Tonight I captured a T4 named Armorer Shieldwright, Hanar of Bossonia, from Sepermeru. My intention was to have her help in crafting some Medium Silent Legion armor for my Agility character who wants to enter the Volcano and needs good resistances. I have unlocked the Silent Legion Armor knowledge.
I notice that without the Thrall’s butt in the seat, the Medium Silent Legion Boots have a base armor value of 55. With her butt in the seat, that number doesn’t change. I thought the benefit of a Shieldwright was that they provided the highest armor values in the game.
What am I missing? Do I need to level her up first?
The base armor value doesn’t change, but the crafted multiplier does. So you will get the highest armor rating if crafted with a Shieldwright. Additionally, a T4 armorer will also unlock the ‘Redeemed’ Silent Legion Recipe, which is better armor and resistance ratings. Overall, VERY worth having.
Ahh, so I won’t see the difference until after I’ve crafted the armor? Also, isn’t the Redeemed Silent Legion only available in Heavy? That’s the only recipe I see. I’ve been running either Light or Medium.
Armor does not give a ‘set bonus’ in Conan Exiles. I don’t know what @Anglinex is referring to but I’m guessing that he is using some sort of mod perhaps.
Btw, if you’re playing on PC and SP / private server, you can use my armor stats mod and then the bonus from the thrall is also reflected in the station
