Mana-Infused Armor was released at Duskruin Arena in February 2020 at Sigil Shop by GameMaster Estild. Sigil Staves, with which Mana-Infused Armor synergize, also received a large update on February 19th and 20th, 2020.

Tier 0

At this tier, it is standard armor with some special messaging verbs. As with Sigil Staves, these special verbs make use of settings that are customizable via a willing GALD merchant and can be viewed in the armor's ANALYZE.

Tier
  0: a standard hunts with some special messaging

Unlocked verbs: bow, clean cover, fidget, infuse, knock, touch, turn, wave

The hunts can have the color and adjective of its energy/light customized with a descriptive word or phrase.  Various messaging will include these custom settings.

  The current setting is:
       color: (Unset, will default to albino pink - your eye color.)
   adjective: (Unset, will default to a value based upon your magical lore training)
      phrase: (Unset, will default to a value based upon your magical lore training)
  The phrase should also be prefixed with the adjective.

  Customization should remain simple, nothing so complex as to require a comma.
  Examples of functional customization choices:
    colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
 adjective: crackling, nebulous, wraithlike, translucent
    phrase: crackling tendrils of elemental, nebulous tendrils of spiritual, wraithlike tendrils of sorcerous, translucent tendrils of psychic
  In each case, these words/phrases will be placed in front of words like "energy" and "light".  Try to keep it to five words or less.

Additional Information

Set Bonus with Sigil Staves

If both a Sigil Staff and Mana-Infused Armor are used in combat, the staff gains the ability to flare a Sigil of Binding effect via an SMRv2 attack that roots your opponents and prevents them from using combat maneuvers. Each tier of both the Sigil Staff and Mana-Infused Armor increases the odds of a flare by 1% (up to 10%, if Tier 5 of both are used).
