Elder Scrolls Online: High Isle added a bunch of new armor sets to the MMO. As is standard for each Chapter of The Elder Scrolls Online, there are three Overworld sets, three Craftable sets, and four sets tied to High Isle's main Trial: Dreadsail Reef for a total of ten new options.

Each of these new ESO armor sets provides bonuses unique from other sets in the game, and some are becoming fan-favorites thanks to their powerful full-set bonuses. Though getting Overworld sets is easy enough, being able to craft the three new Craftable sets requires a fair bit of time invested in Crafting skills. Getting the Perfected versions of Dreadsail Reef sets is no small task, though.

Overworld High Isle Armor Sets

Elder Scrolls Online High Isle Volcanic Vent Overworld Armor Sets

An Overworld set is one that can only be found by completing a variety of PvE objectives. In the High Isle Chapter, pieces to three Overworld sets can be acquired from World Bosses, Delve Bosses, Public Dungeon Bosses, and Volcanic Vents throughout the High Isle and Amenos zone. These are the Blessing of High Isle, Steadfast's Mettle, and Systres' Scowl sets.

They can also be found in reward coffers for High Isle Dailies, and several quests in the main storyline give weapons and armor from these sets too. To maximize your chances of getting the pieces you want from these sets, complete all three High Isle Dailies each day and take on these other Bosses and Volcanic Vents along the way.

Crafted High Isle Armor Sets

There are three armor sets that can be crafted in unique locations on High Isle. Players can imbue gear at each unique crafting spot with the location's associated armor set bonuses. However, to craft these armor sets, players must have researched a set number of Traits for the piece they want to create.

Gear from the Whorl of the Depths set, the Pillager's Profit set, the Coral Riptide set, and the Pearlescent Ward set drop from Bosses and enemies throughout Dreadsail Reef.
