Which DLC is best?

[OneHundredEyes7]

Getting ready to buy game and possibly all 4 DLC's in bundle rate on steam for 41.99. Seems like a great deal. Wondering if thats a good move or not from the veterans. Are all the DLC's ok? Or should I just buy 1 or 2? If so which are best? Thanks

All DLC's do not have any new enemies or areas to explore, they come with new armour and weapons which are around the same armour / damage as existing weapons.

The Aquilonian and Khitan DLCs come with placeables like statues, small jade dragon etc... but no pet skins.
The Pictish and Yamatai DLC's come with pet skins but no placeables.

It seems the DLC are based somewhat on historic cultures.
Aquilonian = Roman.
Khitan = Chinese.
Yamati = Japanese.
Pictish = I'm not sure, tribal / shamanic?

Each DLCs armour's boosts a different stat.
For the heavy armours all have heat protection except Khitan which has cold protection.
Can't remember if the medium and light armours are the same.

May be worth taking a look at videos to see which armours and weapons you like the look of.

EDIT: I completely forgot to mention building. All DLC's have building components that are the same as existing building pieces except they have different skins. They are Tier 3, requiring the same materials as tier 3 reinforced stone.

While this is completely subjective, the Aquilonian DLC is the best.

thanks for the replies

I have all of the DLC's i think they are all great. :)

Aquilonian or Khitan. The other two aren't worth it by comparison.

I own all 4 and 100% agree, the placeables makes all the difference in my opinion :)

Jewel of the West Pack obviously.
Because i'm a Roman and I like to wear my ancestor's armors!

It all comes down to what visual appeal you want. 2 of the DLC's comes with additional placeables, while 2 have pet skins, but they all add building pieces and armor/weapons. Really comes down to what you want visually.

I myself have only purchased the Pictish stuff (The Savage Frontier) because I liked the look of the armor and weapons. Beyond that I don't care about much, I run a lot of mods for building and decoration. Will likely get the Aquilonian stuff (Jewel of the West) at some point too, but doubt I'd bother with the other 2 DLC's.

Yamatay looks best in terms of samurai style armor and weapons. Katanas and naginata look super-cool.

what happens when a player with DLC's joins a server without DLC's and vice-versa ?

These 2 got the medium armor I use most. Aquilonian with vitality bonus for hot weather and Khitan with strength bonus for cold weather.

Nothing. You continue on playing like always. The DLC owners are able to craft DLC items for non-DLC owners though, but non-DLC owners wont be able to repair them.

i have khitan and it's gorgeous. now i look for turan, it looks very well too.

I like the Aquilonian the best. It looks like ancient greek architecture for the most part.

Picts by Robert E. Howard were apparently a mix of ancient scots and native american indians, particularly Algonquins.

Its the only "barbaric" or primal looking DLC armor set... So its the only one Ive bought so far.
