Armor sets (Enderal) (2024)

In Enderal, there are sixteen armor sets, which unlike any other piece of armor and combination, have a set bonus which has more effects as more items of the same set are equipped. Most of these sets can only be acquired by exploring the world. The most powerful sets can only be found by finding the blueprints and then using the handicraft skill to produce them, which requires a level of 75 or 80 in the skill.

The set bonuses depend on the amount of items equipped, not a specific item. The first set bonus in unlocked when two pieces are equipped, the second is unlocked with three pieces and so it goes on.
