+====== Armor Tiers ======
+Armor tiers represent the different levels of armor available in Remixed Dungeon.
+==== Description ====
+Armors in Remixed Dungeon are organized into five tiers, with each higher tier offering better protection but also greater weight and strength requirements. Each tier represents a different balance between protection and practicality.
+==== Armor Tiers ====
+  * **Tier 1** - [[en:rpd:cloth_armor_item|Cloth Armor]]
+    * Lightest armor with minimal protection
+    * No strength requirement
+    * Lowest durability consumption
+  * **Tier 2** - [[en:rpd:leather_armor_item|Leather Armor]]
+    * Basic protection with balanced weight
+    * Minimal strength requirement
+    * Good for early game progression
+  * **Tier 3** - [[en:rpd:mail_armor_item|Mail Armor]]
+    * Moderate protection and weight
+    * Moderate strength requirement
+    * Good all-around armor for mid game
+  * **Tier 4** - [[en:rpd:scale_armor_item|Scale Armor]]
+    * Good protection with higher weight
+    * Higher strength requirement
+    * Strong armor for mid to late game
+  * **Tier 5** - [[en:rpd:plate_armor_item|Plate Armor]]
+    * Highest protection but very heavy
+    * Highest strength requirement
+    * Best protection for those who can handle the weight
+==== Tier Characteristics ====
+  * **Protection**: Higher tiers provide more defense rating
+  * **Weight**: Higher tiers are generally heavier
+  * **Strength**: Higher tiers require more strength to wear efficiently
+  * **Durability**: All tiers have similar durability mechanics
+  * **Enchantability**: All tiers can receive armor glyphs
+==== Tier Considerations ====
+  * **Strength Management**: Ensure sufficient strength for the armor tier
+  * **Weight Impact**: Consider how weight affects movement speed
+  * **Protection Needs**: Balance protection with other needs
+  * **Resource Allocation**: Tiers provide different value for upgrading
