The first Armlet you encounter is the Copper Armlet, sold in Elfheim. Objectively, 4 Defense for 1,000 gil on what acts as a body Armor piece seems pretty bad. However, Armlets are pretty much the only Armor Black and White Mages can wear. You want your Mages as well-protected as possible, but you can certainly put off this purchase for a while and buy something a little more immediately useful. You will also find one in the Marsh Cave.

Copper Cuirass

The Copper Cuirass is the first in a line of body Armors made for mages. They're cheaper than the equivalent normal Armor, and have less of an evasion and magic penalty, yet have the same defense score. Because of this, you probably want to give your main fighters Cuirasses. Don't pass these up before heading to Salamand.
