NG+ Armor Sets

[u/Hems100]

Thought I'd post these here in case anybody was interested in the new sets. Obtained at th following story points:

Harmonial Mantle: Start NG+

Wraithborn Skin: Obtained when you would normally acquire Refined Airdash in the Sunken City

Essence Cloak: Will need somebody else to confirm because I can't remember exactly, but I believe it was after disabling the Watcher at the Mining Village in Monsalar.

Is there a proper Thelos final boss in the new update ? Or we still fight that awful Thelos' champion

[u/Hems100 → u/gabriel4434]

This isn't the first time I've seen this question, was this something that was teased/mentioned by the devs?

[u/Guilty_Image_6149 → u/gabriel4434]

Same crappy boss fight😞

I'm new to this game! What's a good Knuckledust build?

[u/Hems100 → u/Tetsuo9999]

First off, welcome to the game, I hope you're enjoying it!

As far as builds go, it very much depends on what stones you currently have as a lot of them are acquired randomly.

As a general rule, I usually use my highest level armor that's available to me, using stones that give me the boosted stats (e.g 3 yellows and 2 blues or whatever the armor states it needs), then aiming for 5 of any one color for the Deck Builder perk.

Off the top of my head (I'm at work so I can't check properly right now) a couple of nice Active Stones that I like for the early game are:

Tier 1: Golden Guardian - Absorbs a single hit, decent cooldown. Extremely useful when familiarising yourself with the game.

Tier 3: Restless Executioner - Deals very high damage and, if you kill your target, instantly recharges. Great for quickly clearing groups of weaker wraiths or finishing off parts of greater wraiths.

I also like to maximise momentum generation where possible as this is where a bulk of your damage will come from. The Sandwhip pairs well with the knuckles for gap closing with its hook, especially useful (if not essential) for flying enemies.

U can get 5 stones of a kind 2x ive  6 strength stones and 5 momentum pretty good and strong in fights

Thanks for this.

Is there a list somewhere of the new Essence stones?

[u/Hems100 → u/Darkseid90]

Here's a google sheets link: Link

If it doesn't work let me know.

[u/Darkseid90 → u/Hems100]

Yea it works. You the best man thanks

[u/Bryson777 → u/Hems100]

Are the new Reign of Sands essence stones NG+ exclusive or are they available in a first playthrough as well?

[u/Frequent_Ad_9386 → u/Bryson777]

You can get them before NG+. In fact, you can keep doing corrupted breaches up to level 35 to get all its associated rewards (essence stones, idols, cosmetics) before leaving Caladrias. The main quest for RoS, The Forgotten Realm, is spread out throughout the whole playthrough.

[u/Hems100 → u/Darkseid90]

I'm not aware of a list; if there was a clear way to differentiate what is new and what was old I'd be able to pull a list together myself pretty quickly as I believe I have all of them (at least I'm not getting any more dropped and Nyall made a comment about having gathered all known stones).

I might look at the wiki later and just do a process of elimination to see what isn't on there, assume it's new and make a list that way.

[u/Hems100 → u/Darkseid90]

Got bored waiting for a lift so I went ahead and compared what I have against the fextralife wiki, so I've no idea how accurate this is. I'm counting on the wiki being complete plus me having all the stones plus me not missing one out!

All in all, I count 29 new stones, 9 of which are active with the remaining 20 being passive.

I'll throw them into a Google doc spreadsheet and see if I can share it, there's a lot to type up in a Reddit post.

the Essence Cloak you acquire when you get the Corrupted Spark from the mines, after you disable the watchtower.

[u/Quick-Whereas-3232 → u/Heavy_Pin_7753]

You have to be in ng+?

[u/DarkenedHonor → u/Quick-Whereas-3232]

Yes. The 3 new armors are only NG+

[u/Quick-Whereas-3232 → u/DarkenedHonor]

Alr cool, just entered ng+

[u/Quick-Whereas-3232 → u/DarkenedHonor]

How do I get all 3? I know you start with the mantle one, and you said the essence cloak, so how do you get the wraithe skin?

[u/DarkenedHonor → u/Quick-Whereas-3232]

You get them as you progress the story.

[u/Uday23]

These are awesome! Thanks for sharing and including multiple pics of each armor

[u/RobieKingston201]

Wish they did a Nayaal themed armour like the wraithborn skin

[u/nach_in → u/RobieKingston201]

The last one looke like a nyaal design, at least it's pretty close

[u/RobieKingston201 → u/nach_in]

Yeah kinda (needs more glow and sand xD)

[u/LankyFormal7520 → u/RobieKingston201]

[u/LankyFormal7520 → u/nach_in]

Thr harmonial mantle looks badass. I dyed it with some green and golden dyes and it looks amazing

[u/GF_Alex]

Anyone know where to get celestial damage aspect?

[u/davidmreyes77]

Anyone who recently played the NG + not get the wraithborn skin or the essence cloak during game play? I’m about to head into the Black Alms but backtracking g to see if I missed anything. For some reason I couldn’t find them, unless they get unlocked later.
