Shadow armor

Shadow Armor consists of a Shadow Helmet, Shadow Scalemail and Shadow Greaves.

A full set grants a basic 19 defense, and a 15% increase in melee attack speed.

If the full suit is worn, the player leaves an afterimage while runnig and emits shadow particles while standing still. However, these effects only happen if there are no items in the social slots, much like Molten Armor. Also, when wearing a full set, the Rocket Boots will have purple flames.

It takes a total of 60 Demonite Bars and 45 Shadow Scales to craft a full suit of Shadow Armor. Until the 1.0.5 update, a piece Shadow Armor was also dropped when the Eater of Worlds was defeated.

Development
During Alpha, Shadow Armor was made at a Demon Altar.
