Starting Armor Sets

For other uses, see Starting Armor Sets (disambiguation).

Starting Armor Sets are the armor sets that are worn by the starting classes in Dark Souls. All classes except the Deprived class have their own armor set. The armor sets can also be found later on in the game, the player does not have to start as a particular class to obtain the armor.
