Headgear page names (by prof)[ | ]
The headgear overview page (Necromancer headgear) should be similar to the armor overview page (Necromancer armor). The very useful crafting tables that were created with much dedication from Helena should be moved to the quick reference pages (example: Warrior armor crafting quick reference).
The plural names are used for Prophecies and unique headgear pages because Mesmer, Ranger, Elementalist and Paragon headgear has more than one art type on a single page. (Note: Monk and Necromancer headgear have only one art type... but nobody is perfect.)

Insignia stuff[ | ]
The following information is my (unfinished) attempt at rewriting the Insignia article.
Description[ | ]
Insignias are prefix upgrade components applied to armor that are available for armor sets crafted in Elona and created with the PvP Equipment panel. Insignias provide bonuses to armor sets. For example, the Radiant insignia adds extra energy in addition to the basic armor statistics.
The introducion of insignias in the Nightfall campaign completely separated armor bonuses from armor sets. All armor sets, including headgear, crafted in Elona come with an empty slot for adding an insignia. This separation allows players to apply insignia bonuses to any Nightfall armor set they choose. Some insignias have a different bonus when applied to armor covering different areas of the body.
Insignias, similar to runes, have a fixed value bonus as described in the table below. Any piece of armor with an insignia (prefix) can also have a rune (suffix). It is suspected that some insignias can only be obtained as loot on gold items (see Talk:Insignia for discussion).
Acquisition[ | ]
Insignias are available from Rune Traders in all campaigns, and can be traded with other players, however the only way to obtain new insignias in PvE are to salvage them from 'salvage armor' obtained as loot in the Nightfall campaign. PvP characters can create armor with insignias in the PvP Equipment panel regardless of campaign, like all PvP items, this armor cannot be salvaged.
Usage[ | ]
Some insignias can be used by all professions, while others are profession-specific. You can easily tell an insignia's linked profession by its appearance (see the table below).
To use an insignia, double-click it and then click on the piece of armor you want to apply it to. Each armor piece can only hold a single insignia. You can replace a insignia with a different one by applying the new insignia to the piece of armor that already has one - a dialog will ask you to confirm the replacement.
You can expert salvage armor that you have attached a insignia to in order to recover the insignia, in a process identical to that for obtaining insignias from salvage armor. However ,the % chance of retaining the armor after salvaging the insignia will be lower than that for salvage armor.
Notes:
- As with all other items obtained from character creation, starter armor and PvP armor cannot be salvaged, so insignias applied to them cannot be recovered. *Collector's armor can be salvaged, so insignias applied to collector's pieces can be recovered.
Prophecies and Factions[ | ]
In the Prophecies and Factions campaigns, prefix armor bonuses are inherent to certain armor sets.
It is important to note that insignia can not be applied to armor purchased in Tyria or Cantha, or to Obsidian Armor crafted with built-in prefixes. This is because all armor in Cantha and Tyria has the 'prefix' already added when you buy it. Also, you cannot apply Insignia that is of another Primary Profession.
For example, Druid's Armor for the Ranger has the energy bonus you would receive from adding a Radiant insignia to a blank Elonian armor. Insignia can be applied to blank Obsidian Armor crafted after the October 25th update. Armor of heroes acquired outside Elona will also accept insignia. e.g. Olias (Necromancer) and Zenmai (Assassin)
Word usage[ | ]
From Dictionary.com:
- INSIGNIA, originally the plural of Latin insigne, began to be used as a singular in the 18th century, and the plural INSIGNIAS appeared shortly thereafter. All uses—INSIGNIA as a singular or plural and INSIGNIAS as a plural—are fully standard. The singular INSIGNE still occurs, but INSIGNIA is more common.

Prophecies Example for Samuka[ | ]
General[ | ]
Samuka crafts standard armor intended for characters of approximately level 10 with Core professions. All armor pieces have basic armor stats. In addition most armor pieces include a bonus as shown in the Armor Sets tables below. Most headgear includes an Attribute +1 bonus. The armor rating depends on character profession.
Label | Armor | Professions |
---|---|---|
Caster armor | 30 | , , , |
Light armor | 40 | |
Heavy armor | 50 |
The cost of armor is 150 plus crafting materials. Several new armor sets, such as Druid's Armor, are first available here. Armor ratings are the same as Corwen in Ascalon City and Breyshaw at Yak's Bend.
