is warhorse armor op?

[Hebereke]

Just started the game and got the chest from the first ancient map.
Doing a little research seems like the helm is the best one in the game, and the other armor pieces I got in this chest are also way better than what I had.
I don't want to make the game too easy, so I'd like to know if I'm ruining my experience using this armor

Where did you find it? I can,t find it

The Warhorse set may have the highest stats but that doesn't make you invincible. That only happens later in the game when Henry is at a certain level, overall, weapons, combat. If you invest enough time to increase skills it will become very easy to win fights. You can always go for less or no armor which makes you very fragile during fights, with anyone.

Start from Rattay's eastern exit, then follow the path all the way to the east until you need to cross a river. Cross it, go north until you see a camp, then go into the forests to the east. You will see a burnt out camp, there's a chest, but that's not the one (still has nice loot). Keep going east and you'll find a buried chest.
Remember to bring a shovel with you.

If you need a pic I'll post it

They do not have the best stats; even after self-repair.
I have other freely found armor items that are all way better.

And when you find any armor items, what will help is a self-repair of them.
You can do this by having 1 of each repair kit on you.
Then to get them damaged without allowing Bandits/Cumans to beat up on you; go find Milan in Rattay area and agree to fist-fight him. Allow him to beat on you a bit in order to very slightly damage your armor/clothing items. Then beat his azz and leave there and repair your stuff. Or do some training with Bernard.

The Warhorse set pieces are not the best but fairly good mainly in the early game.
You won't ruin your experience by using them. And you'll replace them with better ones eventually.
BUT if you don't have enough money for repairs, pieces of this set can be repaired for a nice price of one groshen.

You've found that in a chest buried somewhere using a map, patience and observation. You earned it! So why not use it. It's not like you bought it in ingame shop for credit card money...

Isn't the WH armour part of the treasures of the past DLC? Yes it is. May explain why some cannot find it. https://kingdom-come-deliverance.fandom.com/wiki/Warhorse_armour

Also, agree with OP, just finding it makes it feel like cheese instead of everything else in the game being experienced and earned the hard way. So I never put it on, but I'm a hoarder, so never sold it either, LOL...

I also never liked the looks of it, but that's subjective.

You're right about everything.
KCD can be cheesed in many ways but this I don't mind. Depends on personal approach I guess.

The most OP thing about it is the cost, it costs like 1 coin, so repairing it at shops is nearly free of charge.

Thanks lads, appreciate it :).
On my way to the second chest I found some guards fighting platemail bandits. They ignored the guards and ran towards me as soon as I approached but we managed to win the fight. Now I'm wearing their armor which seems better than the warhorse armor and also made some really good coin (had to walk with massive overweight but was worth it lol).

The low cost repair advantage seems really good tho

Just be careful and take a moment to ID who each of them are. Then do not in any way hit a "Guard" or "steal" anything while they are in your presence. However if Guards are fighting Bandits or Cumans and you help take down the enemies, you should get +Rep in the end, which helps. Otherwise you can just sit back and watch if you wish, and if an "enemy" is the one(s) left standing, then kill them and literally take everything.

When I fight a group like this, or take out a whole camp of Bandits / Cumans. First I kill them all off. When done and no more enemies around, I loot all from each body. Then go to one body and select loot, then switch to my Inventory items and sort by so the damaged stuff is at the top. If anything is 54 or less, I dump it back onto the dead body, which will eventually disappear. This helps as a means to rid the game of junk items. Otherwise what you can do is if there is a Chest near by (such as the case within most Camps) you can dump all the items in there after looting bodies (yes even stolen stuff from dead friendly guards) and then just take a couple of the most expensive items and go sell them off and come back for the other stuff later when you have a reason to be in that area once again, which most likely will happen if you run around the game world enough.

I myself just prefer not to waste my time with items damaged below 55% (unless it happens to be a unique item I wish to keep perhaps; like the stuff I got off the enemy leader in Band of Bastards for example)

And also remember, if you don't like how you've done your Perks either thus far, or after having leveled everything up, you can always craft and drink Lethean Water potion which will reset all your Perks within all skill trees so you can redo them again.

As there are some that made sense to unlock earlier in the game, which might add a -1 or -2 to things like Warfare or Strength; in favor of things like reading skill or charisma; but then later on after having leveled up all or most skills, you will no longer need those perks, and thus makes sense to just redo all your perks once again.

Warhorse armor overpowered maybe only on start. How to easily find the best armor and get rich at the beginning of the game? You need to return to Skalitz with a bow and arrows, attract bandits, find a place where you can jump, and the bandits will not be able to reach. Then we show the skill of shooting with a bow at standing bandits. Each time we return to Skalitz, high-level bandits will respawn.

Not exactly each time, it will need some time to pass first, then they can be in various places at various times of day.

Notice when you are uncovering your world map (move on foot or on horse-back to uncover the map since Fast Travel does not reveal it) there are plenty of places on the map where you see smoke coming from the woods. Almost all of those places is a camp used by either Bandits or Cumans.

Well, actually, there are several charcoal makers as well. They make plenty of smoke.
