Sets

From Primal Idle Wiki

Sets are themed six-piece Equipment collections that drop only from Expeditions. Unlike crafted gear, set pieces can never be crafted or bought — you earn them by running biome patrols, caves and guardians. Wearing all six pieces of a set grants an extra set bonus on top of the individual pieces' stats.

There are ten biome sets — one for each biome — plus the endgame Primal set won in the Alpha Arenas.

How sets work

[edit | edit source]
  • Each set has six pieces, one for every Equipment slot: a Spear (weapon), Helm (head), Cuirass (chest), Greaves (legs), Aegis (shield) and Talisman (trinket).
  • Individual pieces give the usual attack or defense for their slot, exactly like other gear.
  • Equipping all six pieces of the same set adds a flat expedition-score bonus — a boost to how well you perform on Expeditions in addition to the raw stats.
  • Sets scale with the biome ladder: each biome's set is roughly tuned so that the full set (with its bonus) carries you into the next biome's patrols.
  • Duplicate pieces are not wasted — extras vendor for Amber.

How to obtain set pieces

[edit | edit source]

Every biome set drops only from that biome's own Expedition content, at rising chances:

  • Patrols — a small chance per piece on each patrol win.
  • Caves — a better chance per winning delve.
  • Guardian — the best chance, on the biome's guardian.

Because pieces are biome-locked, completing a set means farming the Expeditions of that specific biome.

The ten biome sets

[edit | edit source]

Sets are listed in biome-ladder order. "Weapon Atk" is the Spear's attack; "Armour Def" is the defense on each of the Helm, Cuirass, Greaves and Aegis; the Talisman gives the listed attack and defense; "Set Bonus" applies when all six are worn.

Wildwarden Redwood Wilds 8 7 1 / 2 2

The Primal set

[edit | edit source]

The Primal set is the single strongest gear in the game, sitting above every biome set. Its six pieces — the Primal Warspear, Visage, Carapace, Striders, Bulwark and Idol — drop only from Alpha Arena wins, at chances that rise with the arena tier. Nothing above it exists.

  • Weapon: 101 attack (Primal Warspear)
  • Armour (each of head, chest, legs, shield): 83 defense
  • Trinket (Primal Idol): 15 attack / 24 defense
  • Full-set bonus: +30 expedition score
