"Shroud of the Lich" Set is relevant again

TX12001rwb17_ESO

Anyone remember the renowned shroud of the Lich set?.. this set was known for its powerful enchantment and unique appearance (modelled off the attire of Lich enemies and so fourth) and not to mention how hard it was for many players to get a hold of, the Vr10 staff at legendary in particular could sell anywhere between 200k - 400k in the guild store depending on who was selling and having 5 pieces would increase your magicka regen rate by up to 900 for up to 20 seconds once per minute which made it one of the best sets in the entire game for magic users, the only catch was despite its powerful enchantment, this set was for well over a year locked at a mere Vr10 and as Vr12 then Vr14 came along the set was still considered powerful but was getting bested by sets that got the upgrade soon making its semi-obsolete especially when it came to such things as PvP.

Not anymore though for it has after all this time after not 1, not 2 but 3 veteran level increases it has finally been pushed to drop at vr16 and is once again one of the most powerful magic based sets in the entire game, the robe at legendary alone can grant you an additional 1000+ magicka, I did see the robe within a guild store selling for up to 495k..so if your are really wanting to try a powerful magic build out I suggest you try and get yourself some of this gear as the Shroud of the Lich set is Relevant again.

That's just Warlock with a staff instead of Jewelry, right?

The 2 sets actually go together very well and can be worn at the same time and besides the warlock set restores magicka when your magicka goes below 33% the Lich set gives magicka regen for 20 seconds when Magicka goes below 33%, also the warlock set doesn't have a unique appearance like the Lich set which is the same clothing lich enemies wear, its staff in particular is probably the coolest looking healing staff there is.

Do you know if the Draugr's Heritage set now drops in vet 16?

Wait.... are you telling me lich set drops at v16?

Need proof.

Because if this is true, I'm about to start farming my eyes out.

So far I have seen the Crown and The robe sell in Ghratwood at a guildstore on the NA server, the robe was selling for 400k and the crown was selling for 495k and they were both Vr16 not Vr10, I haven't seen the other pieces but it is safe to assume they to will drop at Vr16 now.

Is that the one you get from Ozzozochar and the Vekarth Vampire? If so then maybe.

Thanks mate.

Do you know which set pieces Shroud of the Lich contains? Is it still Robe, Hat, Shoulders, Hands, Resto Staff?

I think its still the same its just been boosted to Vr16 and has Vr16 stats, if you are on the NA server you can go visit Ghratwood and check the guildstores for light armor, if your lucky the crown may still be there in a guild store called Imperial Dominion something or other, it was 495k though if you cant afford it at least you can see it for yourself, I have no doubt considering how much a Vr10 gold Dylora's staff could sell for was around 400k, I wouldn't be surprised if someone could get the full 1 million gold for a Vr16 Gold Dylora's Staff or at least close to that number, the thing is extremely rare and is now harder to get as you can only get it from the dolemns of a PvP zone last i heard where you are at risk of getting ganked by enemy players.

You saying 1100 extra magicka gained each second for 20 seconds is not powerful? (Im pretty sure that's the Vr16 effect) this stacked on top of whatever your magic regen already is then this is perfect for a healer as many healing spells cost around that so you would be regaining magicka faster then you can use it so you could literally spam healing spells non-stop and you would pretty much have infinite magicka for those 20 seconds, especially if you stack it with the warlock set.

You would be surprised and this set isnt just for sorcerers, if you wanted to make a stamina oriented character of another class who has low magicka but you want them to use a healing staff as backup so they can heal themselves then it would be perfect for them.

And if you don't think its that good then do ask yourself....why does a Vr10 staff in a world where high end gear was vr14 at the time, why was the staff selling for more in some guild stores then a gold Archmage robe? look at the previous comments and ask yourself why it is so desired.

Widen your perspective a bit and don't operate under pretenses which are not true 100% of the time.

It's nice to see that set at vr16. But i doubt this counts for the staff, too. The armor pieces drop from chests, which scale to player level. But the staff only drops from a specific boss who is vr14. And boss drops usually don't scale to player level.

I have a NB Magicka oriented character and near infinite magicka for 20 seconds due to such high regen would be bliss especially in the IC, now only if there was a stamina related set that did a similar thing or even a health oriented set.

I have been grinding cyrodiil dolmens and the dolmens are now dropping Vr16 gear despite the bosses scaling up to Vr14, otherwise do explain where people are getting these items from.

Last I checked you require Gedhna Revel to spawn to have a chance to get a piece of clothing and you require the seducer sisters to spawn to get Dylora's staff, that is under the assumption of it that Dylora is one of the seducers who spawn, I don't think u can get the staff from Gedhna Revel.

That explains these outrageous prices, such a thing would be expensive, look at it this way if your magicka regen is 1500 and the set enchantment activates you will have an additional 1100 magicka regen per second, now how much does crystal shards cost exactly? around 2200 to 2400 for most players and it takes about 1.5 seconds to cast so each time you spend 2400 magicka you would of already regained that plus more magicka back in the time it took you to even cast it, and thus you pretty much got infinite magicka unless you decide to spam spells that cost upwards of 4000-5000 magicka.

Only problem is it would help sorcerous with the streaking in combat and the NBs with constanly cloaking and the DKs with spamming GDB or whatever they use nowadays, I have no idea what Templers do.

Really? That's weird. Just made a quick test. Got only vr14 stuff from npcs, but vr16 from chest.

Er, just wanted to bring this up, but doesn't magicka regen tick once every two seconds, not every one second?

With the lich set you wouldn't need that drink, better you could spend it on a food health buff and youc an combined it with the warlock set and maybe a few others and as I said in an earlier post this set would do good for someone with low magicka who wants to spend there attributes elsewhere.

Regardless of what magicka regens at even at 2 seconds this would bring many magicka builds easily over 2k magicka regen and some even well over 3k which would be higher enough for many players to spam most spells which most of them cost between 2000 to 3000 magicka without fear of exhausting your magicka reserves, not to mention the other buffs the set gives and what each individual piece adds, the robe alone can add well over 1000 magicka for example, I think the whole Vr16 set alone can give you at least 4000 to 5000 extra magicka just by wearing it plus the extreme magicka regen when the enchantment activates and with extra magicka comes stronger spells, I think the staff also has an absorb magicka enchantment on it.

Rings (or just an amulet) would be awesome, for sure. But would likely make the set must-have for all magicka users. Just like if adroitness had rings.
