Befähigung

An Insignia is an upgrade applied to armor that is available for armor sets crafted in Elona and also in the PvP Equipment panel. Insignias provide bonuses to armor sets. For example, Druid's Armor for the Ranger has by default, the Radiant insignia (extra energy) in addition to its base statistics.

Prior to Guild Wars Nightfall, Insignias were inherent in certain armor sets. By separating the insignia from the armor set, the players can now have any of the insignia bonuses on any armor set they choose. This allows for the combination of any functionality with any armor art. Insignias are the prefix on a piece of armor, so you can also have a rune (suffix) on the same piece of armor. Some insignias will have different bonuses when applied to different areas of the body.
