Most often the increase per level will be fractional and so only see a change every several levels.

The High Elf is an exception from this because she has only 7 pieces of armor, she gets the boni at 4, 5, 6 and 7 collected items.Īs for the new mini-sets, which consist of 4 pieces, new boni are awarded at 3 and 4 collected pieces.Įvery single time a character levels up the Set Bonus stats will increase in tiny steps. There is also a predictable pattern regarding when you get your boni for a set of items: for most characters, in the case of 'original' set items (full sets of armor) new boni are rewarded at 3, 5, 7 and 8 collected items of the same set. This will make for good early-level strategies on how to create a build, especially when the sets' benefits, sockets and boni are there to be studied. They will drop again and again, and a player may count upon their bonuses to increase in value with level.

One of the benefits of set items is their predictability. When a player can see all the set items together and analyze the relationships they have between the individual pieces, a player can see what skills and Combat Art choices best complement the sets' benefits, and can gain significant advantages. Set items, piece by piece may seem trivial in what they offer, but when combined for the bonuses, a player may pick out, by seeing what they offer, how to put a good build together that fits specific build goals.
