Note that for all sets that the numbers in parens listed after the tier are the levels at which the gear can be equipped. Recipe levels will often vary based on slot (so a tier 3 set of armor may have one piece you can craft at 20, another at 21, and so on).
Note that imbues are being added to sets that do not have them, working backwards through the tiers, so if you see some imbue information that seems off, it may be that this guide has not caught up. Currently, this guide includes imbue changes made with GU44 and before.
This is the base chain armor set. As such, it is available for all seven armor slots in all tiers. Chest and legs can be imbued in tier 2 and beyond.
Naming will be: (quality) forged (metal name) chainmail (slotname). [Tier 8 leaves out the "forged" in the name.] Note that when resists are mentioned, the actual resist types will vary by slot.
