A legendary piece of armor in the Diablo world.

It was first seen as a quest reward in Diablo.

It was reintroduced with the expansion pack to Diablo II, Lord of Desctuction.

The armor's statistics were changed in the 1.09 patch.

Diablo II LoD v. 1.09

Valors found before the 1.09 patch, however, retain their original bonuses. This makes 1.08 Arkaine's Valor, along with Windforce, one of the most coveted items in the game: they have been sold for over $500 on ebay.
