Protection

Enchantment

Protection gives flat Defense on every armor piece it is on.¹ It can't be combined on one piece with Blast Protection or Fire Protection.¹

Level I is sold by the Librarian, and levels up to V come from the Enchantment Table. Level VI drops from Grand or better Experiments, appears in the Dark Auction and is sold by Tomioka; level VII is an ultra-rare drop from Supreme or better Experiments and can appear in the Darker Auction while Scorpius is mayor.¹

Unlocking Iron Ingot collection III makes applying it 25% cheaper in experience.¹
