Titan Quest armor, resistances, relics and charms guide
Compare equipment by damage protection and build fit, then combine compatible enhancement pieces.
Pictures for this guide
Edition covered
The original 2006 three-act campaign and its eight masteries. Images show Anniversary Edition scenes selected to represent the original regions. Dream mastery and Act IV come from Immortal Throne; Rune, Neidan and later expansion campaigns are outside this original-game reference.
Check resistance as well as armor
Armor mainly addresses physical weapon damage. Fire, cold, lightning, poison and other threats need their matching defenses; a high armor value is not a substitute for those protections.
| Stat | Protects against | Useful check |
|---|---|---|
| Armor | Physical damage | Compare the relevant equipped armor pieces |
| Fire resistance | Fire damage | Improve before a fire-heavy encounter |
| Cold resistance | Cold damage | Check when cold attacks dominate |
| Lightning resistance | Lightning damage | Do not rely on armor alone |
| Poison resistance | Poison damage over time | Allow time to recover safely |
Complete compatible relic pieces
Relic shards and monster charms can be combined with matching pieces. A completed enhancement receives a completion bonus, so inspect the resulting effect before deciding which equipment deserves it.
| Step | Action | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Collect | Keep matching shards or charm pieces | They combine with their own type |
| Inspect | Read equipment compatibility | Avoid planning an invalid attachment |
| Complete | Combine the needed pieces | Gains a completion bonus |
| Attach | Apply to an eligible item | Choose gear worth keeping |
Read attachment restrictions
Enhancements only fit specified equipment types and eligible item categories. A relic that works on a weapon cannot simply be placed on any armor slot.
Know the release before removing an enhancement
The original base-game rules do not offer the later recovery conveniences in the same way. Immortal Throne and Anniversary Edition add systems beyond this guide; do not assume a socketed component is freely reversible.
