Bracers
Decreases damage of mid-low attacks (below head height) by 30%
Greaves
Decreases damage of mid-low attacks (below head height) by 20%
Boots of Haste
Increases the speed of your character by 1. This can make your progress accross the level quicker. It also make forward moving attacks move forward further, getting enemies in range more easily. Also makes chasing after horses a little bit easier.
One handy tip is that with Boots of Haste, Prince Aldon's 'Shield Retreat Swipe' matches the speed of a horse, making them easy to kill.
Mithril Vest
Blocks all incoming arrows. While arrows themselves don't do much damage, they can become a real pain if they are being fired at you while you are in combat with someone else. The mithril vest takes away this hastle.
Amulet of Elevation
Increases your jump height, while not massively useful, jumping does make it harder for people to hit you, so it can be used to escape danger, also having a higher jump means you can jump over arrows and gain much more distance on an archer while in the air.
