I discovered a strange property of the armor that drops in the new Giant King dungeon: it drains stamina very quickly.
How did I figure this out?
I usually wear a custom set made up of pieces from various armor sets. I’m including a screenshot because localization differences can sometimes lead to confusion, though experienced players will likely recognize the gear at a glance.
With that set and my build, I never ran out of stamina; I could easily crawl along the walls of the Giant King dungeon without ever falling.
Then, I put together a set of armor dropped in the new dungeon and decided to wear it (except for the helmet). And then I was in for a surprise: I couldn’t climb even a small hill! I couldn’t figure out what was wrong until I tried taking the armor off. Once undressed, I was able to climb the hill using only half of my stamina!
After some experimenting, I realized that the chest and leg pieces were the ones draining my stamina. The other parts didn’t seem to have that effect.
So, the question is: is this a bug, or is it intentional? And if it is intentional, why create armor that no one will ever wear because of a feature like that? :)))
Anvil Keeper Set? Heavy armor strains your stamina pool severely when performing heavy actions or climbing walls. Maybe apply Armor Flexibility Kits to tose pieces?
As you can see from the screenshot of my old armor, I always wear heavy armor. The problem arose specifically with the new armor—if you don’t believe me, check for yourself.
Noticed the same things and i too always wear heavy armor but still have normal stamina drain, anvil kings set wipes out my stamina in 3 ticks
noticed this in solo- creative exploring the dungeon. haven’t poked the dungeon on official servers yet.
How curious!
And how curious anybody found that out. You have sharp eyes!
Just spotted this myself with the new Vassal Scout set. Compared it with the base game light armor, and the difference when climbing is huge.
Strangely, it doesn’t affect combat or sprinting though
How about swimming? (Since that is the other form of movement that uses stamina.) Very interesting that the impact is on some forms of stamina drain and not others - I’d have expected it to affect all or none…
After some testing the sets seem to be bugged. Only climbing multiplier seems to be affected. Reported to helpshift.
Well, when I couldn’t get out of the Pools on Siptah—right where I’d always easily climbed the slope—and fell about five times while my friends laughed, you’re bound to notice that! ))))))))))))
Glvoes of Jhil are light armor. And they give stamina regen, even when climbing.
It seems you didn’t read my message carefully. Didn’t you see Jhil’s gloves in the screenshot I posted in the problem description? I’m actually wearing them.
No gloves of Jhil mentioned.
@Morticia here is a video showing what you are talking about.
I also sent a bug report and linked this video.
Well, because they don’t affect stamina consumption! Unlike other gloves, they simply provide a stamina boost while you’re hanging on a cliff face. The real problem—then and now—is the insane stamina drain that occurs when wearing the Giant King set. I always keep Jill’s gloves with me.
Ah so to clarify: even with jhil gloves the stamina drain is insane
I need to test that when I have time.
