📋 About This Mod
Patch #7/HF 29 Compatible.
"I'm quite shocking, aren't I?"
Where Can I get them?
You can get them from the Tutorial Chest.
What does the gear do?
This gear and spells of this equipment scale with your character up to Level 20.
Check Images, because they do far too much to list here.
What is the difference between Rare and Legendary?
With Rare all the Spells, Gear Abilities, and Effects are balanced for gameplay so that strong abilities are only usable a number of times per Combat.
Effects not visible via tooltip or images include:
Ring of Explosions: Immunity to "Shocked"
Boots: Immunity to Electrified Water.
With Legendary all the Spells, Gear Abilities, and Effects are unlocked so you can trigger them or cast them as much as you'd like. Legendary also includes quite a few more bonuses that aren't included in the Rare Version. Some Legendary effects that aren't visible by the item's tooltip include:
Cape: Protection from Opportunity Attack
Boots: You gain the "Grounded" attribute, meaning you can't be pushed around.
Installation:
Installation via BG3 Mod Manager like you would with any BG3 mod.
Only install ONE of the two versions, and go to (C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3\Mods) and delete any duplicate LightningSet.pak files you have there. If there's more than one you will have issues as they will try to overwrite each other.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community approved with 657 endorsements
- Recent update (Jan 2025) shows active maintenance
- Scaling gear means you can use it for a long stretch without swapping
⚠️ Cons
- Only scales to level 20, so endgame players will outgrow it
- Limited to lightning theme—if you're not building around that, it's a pass
For players who love lightning-themed builds and want a cohesive gear set that carries them through the early game. If you're a completionist collecting themed gear, this is a nice addition. Skip if you're past level 20 or prefer generic gear that fits any build.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check if your game version is compatible with the mod's last update (Jan 2025) before installing.
- Since it's a gear set, look for it in your inventory or crafting menu after installation—some mods add items directly, others require crafting.
- If you're using a mod manager, use its preview feature to see the gear before installing to ensure it fits your aesthetic.
