The further you move into the game, the faster you'll get to the good armor sets! The Hollowfang is a solid armor, and it can help you get through some pretty hard hits without dying.

One of the best things about the Twilight armor set is that it makes you immune to sunlight if you wear all four pieces simultaneously. This is an extremely powerful, top-tier armor. However, it is only accessible via console commands, and unless your server allows it, there's no way to get it.

Bloodmoon

Bloodmoon is hands-down the best armor set in V Rising. It can be created by feeding the Athenaeum enough Schematics to get random recipes, or just by killing high-level enemies and getting lucky. All four pieces of the Bloodmoon armor set can be crafted at the Tailoring Bench. In order to make it, you'll need to sacrifice the Dawnthorn armor set and add Imperial Thread, Silk, and Primal Blood Essence, which is extremely rare.
