Are Breeches Necessary After Crafting a Robe?

Frenchify

I play an Argonian Sorcerer, I am still low level (17) so of course my armor rate is pretty limited. I was just wondering if I need to craft Breeches (a skirt) if I already crafted a Robe. I'm inclined to say that since Robes count as Chest armour and Breeches as Leg armour, I need to craft the Breeches but I need confirmation from the Veterans out here. I don't have unlimited resources, so I just want to make sure before I make a stupid decision. Thank you in advance!

Yes, you need to craft leg pieces in addition to a robe to get 2 pieces of the set bonuses. The robes only count for 1 set piece of armor even though they look like 2.

If you open up your inventory window, you can see the various armor pieces your character wears. You want each spot to be filled.

This, also you're losing out on the armor boost you would get for having something in that slot.

also not all robes extend past the knees, functionally robes and jerkins are the same and you clearly need pants with those.

You generaly want 5 pieces of armor and weapon in a set for the bonus, most lower level characters use one 5 piece armor set, then two armor and weapon of another then 3 random ring you try to have of one set.

The difference between Jerkin and Robe is purely cosmetic, and they do take up the same [chest] slot in your character window while breeches take the [legs] one. Some styles do have a kilt style breeches model, most notably Daedric.

Even Tamriel has the unexpected breezes yes.

Without breeches an adventurer may easily lose their good reputation and that invitation to the castle they were seeking.

Funny, but no, no you won't be, because Bethesda can't make a ladder climbing animation. Just not in their skillset I suppose. But that was funny af lol

You might want them if it’s cold outside. That updraft can be pretty brisk.

Yes. Otherwise, you're leaving money on the table.

I would imagine that it may get a little chilly at times.
