Clothing saw major changes in the V 1.0 update. This page is dedicated to the new armor mechanics.
There are currently 16 armor sets in the game with 15 providing a set bonus.
All percentage damage bonuses from armor is additive (not multiplicative) with percentage bonuses from Perks. For example, +50% damage bonus to clubs and +50% damage bonus to melee weapons would result in +100% bonus damage to clubs, not +125%.
Set bonus[]
Every set provides an unique bonus to a player who wears all the pieces of the armor set. The bonus can be seen under the status effects in the right corner of the character menu. The strength of the bonus is depending on the quality of the lowest quality piece of the currently worn set.
