Shadowforged Armor

 are currently the strongest armors in the game, overtaking Dragonforged Armor on February 25th, 2016. Shadowforged armors, unlike Dragonforged, can be crafted (that is, until December 15th, 2016, when Dragonforged became craftable in Heroic Mode on the NA/Global Servers). To craft a Shadowforged armor, players must collect 12 of each of their respective crafting materials (or, in the case of Seasonal armors, 10). In addition, after upgrading the armor to level 35 (and collecting 12/10 more of the same crafting materials), players can craft the Plus version of the same armor.

, like Epic Armors, max at level 99. However, they differ from their predecessors in that they have "Ascension" levels. Ascension can be achieved after reaching level 99. Ascension upgrades the abilities of the armor, massively increasing the stats (Attack and Defense increases per Ascension level differ based on the armor; see each armor page for further details).

Ascension requires Silver Coins, and there are a total of 10 Ascension levels. The amount required differs per level. The cost of every Ascension level, per level (not cumulative), is 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, and 6, adding up to 32 Silver Coins total. NOTE: this does not apply to Event-specific Shadowforged Armors; they have different requirements for Silver Coins - 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, for a total of 23 Silver Coins.
