Does armor rank increase with player rank?

[proper bone]

Hello! I want to buy a donation set of ninja at the beginning of the game and a question arose. Will the armor rank grow with my level or does it make sense to take the armor only at the maximum rank?

[fresh ocean]

armor never scales with the player

It turns out that at the beginning of the game there is no point in taking this armor and only waiting until I reach the maximum rank

[fresh ocean]

yeah that could work

This seems quite pointless) That armor bonuses that could be useful at the beginning of the game you are forced to use only at the end due to the lack of armor growth

[fresh ocean]

it is :/ but outside of that you can't really do anything with it

Wrong answer.
All the latest Gear Sets (for like the last 2 years) have a scaled Armor setting. Scaled means it's bound to your Player Level.
Example:
Item("Outfitset_Ninja_Torso", CategoryType_OutfitPart)

    OutfitArmor(1);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(1, 1);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(2, 2);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(3, 3);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(4, 4);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(5, 5);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(6, 6);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(7, 7);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(8, 8);
    ScaledOutfitArmor(9, 9);

When you're LVL 1, your armor is 1. And when you're LVL 9 your armor is 9.

Do they? I'll check it out

So if I take a ninja set at level 1, and later raise the level to, say, 5, then the ninja armor will grow with me?

Yes,exactly.
There is also an autoscaling on weapons when there is no number in top left corner.

Weapons and gear from bundles, pilgrim outpost or events are lvl scaled

I had to check the theories with cheats and it turned out that the armor increases

[fresh ocean]

yeah they do, tho the affixes don't that is the sad part
