you cant improve the armor rating of your armor you can only add runes which u buy from the rune trader.

I'm waiting for the ability to do that as well.

Storm of Daeth, so you know what we are talking about, this is straight from ArenaNet on the Guild Wars Update page...

ARMOR CHANGES

New armor designs from Cantha have begun to influence armor crafters in Tyria. Existing armor sets will not be updated yet, but a means to upgrade existing level-20 armor for free will be provided in the near future.

Elementalist:

Aeromancer's armor: now provides +10 armor vs. elemental damage and +10 armor vs. lightning damage.
Pyromancer's armor: now provides +10 armor vs. elemental damage and +10 armor vs. fire damage.
Hydromancer's armor: now provides +10 armor vs. elemental damage and +10 armor vs. water damage.
Geomancer's armor: now provides +10 armor vs. elemental damage and +10 armor vs. earth damage.
Mesmer:

Rogue's armor: no longer provides less Energy than standard armor.
Monk:

Judge's armor: no longer provides less Energy than standard armor.
Wanderer's armor: now provides +10 armor vs. elemental damage.
Warrior:

Knight's armor: now provides +20 armor vs. physical damage (instead of +10).
Knight's Helm: fixed so that it now provides +1 to Strength.
Dragon armor: now provides 90 base armor +10 armor vs. physical damage.
Platemail armor: same as Dragon.
Obsidian Armor:

The word "obsidian" has been added to armor names, in accordance with the naming convention introduced in Guild Wars Factions. For example, the Monk leggings that provide additional armor against physical damage are now called "Judge's Obsidian Pants" instead of "Judge's Pants." (This change does not affect armor crafted prior to this update.)
Now includes new armor sets using the same statistics as armor only available in Cantha.
No longer includes multiple armor sets with the exact same appearance and attributes.
The ability to upgrade/fix your armor has not been added yet to my knowledge. I have to assume it will be as soon as they have a way to do it. And when the time comes, we will be notified at guildwars.com on how and where to do it.

Ya I know. I have to keep rolling PvP warriors for PvP and GvG battles cause I'm not willing to pay for new armor. :P
