With the release ofThe Elder Scrolls Online’s most recent DLC Deadlands comes six new unique armor sets, three of which are craftable, and three of which can be found in the overworld of the eponymous Deadlands. TheWretched Vitalityarmor set is one of the former, and its set effects can be imbued onto any piece ofcrafted armor.

It’s a set that is almost completely oriented around resource regeneration, both Stamina and Magicka, and of the three craftable sets in the Deadlands DLC it has the fewest pre-requisites. Whether it’s a game-breaking set forThe Elder Scrolls Onlineor a forgettable one is yet to be seen.
The Wretched Vitality Set Bonuses
The Wretched Vitality armor set has three distinct bonuses: Magicka Recovery, Stamina Recovery, and Weapon/Spell Damage. The full set bonus is based around Buffs and Debuffs, something just about every class has access to, but onlyfew builds can take advantage of.
The 130 Magicka and Stamina Recovery gained from casting a Minor Debuff or Buff is, to say the least, pretty minute. Even when doubled when using Major Debuffs and Buffs, its still only260 extra resource recoveryper second. The fact that itlasts for 15 secondsis nice, though, and it can proc constantly giving the caster a little boost to recovery at all times.
Crafting The Wretched Vitality Set
The Wretched Vitality armor set can be crafted at theStormwright’s Cleft in the far East of the Deadlands. Just like with all unique set crafting locations inThe Elder Scrolls Online, the Stormwright’s Cleft is home to armor, weapon, and jewelry crafting stations that can beused to imbue itemswith the Wretched Vitality set bonus.
To craft the Wretched Vitality set players must haveresearched at least three traitson the piece of gear they want to create. It’s important to remember that these traits do not carry over between crafting tables, equipment types, or crafting tabs, so having three traits researched on a Robe doesn’t matter if you want to create a Bow, for example.
