Armor Sets ‣ Black Root Set
"... Black roots."
The Black Root Set is the 13th and final armor set, and is the counterpart to the White Wood Set. Its pieces reduce Vitality and Armor in exchange for very high Dexterity. In fact, every piece of the Black Root set greatly increases Dexterity, a stat only found in significant amounts on the Warden Set and the Kin Cape. The set is ideal for Weapon Crit-focused classes like Assassin, Barbarian, Dragon Lancer, Duelist, Knight, Ranger and Ronin. As a glass cannon set, it pairs well with the Warden Set for additional Dexterity and Random Weapon Crit Chance, as well as the Leather Set for classes stacking relics below 100 Resolve.
The Black Root Weapon provides the highest Strength value of any piece. The weapon, as well as the Black Root Helm and Chest are also the only pieces of their kind to increase Dexterity. In addition, the Black Root Cape is the only cape that increases Intelligence and Dexterity.
Uniquely, the Black Root Set's Level 100 Unity Bonus has powerful synergy with the White Wood Set only possible at Equipment Level +9. By wearing 2 pieces of Black Root and 2 pieces of White Wood, both sets' final Unity Bonuses increase your Dexterity and Focus by 20%. This is stronger than it seems as the stats themselves are increased by 20%, which are then further multiplied by Skill Crit Scaling values. This can double their effect or more depending on stat investment, effectively making you into a powerful Skill-Crit-based glass cannon using both weapons and spells.
It shares its Equipment Weight and upgrade costs with the White Wood Set as the highest in the game.
