shiniest and most radiant armor in the game, made to reflect even the player's enemies' faces so they can see how ugly they look before they're smitten.

Stat-wise, this heavy armor offers plenty of protection along with some impressive bonuses to melee-focused characters. The innate Cold Resistance makes it ideal for snow parts of the map.

Where to get it: 

• A stele in one side of the Warmaker's Sanctuary
