After stowing away on the Crimson Robbers' ship, track down and follow Gerad in South Figaro.
The Opal Armor is second to none in terms of Absorb for your KNIGHT. A nice upgrade over the Ice and Flame Armors, the Opal Armor also grants resistance to Lightning, which can come in handy in the Sunken Shrine when you run into NAGAS. If you want to give your KNIGHT resistance to Fire or Cold, have him use the Ice or Flame Shield, because the Opal Armor is a bigger upgrade than the Opal Shield.

As heavy Armor, the Diamond Armor is somewhat underwhelming. Offering only 3 more defense than the Black Garb at the cost of as much as 57 points of evasion, it's really hard to justify using it in favor of that Armor. The Lightning defense is occasionally useful, but there are other ways to get it.
