Notes
Part of the Daring Discoverer Samurai set.

This armor can be seen as a fusion of Zaarvox’s Heart and the Resurrected Warrior’s Armor, giving a mix of speed and MP.
It can be combined with the Traveler’s Trinket for a notable +12 SPD boost. Some may opt to combine Zaarvox’s Heart with an Amulet of Drakefyre to achieve higher speed and HP, although at the cost of less defense, attack, and MP.

Although its proc may seem deterring, when using the full set, it can be used to control your speed more, as 70 speed can be tougher to more precisely dodge with than 55 speed. On the contrary, the full set’s 61 defense prevents the proc from being triggered by 120 damage shots, making it quite effective at godlands dungeon rushing, where enemies generally deal less damage.

First made available within the A STory of War III Campaign, Rank 17.
