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 …

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.
