3 weapons of the same set

I have 2 night mother daggers and a 2h night mother great sword but it's only saying I have 2/5 of the set. Are daggers only counted as 1 weapon?

Only the current equipped weapon (that corresponds to the active skillbar) is counted for the set, so you have 2/5 for your dagger skillbar, and when weapon swapping to your 2h, you only get 1/5.

So I can't run 2 5/5 sets then?

You can you have 12 slots so you can do 5/5/2

But back and front bar only cant when active not all the time.

7x armour (chest, legs, helm, shoulders, gloves, boot belt)
2x weapon (or 1x weapon if using a 2 handed weapon), as mentioned, only current equipped weapon(s) count
3x jewelry (2xring, neck)
total: 11-12, thus 2 complete 5 pieces sets (of which one has to be dropped since you cant craft set jewelry) and 1/2 other peces (would recomend monster helm+shoulders)

Yeah, it took me awhile to figure this out too. Only your current weapon counts towards the set. In your case, since you're using a 2h weapon on one bar, you're only going to have 11 slots to work with on that bar which means one of your 5-piece bonuses won't work when you have the 2h weapon up.

If you want to have the two 5-piece bonuses no matter what weapon you have up at a given time, you'll have to sacrifice the 2-piece monster helm set bonus. Either that, or you'll have to dual-wield or use a 1h weapon and shield on the other bar instead of that 2h weapon. If you absolutely will not give up the two-piece bonus of a monster helm set, then you will have to decide which 5-piece bonus you want to be active for each of your weapons.

You can do some clever stuff like this though. For example, if you're doing 2h and bow, you can select one set that has bonus that works with the bow, and a second set that works with a melee weapon. Then have the weapon count as the 5th piece for each set and when you switch weapons you'll be switching which 5-piece bonus is active.

Specifically, you could wear your monster helm and shoulders, wear Viper's Sting neck, two tings, and a Viper's Sting belt, then Kyne's Kiss chest, legs, hands, and feet. Then use a Kyne's Kiss bow and a Viper 2h weapon. When you have the bow up that will complete your Kyne's Kiss set, and likewise for the Viper set when you have the 2h weapon up.

I hope this helps you because it took me a lot of research and experimentation to come to this realization!
