Shadowforged are currently the rarest/strongest armors, overtaking Dragonforged Armor on February 25th, 2016. Shadowforged armors, unlike Dragonforged, can be crafted (that is, until December 15th, 2016, when Dragonforged became craftable in Heroic Mode on the NA/Global Servers). To craft a Shadowforged armor, you must collect 12 of each of their respective crafting materials (or, in the case of Seasonal armors, 10). In addition, after upgrading your armor to level 35 (and collecting 12/10 more of the same crafting materials), you can craft the Plus version of the same armor.
Starting on August 11th, 2016, a "Seasons" system was introduced on the Global/North American Servers that is similar to the EU Servers' seasons system. On the EU Servers, players can craft Dragonforged armors after collecting 10 materials, however for the Global Servers, it is Shadowforged instead. Please see the second tab below for further details.
Shadowforged armors, like Epic armors, max at level 99. However, they differ from their predecessors in that they have "Ascension" levels. Ascension can be achieved after reaching level 99. Ascension upgrades the abilities of the armor, massively increasing the stats. Ascension requires silver coins, and there are a total of 10 Ascension levels. The amount of Silver Coins differs per level. The cost of every Ascension level, per level, not cumulative, is 1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4,5, and 6, adding up to 32 Silver Coins total.
Ascension also increases the attack and defense stats for the armor. The amount of stat points (attack and defense) differ based on the armor; some it's 46/44 additional for each Ascension level for the Regular version and 53/50 additional for the Plus version, but others have higher and lower levels. Also, the Special Ability percentage increases, from 8% at the base to 15% at the maximum of 10 Ascension levels. Furthermore, the newest "Eternal" armors have different Ascension level increases as well. See Agni's Eternal and Aeolian Eternal for examples.

Seasons Armors
Seasons armors require 10 of a given material to be able to craft. They are as follows:
- Season 1: Dragon Coins
- Season 2: Magic Horns
- Season 3: Shade Essences
- Season 4: Beast Shanks
- Season 5: Icedrop Drakeberrys / Lucid Dreamstones
- Season 6: Frozen Mistcharms / Boreal Orbs / Ultima Shards
Reportedly, you can still collect materials for the earlier Seasons after the next Season starts.
NOTE: The Ascension attack/defense stat increases for the new Seasons armors are different than they are for most of the rest of the previous Shadowforged, some are higher, some are lower.
