Root Set

A complete Root armor set.

The Root Set is a Swamp-tier armor. This set is the tier above Bronze Armor and should be considered a "light armor" compared to Iron Armor as its armor values are lower while having less movement speed penalty. Instead, providing a unique set bonus, increasing the Bow skill when the entire set is worn. (See: Improved archery)

The 50% poison resistance from the mask makes this armor very useful not only in the Swamp (vs Leeches, Blobs and Oozers), but also in further biomes such as Plains (vs Growths). Furthermore, the harnesk can be useful against pierce-damaging enemies from Swamps (vs Skeleton and Draugr archers), Plains (vs Spear Fulings and Deathsquitos) and Mistlands (vs Seekers, Ticks and Seeker Soldiers). However, barley wine is strongly encouraged to counter the fire weakness received from any piece of the armor, more specifically in Plains (vs Fuling Shamans) and Mistlands (vs Gjalls).
