Ethereal armor is purchased from the Reim Base Camp for 75,000 ethereal scrip. It has three fluff tiers, five defensive tiers, and one padding tier that can be unlocked (some of these tiers can be purchased from the Reim Base Camp in the form of a waiver). Each defensive tier adds +5 defensive strength to a maximum of +25 at tier 5. The auction unlock adds critical padding to the defensive flare resulting in 2 points of padding per unlock to a maximum of 10 points of padding. The padding stacks with all other forms of padding. The fluff color, defensive flare color, and padding color can all be customized.
