The new The Elder Scrolls (ESO) DLC Necrom added two new regions, several new quests, two companions, and more importantly, new armor sets. There are 13 new item sets that include several armor pieces, weapons, and jewelry.
There are four types of sets in ESO: Overland, Crafted, Trial, and Mythic items. Sets can feature Heavy, Medium, and Light armor, jewelry, and weapons like swords, maces, battleaxes, mauls, destruction and restoration staffs, and bows.
All sets can be found in the Telvanni Peninsula or in Sanity’s Edge. The Necrom chapter added three item sets of Overland, Crafted, and Mythic items, and four Trial sets.
Once you equip an armor set piece, you’ll receive a bonus, and you can get more bonuses the more pieces you equip from the same set. Bonuses start from two pieces and accumulate as you get to five parts of the set equipped at the same time. Weapons won’t count as part of the armor set bonus.
