Apprentice armor

The Apprentice armor is a Hardmode magic and summoning armor set purchased from the Tavernkeep for in total, which consists of the Apprentice's Hat, Apprentice's Robe and Apprentice's Trousers.

The total bonus to max number of sentries is +2, allowing 3 to be summoned at once. The Dark Artist armor can be considered a direct upgrade of the Apprentice armor.

A full set of Apprentice armor will provide the following benefits:


 * +32 defense
 * +20% / +10% magic damage
 * +30% minion damage
 * +2 sentry slots
 * +20% magic critical strike chance
 * -10% mana usage
 * +20% movement speed

The set bonus of the Apprentice armor gives a 40% increase to Flameburst sentries' projectile velocity, a 50% increase to target range, and a 90% increase to field of view.

Tips

 * The Apprentice armor set may seem weaker than other post-Mechanical boss magic armor (such as Hallowed armor or Chlorophyte armor), with weaker boosts to magic damage and magic critical strike chance. However, its boosts to the Flameburst sentry summons make it ideal for setting up boss arenas. Three boosted Flameburst towers with the increased damage from the Apprentice armor can provide significant damage against Skeletron Prime, the Destroyer, or Golem.
 * Alternatively, this set allows the summoning of three Queen Spiders from the Queen Spider Staff with strongly boosted damage.
