Contamination set issue...

[DeStroYeR]

When I equip the whole set, it automatically unequips and gets a level 19 requirement for some reason.

Why? I just got off the boat so I'm level 1 or 2.

How on earth do you have the full set at level 1-2?

[DeStroYeR]

Uh, some mod? Lemme try and find the link for you.

Not sure if it's because I got both the Relics of Riv whatever and that mod at the same time.

Do you have the constitution to equip it?
Well yes, unique armor sets have a fixed level once equipped, in order to make them not so bad.
Can't have a set containing of level 3 and 4 armor pieces, when the last one you find is level 19-20. It would make the whole set useless.

Looks like it. Equipment says Constitution 13, you have 12.

Edit: Thanks for providing a screenshot. Makes things easier. If you can't equip it after raising your Con this might be a bug as armor shouldn't have a "minimum level to equip". Only minimum stats.

Obviously it'll be a little overpowered to use an armor that high level that early on. However, as a natural part of the game, that set as well as the Devourer set level up instantly to level 19 when you acquire the entire set so its usable for end game since you naturally find pieces throughout the game at lower levels.

[Yojo0o]

Yeah, seems like it's the constitution requirement. The set levels up when you complete it by design, but armor level shouldn't be a requirement, just an expression of the power level it's at.

[DeStroYeR]

Maybe it's like that to prevent you from using a complete set during early-game.

I mean, without mods having a whole set isn't possible early game aside from the Captian's set you're meant to find in the first act. The rest can't be found until later. So this ordinarily isn't an issue. Thing is, equipment requirements are incredibly low in this game. You can have the stats needed for end game gear pretty much from level one.

The helmet has a chance to mind control you when you put it on. With 1 character, maybe the game is kicking back because youd possibly put yourself in a game over loop if your character was mind controlled.

Also equipping the whole set for many of tehse armor sets inherintly takes the ilevel to a new base ilevel. So that is a typical feature of the armor sets.
