			Two things: The armor skills, and the slots.
The armor skills are mediocre at best: High grade earplug, handiwork +15 (Tri's artisan), and I forget the other (Shows how memorable it was!)
I thought that the increase in sharpness would be great, but when I made the armor, I found that it also has -10 sharpness. Not the artisan type of sharpness, but the kind that makes my blade twice as likely to go down a sharpness level, which pretty much counteracts the handiwork skill.
Second, the armor has ONE gem slot! One! My Lagi armor has like 9. I am able to get 5 full armor skills from it: +10 Fire Res, Sharpness +10 (Double the amount of hits it takes to go down a sharpness level), Olympic Swimmer, Sneak, and Grinder. The only negative to the armor is -10 status, which means poison, paralyze, and sleep are less effective when I use them against monsters.
So ya, Lagi armor >>>> Helios.
