Colored Glowing Orbs

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · December 2014

I've seen several toons running around with glowing orbs swirling around them. The colors I've seen so far a red, blue and green. What are these?

Magelight form the Mage's Guild tree?

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · December 2014

No, not Mage Light. I think it might from some sort of trophy or gear set effect.

These are "group" sets. Basically, any set that has "increase x for all group members" as a 5 piece bonus will have those orbs. They increase in number the more players are around them.

Its from the Ebon, Worm Cult, and Savior rare group dungeon 5set bonus

And also from the Sanctuary set (which is bind-on-equip) and is much easier to get and can be bought/sold, unlike the other sets.

The number of orbs don't increase with the number of group members any more. That was a bug and really only affected the Sanctuary set. It has been fixed since then. It was quite funny in 12-man grind groups in Craglorn to have 36 orbs floating around you.

Thanks for the answers!

This is what the Sanctuary set effect looks like now:

And this is what it used to look like:

Oh well, was neat while it lasted. Another fun thing to do is combine Sanctuary with either Ebon Armor or Worm Cult and have both green/red orbs or green/blue orbs at the same time.

Heh, I just deconned Sanctuary Set last night (I had all 5 pieces) as I was leveled past it. It was not even Bound as I had not worn any of the pieces yet.

Sanctuary is useful because it is the only group effect set that has jewelry and a staff (that I know of). Because of this, you can combine it with another complete group effect set and still have a slot left over.

I haven't seen a Sanctuary set past VR5, and I don't think they drop past that. Kind of like how Shroud Of The Lich doesn't drop past VR10 because you can only get it at dolmens and the highest level dolmens are VR10.

5 piece worm cult with 5 piece Sanctuary set is a nice healer combo.

Group members within 10m gain (12%) increased effect from heals.
Reduce magicka costs for up to 12 group members by 5%.

I am guessing once the max level drops to L50, theses sets will be more in demand.

This makes me sad. I liked the extra orbs. It told me when someone was too far away.

I would love to farm sanctuary and combine it with my ebon.

A blue orb represents that the player is wearing a set of armor that helps reduce magicka cost for the entire group.

A green orb represents that the player is wearing a set of armor that helps reduce stamina cost for the entire group.

A red orb represents that the player is wearing a set of armor that helps increase the entire groups health.

PSA: This is some impressive necromancy from 2014.

Plus Sanctuary which increases Healing Done but also has green glowy balls for some reason.

Sanctuary set should be yellow.

This is some strong necromancy, indeed.

Combining two of these sets mixes the colours btw. Worm cult + Ebon = purple balls

This might be the deepest necrosis I've seen on this site. Also the most pointless one. Bumping a 4 year old thread to talk. about set orbs.

Better to necro an 4 year old tread about necromancy.
That make far more sense.
