This guide will show you what the Trickster’s set looks like, what Unique Effects it provides, and how to get it in Avowed!

How Armor and Clothing work in Avowed

Armor sets in Avowed are comprised of 3 pieces called the Armor and Clothing (Hands and Feet). Armor and Clothing occupy different slots and have vastly different impacts on combat. Some sets also have a Ring or Trinket associated with them.

Each piece of Unique gear, whether it be the Armor or Clothing, comes with 2 perks comes. Some armor pieces are part of a set by sharing the same name, and while the effect sets tend to synergize with each other and a specific build, there are no set bonuses.

You can find outfit pieces as loot from chests and corpses, purchase them from Merchants, or receive them as mission rewards. The sets as a whole are always located in the same region.

You can replace the visual appearance of any outfit item with another one. This feature is commonly known as transmog, though this game doesn’t allow you any specific modifications beyond the simple swap of one item’s appearance with another.

Armor

Armor is the primary piece of gear and the only one that’s upgradeable. It has defensive stats and weight class restrictions and cosmetically changes the appearance of the Envoy’s chest, arms, and legs.

Armor weight is classified as light, medium, or heavy, and this classification determines the Damage Reduction % along with the maximum Stamina and Essence penalties.

In reality, there are 8 different stat variations based on the weight and protection afforded by distinct types of real armor. There are a couple of mismatches, but terms in parentheses below are representative of the associated stats.

For example, Gambeson always refers to Light Armor with 8% Damage Reduction and -15 Stamina /-20 Essence.

Weight ClassificationDamage ReductionStamina PenaltyEssence Penalty
Light (Robe)5%-20-10
Light (Gambeson)8%-15-20
Light (Cuirass)10%-20-20
Medium (Scale)15%-25-35
Medium (Breastplate)18%-35-30
Medium (Mail)20%-35-35
Heavy (Brigandine)25%-45-45
Heavy (Plate)30%-50-50

As you can see, the lower the Damage Reduction %, the lower the maximum Stamina and Essence penalties.

These stats remain constant regardless of upgrade tier, but upgrading Armor is still important, but doing so only increases the additional flat damage reduction, not the percentage or penalties.

You’ll also take more damage and deal less against enemies depending on the difference in Quality tier, reaching +/-35% damage taken/dealt when there is a difference of 4 Quality tiers, ex. Fine (blue) +2 weapon vs Exceptional (purple) +3 armor.

Clothing

Clothing consists of handware and footwear. They have no defensive stats or weight class associated with them and take the form of things like gloves, bracers, and shoes to alter the cosmetic appearance of your hands and feet. Unlike Armor, Clothing is not upgradeable.

Where to find Trickster’s set

You can obtain the Trickster’s set from 3 separate locations across Shatterscarp.

Trickster’s Armor Location

You can purchase the Trickster’s Cuirass from the bartender at The Dead Swordfish in Thirdborn, Shatterscarp.

Trickster’s Gloves Location

You can loot the Trickster’s Gloves from a sarcophagus along with Wael’s Sapphire Eye at the bottom of the Sand Sea Oasis in the Great Sand Sea of Shatterscarp.

Trickster’s Boots Location

You can loot the Trickster’s Boots from a chest behind a destructible wall buried under an illusion at the southern edge of the Abandoned Mine on the border between the Ancient Lakebed and the Great Sand Sea in Shatterscarp.

You’ll need to climb up to the top level of the mine and head south, opposite where Ruanga (from “One Last Drink”) is, close to the Starmetal piece.
