What are the different tiers of armor?

Question

I've been noticing as I progress through the game that I see different tiers of armor. For instance, in the Might tree, I used to run into Azurite armor often, then later Sylvanite, and now I'm starting to run into Prismere. I've been holding off on crafting anything until I reach the highest tier of armor and weapons.

What are the tiers of armor for each class type?

Answer

The base materials each come in 5 tiers. For armor, the materials are:

"Cloth" armor (many Sorcery items come from this tree):

• Cotton
• Linen
• Silk
• Hexweave
• Spiritweave

"Metal" armor (many Might items come from this tree):

• Iron
• Steel
• Azurite
• Sylvanite
• Prismere

"Leather" or "Hide" armor (many Finesse items come from this tree):

• Leather
• Boiled Leather
• Studded Leather
• Trollhide
• Dreadscale

There are also Wood components and Precious Metal components, which are used in armor for Finesse Bucklers and Sorcery Sigils, respectively. Raven's provided a list in his answer that I won't duplicate here. :)

You'll notice some overlap in weapon components as well - for instance, Chakrams quality levels come from the "Metal" tree, although they're Sorcery weapons. Within each type, there's also varying quality.

Primary components that you salvage will always be the same tier, but their statistics may not correspond with the quality of the original item. For instance, you might disassemble a "Leather" set of bracers that had 10 defense, but get a 12 or 15 defense component from it.
