The Bronze armour is a recurring set of armour in the Dragon Quest series that first appeared in Dragon Quest IV. It is a low to mid-level piece of equipment and offers a decent amount of protection compared to early game pieces of armour. Typically, it can only be equipped by physically stronger characters.
