Root Set

The Root Set is the light set of the Swamp, made from Root and Ancient Bark at a Workbench. It is the only armour in the game that changes which damage types hurt you.

The mask halves poison and the harnesk halves pierce. That is why it belongs in the Swamp, where almost everything poisons you. The pierce resistance keeps paying off much later too, against Deathsquitos in the Plains and Seekers in the Mistlands.

In exchange, every piece is weak to fire, so carry Fire Resistance Barley Wine anywhere that burns. Next to Iron Armor it gives up 18 armour but takes back 6% of the movement penalty, and wearing all 3 pieces adds 15 levels of Bows.

How to Craft

Every piece is crafted at a level 2 Workbench from:

30x Root: dropped by Abominations in the Swamp.
30x Ancient Bark: chopped from Ancient Trees in the Swamp.
4x Leather Scraps: dropped by Boars and Bats, and dug out of Muddy Scrap Piles.
4x Deer Hide: dropped by Deer.
