Each of these new ESO armor sets provides bonuses unique from other sets in the game, andsome are becoming fan-favoritesthanks to their powerful full-set bonuses. Though getting Overworld sets is easy enough, being able to craft the three new Craftable sets requires a fair bit of time invested in Crafting skills. Getting the Perfected versions of Dreadsail Reef sets is no small task, though.
Overworld High Isle Armor Sets
An Overworld set is one that can only be found by completing a variety of PvE objectives. In theHigh IsleChapter, pieces to three Overworld sets can be acquired from World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, and Volcanic Vents throughout the High Isle and Amenos zone. These are theBlessing of High Isle,Steadfast’s Mettle, andSystres' Scowlsets.
They can also be found in reward coffers forHigh IsleDailies, and several quests in the main storyline give weapons and armor from these sets too. To maximize your chances of getting the pieces you want from these sets, complete all threeHigh IsleDailies each day and take on these other Bosses and Volcanic Vents along the way.
