Silkroad online Armor Guide
Protector, also known as leather, offers less protection then Armor in terms of physical defense but more magical defense. It is also lighter armor so can gain a light bonus if you wear all Protector pieces. You can mix and match Protector pieces with Armor pieces but I wouldn't recommend it. Go with one or the other. The bonus you get from wearing all protector is a 10% run speed increase and a reduction of 10% of the mana cost of all your skills and spells. So if a skill would normally take 20 mana points to use it instead takes 18 mana points. Remember ALL pieces must be Protector to make use of this bonus and you must have all slots that are available to wear "armor" filled. If you are missing your helmet piece then you do not get the bonus even if you have Protector on every other spot.
Garments can not be worn with any other piece of armor. It can not be mixed and matched with the other "armor types." It offers the least physical resistance and the most magical resistance. It is also much lighter and thus gives a bigger bonus when all "armor slots" on your character are filled with Garments. The bonus is a 20% run speed increase and a 20% mana reduction when using skills so a skill that takes 20 mana points will instead take 16.
Personally, I recommend every one start off with Garments until level 20. The difference you see in the physical resistance between the different "armor types" is negligible. The difference you see in the mana potions or downtime you have is immense, especially when you are low level and strapped for cash. That 20% mana reduction bonus from Garments will make a bigger difference in your leveling speed from lack of downtime and cut down on your mana potions that you'll need to use.
