Transcended Igniel Armor & Off-Hand Guide — Stats & Variants
Transcended Igniel armor and off-hands are the top gear tier in Rohan Online, obtained by tiering up Transcended Opaniel pieces at the Blazing Temple. Every armor piece comes in two variants — Attack and Defense — and off-hands split between Shield (Human/Elf only) and Guarder (all races). Understanding which variant and off-hand fits your build before converting is critical, since changing later costs additional Relics.
Armor Pieces — Attack vs Defense Variants
All Igniel armor pieces share the same base: Grade A, Quality Perfect, Required Level 115, 3 sockets, Physical Defense 352, Magical Defense 216, available to races H/E/HE/D/DK/DE/G/Tr/Tn.
Both variants have a fixed base of Defense +150 and All Status +32 at +0. The difference is in the unique option:
- Attack variant (+0): PvE Attack +5% (applied per piece, see table below)
- Defense variant (+0): Defense +5% (applied per piece, see table below)
Per-Piece Unique Options
| Piece | Attack Variant | Defense Variant |
|---|---|---|
| Helmet | Skill Attack Power +5% | Skill Defense +5% |
| Armor | PvE Attack +5% | Defense +5% |
| Tasset | Damage +5% | PvE Defense +5% |
| Gauntlets | PvP Attack +5% | PvP Defense +5% |
| Boots | PvP Attack +5% | PvP Defense +5% |
Armor Scaling
Scaling applies to the unique option percentage, Defense, and All Stats. The values below use any single armor piece as reference:
| Reinforce | Unique Option | Defense | All Stats |
|---|---|---|---|
| +1 | 6% | 157 | 37 |
| +10 | 15% | 322 | 84 |
| +20 | 25% | 667 | 206 |
| +30 | 35% | 1000 | 432 |
Changing Armor Variant
Use a Transcendence Igniel Armor Change Ticket (from NPC Tenzo: Relic x100) to swap a piece between Attack and Defense variants. Reinforce and enhancement levels are kept; spirit stones and refine levels are lost.
Shield vs Guarder
The off-hand slot has two types with different race restrictions and stat profiles:
| Stat | Shield | Guarder |
|---|---|---|
| Race | H/E only | All races |
| Required Level | 115 | 70 |
| Block Rate | 15% | — |
| Physical Defense | 337 | 337 |
| Magical Defense | 207 | 207 |
| Fixed Bonus | PVP Defense +5%, PVE Defense +5% | Attack Speed +20% |
| Sockets | 3 | 3 |
Both share the same base unique options at +0: Skill Defense +5%, Defense +150, All Status +50.
Off-Hand Scaling
Shield and Guarder start at different Skill Defense values at +1 but converge from +10 onward:
| Reinforce | Shield Skill Def | Guarder Skill Def | Defense | All Stats |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| +1 | 46% | 16% | 157 | 55 |
| +10 | 22% | 22% | 322 | 109 |
| +20 | 33% | 33% | 667 | 238 |
| +30 | 47% | 47% | 1000 | 618 |
Shield's Skill Defense starts much higher at +1 but converges with Guarder by +10. Both scale identically from +10 onward.
What Is NOT Possible
There is no Transcendence Igniel Guardian Change Ticket. Once you tier an Opaniel off-hand into an Igniel Shield or Guarder, you cannot switch between the two types. Choose carefully before converting.
How to Acquire
- Armor: Use Igniel's Armor (Attack) or Armor (Defense) Conversion Stone from NPC Shu (Relic x100) on a Transcended Opaniel armor piece.
- Off-hand (Shield or Guarder): Use Igniel's Guardian Conversion Stone from NPC Shu (Relic x100 + Crimson Flame x100) on a Transcended Opaniel off-hand.
All conversions permanently remove spirit stones and refine levels.
Q: Can I switch my Igniel Shield to a Guarder later?
A: No. There is no Transcendence Igniel Guardian Change Ticket. The off-hand type is locked at conversion and cannot be changed.
Q: Do both armor variants scale the same way?
A: Yes. The scaling values for Defense and All Stats are identical between Attack and Defense variants. Only the unique option content differs (e.g., PvE Attack vs Defense).
Q: Is the Guarder better than the Shield for non-Human/Elf races?
A: The Guarder is the only option for non-H/E races. It trades Block Rate and fixed PVP/PVE Defense bonuses for Attack Speed +20%, which can be significant for fast-attacking classes.
