{{ rpd:images:armor_kit_item.png|Armor Kit }}

An **Armor Kit** is a special item in Remixed Dungeon that allows players to upgrade regular armor into class-specific armor for their hero subclass.

==== Item Overview ====
  * **Type:** Crafting/Upgrade Item
  * **Acquisition:** Dropped by [[en:rpd:the_king|King]] boss in the Halls level (as defined in [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/nyrds/pixeldungeon/mobs/npc/ArmorSmith.java#L42-L44|ArmorSmith.java:42-44]])
  * **Purpose:** Transform regular armor into class-specific armor
  * **Usage:** Must be used on regular armor while playing as a hero who has chosen the appropriate subclass

==== Mechanics ====
  * **Conversion:** Transforms any regular armor into the corresponding class armor
  * **Stats Preservation:** The upgraded armor retains all properties of the original armor (defense value, enchantment, level)
  * **Subclass Specific:** Each class armor can only be equipped by the corresponding subclass
  * **One-time Use:** The armor kit is consumed when used

==== Class Armors Created ====
  * **Warrior:** [[en:rpd:warrior_armor_item|Warrior Armor]] (with Leap ability) - requires [[en:rpd:gladiator_subclass|Gladiator]] subclass
  * **Mage:** [[en:rpd:mage_armor_item|Mage Armor]] (with Mage Staff special) - requires [[en:rpd:warlock_subclass|Warlock]] subclass or [[en:rpd:battle_mage_subclass|Battle Mage]] subclass

==== Strategy ====
  * Essential for maximizing subclass effectiveness
  * Should be crafted as soon as possible after choosing a subclass
