Root Set
The Root Set is a Swamp-tier armor. This set is in the tier above Bronze Armor and the Troll Set. It provides less armor points, but also a lower movement speed penalty compared to the other swamp-tier armor, Iron Armor. Each piece provides weakness to fire, but individual parts give resistance to pierce (in the harnesk) and poison (in the mask). Its unique set bonus increases the wearer's Bow skill by 15 levels (see: Improved archery).
The 50% poison resistance from the mask makes this armor very useful in the Swamp, where there are many poison-inflicting enemies. Furthermore, the resistance against pierce damage is useful against enemies in the Plains and Mistlands, many of which have pierce damage attacks. However, Barley wine is strongly encouraged to counter the fire weakness received from any piece of the armor.
