Other than the members of the ARES Guild, Faunia, Ragas, and Clara had their own set of armor and weapon. However, Ragas and Faunia declined to use the armor because it would be just a hindrance to their combat ability. Besides… They have a way stronger armor than what Blacksmith Prodel and Pedro's slaves have crafted.
As for Clara, she simply hid the sword that Pedro made to the inventory bag that is on the right side of her waist—similar to everyone else. Of course, Clara used <Estan> as her main sword and was the one attached to the left side of her waist.
As for everyone else, it took them an hour to adjust themselves to the changes brought by the heavy armor. Well… All of them, including Clara, kept the helm to their inventory bag since they were not on a battle nor were they on a simple spar.
