📋 About This Mod
After playing for a while i noticed that, despite the developers and the game encouraging it, most full armor sets are simply not worth picking over wearing the best pieces of armor available from different armor sets.
This mod aims to improve ALL of the full armor sets bonuses. Values for tier 1-5 armors have been increased, i won't specify them, just know that they are better and will overall improve your gaming experience.
Vanilla values for tier 6 full sets of armors have been massively buffed.
Tier 6 full sets of armors now gain unique abilities!
The Descriptions have been added! Supported language: English

Some armor sets might receive further changes if i'm not happy with their bonuses or upon request, i did my best to make every single one unique.
