What happens to 2nd mundus bonus when you unequip then re-equip twice-born set?

I'm about to make a full set of twice born gear but I'm concerned that if I swap gear then swap back that the 2nd mundus stone buff will be lost. How does this work? Does one go away and then return once 5 pieces are re-equiped? If so, is it random which mundus bonus remains?

    How many pieces of a trait do you need to get any bonus? Eg Divines.

    I don't understand the question.... one piece Twice Born as in using 1 piece over 5 pieces? This would give no bonuses.... Sorry if I misunderstood.

    Yes, that was what I was questioning. So you need a minimum of 5? No real point then, in doing the other pieces in a different trait? Just that the end game build I've seen on YT, the player has a mix of Impen and Infused (probably half and half).

    If you ever use TBS, always choose Divines. There is never a reason to run another trait. The whole point is to augment mundus stones, which you now have two of.

    Is isn't a set I'd recommend in PvP.

    You lose the 2nd stone and will have to go to the shrine I activate it again

    Also, if your armor breaks, you will lose the 2nd stone.

    It will deactivate the second mundus when the set is taken off, and you will need to manually reapply the second mundus buff again.

    For example, let's say you use The Atronach Stone. Now you equip Twice-Born Star and grab the Thief Stone. When removed, the Thief Stone will deactivate. It will not return unless you re-equip 5/5 pieces and walk over to the mundus location to apply it again.

    The exception is that you will lose the buff if your equipment breaks, but it will return once you repair your gear.

    That is how this set works. Hope it helped! :)

    Wow that is a terrible design oversight. I swap gear quite frequently especially as I carry a set of all +10% experience gear. Not to mention there are occasions when tanks must switch to damage for an encounter. I cannot believe such a great set, one I've had my eye on for months now has such a major failing point. After all that time researching nine traits there's no way i'm going for a less than 9 trait tempar magicka tank set. Time to pick a new 9 trait set. =/

    And using all Divines pushes this set's DPS ability ever-so slightly past Julianos/Hunding's in organized endgame trial DPS

    I think this user is confusing "traits" and "set bonuses". They are very different. Traits give their bonus no matter how many pieces of gear you have equipped with that trait. Having multiple pieces of gear with the same trait would simply increase the benefit. Set bonuses however, do require a certain number of pieces equipped for a specific buff. This is seen in the tooltip. This may be old data, not sure, but for Twice Born Star, you get +health if you equip two pieces with that set. You add +stamina with 3 pieces, and +magicka with 4 pieces. You need to equip 5 pieces to get the ability to have 2 mundus stone buffs.

    The way that I understand it, I may be a little off on this, the trait INFUSED on armor increases the enchantment of that particular item. For example, if you have a +500 health enchant glyph and apply it to a chest piece with INFUSED, you would end up with something like +550 health on that piece of gear. instead of just +500. I believe the quality of the item affects the strength of the trait too. A gold quality item with INFUSED may give +600 health whereas a purple item may give +575 health when enchanted. I'm making the numbers up.

    Something like DIVINES on the other hand, will give a bonus to your mundus stone buff. If you have 2 or 3 pieces with DIVINES, then you'd just have a larger increase to your mundus stone buff. Again, I think the quality of the item would increase the effectiveness of the DIVINES trait (blue vs purple vs gold etc.), where a gold quality item with DIVINES would give the largest increase to your mundus buff.
