Finally, here is the update to the article on Guardian Set. Update 1.3 changed the stats of the Guardian Set items, so here is the updated information, with updated screenshots.

The Guardian Set consists of four items. The Sword of Guardian is looted by beating Farjegnon's raid.

Sword of Guardian

The Wings of Guardian comes from YA 86's raid.

The Guardian set is a balance of all the bonuses, with extra MP Regen and Skill Pow. This makes it a skill-spammer's set, suitable for characters who rely on using skills a lot.

I have two complete Guardian's set (obtained while trying to complete Genzir's and other raid bosses' sets). The first set is equipped on Boorseye.

I have a sword and axes despite being an archer.

The main drawbacks of the Guardian set are the average Att and Def. Booreye's last two equips are selected to cover those weaknesses. I selected the Enchanced Double Axe for the additional Att, Def and the Stun bonus - the extra Stun is useful when combined with Boorseye's arrow-spamming skills. The Soul of Anuvis the White gives additional Att and Def too, in addition to minor boosts to Evade, Critcal and Skill Pow.

The second set is equipped on Botherella. The new AI for Botherella in update 1.3 has her summoning Wolfgang even when the pooch is still alive. This is a serious drain to her MP. The high MP Regen from the Guardian set will keep Botherella going for a few minutes of active combat.

I wear two hats in addition to my white crown.

Botherella needs Jack Blin's Shield (red) to cover the low Def. I equipped the Real Pirate Hat (red) so she can use her Curse skill more often to support her teammates, in addition to having a higher Skill Pow for her Thornbush. The Cow Warden's Staff may look like a good substitute for the Real Pirate Hat, but the former has less bonuses to Skill CoolTime and Skill Pow, the two stats that matter more. However, the latter does have a higher bonus to MP.
