Upgrade armour sets?

[Catsonheat]

Hey all, I’ve got some pieces of armour sets like 3/5 or 4/5 and hoping to get the full set eventually but I’ve levelled up a fair few levels beyond the 3 or 4 pieces that I have so now just normal gear is getting better than them. Is there a way to upgrade the armour sets so when you have the full set they are a bit more relevant for later levels?

I'm gonna assume you mean the latest Relic Gift Bag. The first set of items that you find on Fort Joy are scaled to lvl 7 or 8, but stay that way. The next set of armor can be all found in Act 2, think they scale up to lvl 14 or so when you get them all. you actually have to craft that particular set and I'm not certain if it gets crafted to your current level.

The last 2 sets of armor all scale up to lvl 19 or 20 when you find all the pieces. BUT those pieces are scattered throughout all the acts. There's a Steam guide with more details on those.

Additionally, another Gift Bag option gives you a vendor with the ability to lvl up gear but it's stupidly expensive and easier to find a mod that does the same thing for free.

Use the gift bag of the woman who sell gems to level up gear and armor and steal from her... i think the devs forgot (at least a few weeks ago when i was playing it) to put value on the gems so its too easy to just steal it, every level she renew her inventory so you steal again with another caracter

If you're a higher level than that set when you craft it, it caps at level 14. I tried this myself and it won't let you craft it at a higher level than the armor is allowed to be.

Ah, that answers that.

So in conclusion, getting the all items of the set will scale all pieces of the armor to a certain level

Fort Joy's Captain armor: Level 7 or 8
Driftwood's Vulture armor: Level 14
Arx's Contamination armor (you can get some pieces in earlier acts but it doesn't matter as you'd get them all in Arx anyway for that quest's plot reasons): Level 19 or Level 20
Arx's Devourer set (this is the only armor set where the pieces are scattered in all acts of the game 1 piece per act, last 2 pieces in Arx): Level 20

Does that work with uniques? Haven't been able to upgrade them with sundries.

yes, you need to use x4 items to upgrade uniques though.

Unique, X, X, X, X is teh recipe assuming X is the item needed.

Ah, just realized the problem. I still have "Unique Uniques" mod and it's not compatible apparently.
Thanks for the info though.
