Upgrades question

[Knavery]

I know armor works a little differently in this game. If you choose to upgrade your armor, do you need to upgrade each one like weapons or do the upgrades carry over? I thought I read somewhere that the latter was true. I've only got one available and that's the one I'm wearing, and I'm a pretty good ways into the story. I'm a strength build and have upgraded the Labrys to +10 so far and it's served me good. However, I'm finding I'm not using the shield as much as I should, so may switch to a 2-hander like Justice.

What have some of you done? Thanks.

You only have one armor set the entire time. What you find is more or less just a cosmetic change to your armor. There is no function in the game for different armor-sets.

Well that's weird. Even when the Smith says you have crappy armor and he needs to provide better armor for you? The stats don't change? You sure about that?

When you upgrade your armour it carries over to the next set in game.. ie if you get it +5 +7 etc your next set of armour will carry over the +5+7 etc .. I`m actually restarted on hero mode I assume some defence etc would be better on the next armours.
But the new armours you will get regardless threw game so I assume better stats the quicker you get em.

Like KillerAtWar said, it carries over. What I meant by just a cosmetic change is that you don't switch Armor and there is only one ingame - meaning you upgrade it, but don't got multiple to choose from..
Sorry if I didn't made it more clear what I meant...
