What does AF mean?

Seen a couple posts about AF armor but what does it mean? Is it like epic armor in daoc/eq?

AF stands for Artifact Armor. Each job has it's own AF. There are six pieces to each AF: a weapon, hat, armor, gloves, leggings, and shoes. To obtain each piece, you usually have to do some really really difficult quest for it. AF is the best equipment in the game so far (aside from the AF weapons) for any job, although some JSE (job specific equipment) are better.
