As of March 2021, this post will no longer be updated. For the current list, please see the Set Bonus page.

Swapping
When a set bonus is achieved by equipping a weapon, shield, orb, or anything held in (not worn on) the hand, the hand-held item is "locked in" for that mode of combat. Therefore:
  • If you equip a hand-held item in a melee slot to fulfill a set bonus you must keep that specific hand-held item equipped when engaging in melee combat.
  • If you equip a hand-held item in a ranged slot to fulfill a set bonus you must keep that specific hand-held item equipped when engaging in physical ranged combat.
You may temporarily swap one or both hand-held set-piece items (either melee for ranged or ranged for melee) and maintain the set's bonus. However, the bonuses granted by the individual "lost" item(s) won't apply. E.g., a ranger using Scepter, Orb, and Boots of Might to gain a level may swap out the Scepter and Orb to use a ranged weapon, but may not use any other melee weapons. During the swap-out, the ranger loses the +2 Strength bonus granted by the Orb of Might, but maintains the +1 level granted by the Might set.

Stacking
Assuming all the required pieces can be equipped simultaneously, characters may benefit from more than one set bonus—either from different sets or within the same subset. E.g., a character enjoying the Might Quintet bonus also gains the Trio & Quartet bonuses.

Uniqueness
To qualify for a set bonus, the set's quota must be filled with unique items if the items are Ultra Rare or lower in rarity. E.g., a ranger may wield two +2 Viper Strike Fangs, but they only count as one when it comes to qualifying for the Viper Strike set bonus. However, if both of the same-named set weapons are either Relics (★) or Legendaries, they count as two items toward the set's quota. E.g., wielding two +3 Viper Strike Fangs would count as two items toward the Viper Strike set bonus.

The Arcane Set (2020): When all three items are equipped, the first 0–2nd-level spell the wearer casts is not marked off their character card. This ability may be used once per game--not once per spell, not once per spell level.
Each Arcane item is usable by every class
  • Arcane Belt
  • Arcane Bracers
  • Arcane Earcuff

The Cabal Set (2013): When all three items are worn, gain the ability to cast two spells from your character card in one round. Either or both spells may be modified because neither is "cast as a scroll".

3-piece+1+6+2
4-piece+1+8+3
5-piece+1+10+4
*+Level effects never stack
**Only affects cast healing spells (see "Healing Bonus Note" note below), not special powers, scrolls, wands, etc. A "special power" is not a "spell". Rule of thumb: if it's not printed on the character card under a section titled "Spells", it's not a spell.
Healing Bonus Note: This bonus is for spells cast by the healer, not spells cast on the healer--unless the healer and the target are the same person (self-healing.)
Multi-Target Note: Multi-target attacks/heals get a pool of bonus damage/healing which may be allocated among the eligible recipients as the attacker/caster sees fit. It does not grant the full bonus to each target.

Re: Complete List of Set Bonuses 14 years 7 months ago #2

I think I can authoritatively say no other complete sets exist.  I also think it's safe to say that the Rogue can't use any set in existence. <br /><br />It was definitely hinted that the Crown of Might was to be part of an "of Might" set.  There was also talk of adding more pieces to the Mithral set, with details as yet sketchy.  <br />In theory, other sets could be made with existing items as pieces:  "of the Underdark", Troll Hide, or Dragonhide items could certainly become parts of a set if more items were added, along with some "set bonus".<br /><br />As for the existing Mithral set, we definitely need a set bonus clarification from the top. <br />

Yes, the might set is to be Crown, Orb, and Sceptre.  This one will also have a negative effect for the set.

<br />The Mithral Set*:<br />

  • Mithral Cap
  • <br />
  • Mithral Chainmail
  • <br />
  • +1 Mithral Long Sword
<br /><br />I'm not sure about Mithral. I've read conflicting stories. Some say +2 to hit (with the Long Sword) vs. undead. Others say half damage from breath weapons. And it also looks like there may be a five-item set in the future.<br />

<br /><br />So far the three mentioned are it, the Mithral set is half damage from breath weapons.  There will likely be others in the future, but nothing has been decided and will not be for GC 2009.<br /><br />Dave<br />

Yes, the might set is to be Crown, Orb, and Sceptre.

<br /><br />I was only able to find the Crown of Might (2009). Are the Orb and Scepter yet to be created/released?

Is the Mithral set 1/2 damage from BW or Immune from BW? The spreadsheet, though not official, has it as Immune.

Dave said 1/2 damage a couple of posts up; we can take that as truth.

The wizard can't use any set either, since can't use helmet or swords.  However, I'm not complaining, since wizards have almost all the wands for themselves.

How about the various darkwood items?<br />Is there to be a set of them?

Not that I am aware, most are weapons, so having a set would not be beneficial.
