On Pirate Island, players can acquire the region's signature armor: the Blue Pirate Armor and Dark Blue Pirate Armor. Both sets consist of four pieces—Bandana, Leather Armor, Gloves, and Boots—can be worn by all classes, and have a safe enchant limit of +4 across all pieces.

The Blue Pirate Armor is the base set obtained through quests and hunting, while the Dark Blue Pirate Armor is an upgraded set crafted using the base pieces as materials. Although crafting it requires a heavy investment, a full +4 set provides 38 Defense, making it an intriguing new gearing option. Here is a breakdown of how to obtain each piece, their stats, and the required crafting materials.

The Blue Pirate Bandana can be obtained by completing a quest offered by Ludian in town. However, keep in mind that you must complete the prerequisite quest given by Doyle first.

The Gloves can be obtained by hunting Blue Tails and Kiwi Parrots at the harbor, while the Boots drop from Wild series boar monsters. The hardest piece to acquire is the Leather Armor. Since it only drops from the mini-boss Mambo Rabbit, it is quite difficult to come by.

The base Defense of the Blue Pirate Armor is 2 for the Bandana, 5 for the Leather Armor, 1 for the Gloves, and 2 for the Boots, totaling 10. Enhancing all four pieces to +4 increases Defense by 16 to reach 26, and the 4-piece set bonus adds INT +1, Defense +1, and Max HP +10.

However, considering that the set includes a boss drop item, its stats are somewhat underwhelming. Rather than stopping at the Blue Pirate Set, upgrading it to the Dark Blue Pirate Set is recommended.

Dark Blue Pirate Armor can be crafted by bringing Blue Pirate Armor and materials to Baran, the Equipment Artisan on Pirate Island. The required materials are the same regardless of the slot, but the Blue Pirate gear piece must be enhanced to +4.

To craft all four pieces, in addition to the base gear, you will need 40 Black Blood, 40 Mermaid Scales, and 4 each of High-Grade Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire.

As difficult as it is to craft, its performance is guaranteed. The base Defense is 3 for the Bandana, 7 for the Leather Armor, 2 for the Gloves, and 3 for the Boots—1 to 2 higher per piece than the Blue Pirate Set. Wearing all four pieces adds an extra 7 Defense. Since the safe enchant limit is also +4, combining all enhancement bonuses and set effects brings total Defense to 38.

The popular budget setup—combining Elven Chain Mail, Red Knight Hood, Steel Gloves, and Steel Boots—provides 31 Defense at +4. Comparing +4 sets directly, the Dark Blue Pirate Set outperforms it by 7 Defense, a substantial gap.

Of course, direct comparison is somewhat limited given the vast price difference between the two setups. However, if the supply of Blue Pirate Leather Armor increases in the future, the Dark Blue Pirate Set could potentially displace the Steel Set as a major new gear option.
