Heritage:	Lugian
Coverage:	Full
AL:	See Loot

Notes

Covenant armor is unique in its design. Unlike all other types, Covenant armor (abbreviated as cov) is unenchantable, comes with base armor levels of up to 509, and requires base defense skill levels to wield. Cov can, however, come with enchantments which will increase its armor values.
It cannot be tinkered with steel. Instead players tinker its physical and elemental protection values to increase its effectiveness.
Originally, cov armor could not be dyed, and only came with Melee and Missile Defense requirements. The dyeable property and Magic Defense requirements were introduced in later events.
In the Ancient Powers, a new armor type, Olthoi Armor, was introduced with the same properties as Covenant Armor.

Because of its properties, cov armor is perfect for characters without Item Enchantment. A piece with the proper built-in banes and impen and protection tinkers can be as effective as standard enchantable armor. Because of its high base AL, cov armor is also useful as anti-hollow armor.

Covenant armor is created by the Lugians of Linvak Tukal. It was delivered to The Arcanum, but was stolen from their storehouse. From the Atonement Teaser, “The Lugians delivered the armor to us as promised. But when the storehouses were raided, we lost every last piece. We have had very little luck ascertaining the whereabouts of anything that was taken.”

Underclothing Coloration

Each piece of Covenant Armor has inlaid designs that take their coloration from the underclothes that the character is wearing. Many of the designs take on the color of the character's shirt, while a subdued secondary pattern takes on the color of the character's pants.

One interesting and little-known fact is that the more recently added shirts and pants with larger icons and multiple colors, such as Silk Lace Shirts, Poet's Shirts, and Viamontian Pants, have two colors. Both of these colors transfer to the Covenant Armor's inlaid designs, creating a much more intricate pattern.
