On September 17, 2021 there was a big set rebalancing released by the game. For posterity, I’ve copied the Ancient Sets page here to an archived version.
The official announcement:
We have received a lot of feedback from gamers about how balanced the sets are. Based on your comments and the statistics collected, we took a look at the current sets and decided to balance out a number of set bonuses and even change some of them. From now on, we will pay more attention to statistics analysis and your feedback so we can make additional changes and improve the balance of the sets:
Paladin
The Paladin’s 4 item set no longer protects the Paladin from being stunned
Everything that follows is from before September 2021.
This page is intended as a preview for those not yet throne room 11 or as a reference for those who are.

How Sets Work
Mithril
At throne room 11 there is a new resource: Mithril. These little green cubes become the center of the game once you finish construction because they are needed to build Ancient Sets.
With the room built to the max and my workers trained to the max, and decent purple or better gear on everyone, I get 1,700 mithril per hour production.
I supplement this with raiding and the Portal. At Portal Level 81 and above, the reward is “very dark souls” which can be used to buy separate items in the Portal Store. These items are (1) a chest of Material for the Storm and Illusionist Sets, (2) a chest of 100,000 mithril, and (3) a rotating Essence.
Souls
You need 150,000 mithril to unlock each fighters weapon soul and each fighter’s armor soul. The fighter needs to be trained to fighter level 100 first.
Souls come in green, blue, purple, and orange like other equipment.
There are restrictions on matching the soul to it’s corresponding armor/weapon. First, it has to be the same class, so tank armor needs tank armor soul. Second, the gear and it’s corresponding soul cannot have the same special ability. For example, if your armor restores health, then you cannot use a armor soul that also restores health. Third, for weapons the soul needs to be the same weapon type. So not just any tank weapon soul can go on any tank weapon. If you have an ax, then you need an ax soul. If you have a sword, then you need a sword soul.
You cannot craft your own souls. You can only get them in chests, the Arena Store (where they are good, but expensive and only 0-1 for sale at any time), or your clan war chest. Combined with needing to be quite specific, searching for good souls takes a lot of time.
Your fighter’s weapon, weapon soul, armor, armor soul, ring, and amulet make if the 6 items that are a Set.
Set Material
After throne room 11, you get Ancient Set Material as part of the reward for most aspects of the game: the gem bay, arena, portal, clan wars, and dungeon. Most Ancient Sets require a little bit of each.
These come in orange, purple, and blue varieties. There are too many different types of Material to list them all. All sets needs 1 specific orange, 1 specific purple, and 2 different specific blue material types. The orange is normally the limiting material you will be hunting for, but not always. Since they come from different parts of the game, if for example, you always go to the Gem Bay multiple times a day, then you will have plenty of that material and might actually be left hunting for one of the purple or blue materials in order to continue working on your Set.
The two new sets with the Clan Territory expansion are EoL and Frost Death. The material for these needs to be purchased in the CT Store. I think this is actually very easy because you can buy exactly what you need.
Portal material is considered the hardest to get. There are two different types of “Portal Material”. First, normal portal material is bought from the Portal store for 10,000 Dark Souls. You get a chest and hope what you need is inside. It takes a long time to get all that you need for a full set which requires an orange Portal material (like Annihilator or Incinerator).
The second type of Portal material is for the Illusionist and Storm sets (added during Portal expansion). These need to be purchased for Very Dark Souls from the Portal Store. Again, it’s a chest and you never know if you will get what you need. Chests cost 19,500 Very Dark Souls.
Winning in a Clan War will get you a chest that can have any material. I’m often lucky and get Portal Material in these. Similar with the “Personal Reward” at the end of the Clan War season, which if you earn enough Glory will even have Essence inside.
Set Essence
Once you have all the correct material, you use it to craft 1 Essence. Each Ancient Set has its own corresponding Essence that can only be used for that Set.
Besides the Material, you need 200,000 mithril and 1 orange shard to make each Essence.
Then, finally, you use the Essence to forge the Set items.
Crafting, Reforging, Recrafting
These terms get used interchangeably a lot. However, I’m going to stick my flag in the ground and declare the “correct” usage is:
- Craft is when you create an Ancient piece from scratch from essence
- Reforge is when you use 1 essence and 100k mithril to change the base gear in an existing craft
- Recraft (admittedly not a real word) is when you do a craft but it is not your first craft of that set and gear type combo (aka paladin amulet).
Crafting Gear
As mentioned above, there are 6 items to forge in each set. The bonuses are based on how many items you have. It does not matter what order you craft them in.
You craft Ancient gear onto base gear. The base gear needs to be orange level 98-100. Weapons and Armor need to be the right class (tank, archer, mage). The Weapon also needs to be the right type (aka orb, scepter, staff). That’s right, each ancient set only works with one weapon type. For example, if you want a full Annihilator, she will need to wield an Ax.
When you craft an item, that gear doesn’t get any new abilities. The Set Bonuses are not attached to any particular gear; they are applied to the fighter equipped with the gear. However, each crafted item gets all its attributes enhanced. Armor gets better health, weapon gets better damage damage, attribute bonuses all increase, too. It also gets one new gem slot.
You may notice that there are some tank sets that require archer armor (Legionnaire, Storm, Shadow). These sets are better at doing damage. The tank sets with tank armor (EoL, Annihilator, Baston, Paladin) are not great at dealing damage, their specialty is staying alive and holding the front line to protect the mages.
NOTE A hybrid is when you combine partial sets on the same fighter, like a Pala-Bane with Bane weapon/soul and Paladin armor/soul and jewelry. Paladin is very popular for hybrids because they are good at staying alive and the 4/6 Set Bonus is basically as good as the 6/6.
Here are some screenshots of crafting an Incinerator Weapon. As you can see, I can only choose qualifying wands for the base gear.
Reforging Gear
Crafting isn’t forever. You can reforge any item for “just” 1 Essence, 100,000 mithril, and 1 orange shard. While crafting essence and crafting gear take time to finish, reforging is instant.
The game makes is very easy. It shows you previews of your new item and lets you compare it with your current item.
NOTE When you craft an item to Ancient, it gets an extra Gem slot in the last position. Notice above that when I reforge an item, the same extra gem slot transfers over to the new item, gem included, free of charge!
TIP When you are in the stage of making all your first Crafts, prioritize merging up that last gem slot. You will save the gold and diamonds of moving (at least 1) gem when you inevitably want to reforge to new event gear.
The next section is on Rolls. Once you have your main fighters all ancient and you switch focus to Rolls, you will be changing gear less often and instead recrafting to improve your rolls. Once in that stage, you want to do the opposite and prioritize the other slots because the last gem is removed when you break the item.
Recrafting Gear
Thought it was a long grind getting your first 6/6 Ancient Set? Thought it was a long grind getting your whole squad 6/6? Well.. I have bad news. You’re just getting started.
In the craft preview, you will see that your crafted gear will end up with new values within a given range. Where you end up in this range is called your “Roll”. The following section is about rolls.
The only way to improve your roll is to make a brand new Ancient item from 10 (if armor, 7 souls, etc) essence. “Recrafting” is when you do a craft of a new Ancient item, that you have already done before, and with the intention of improving your roll.
Rolls
There is a lot of miss information about Rolls and people who will swear it works differently from how it actually does. My info here is thoroughly checked and confirmed and I’m quite confident in it.
Calculating your Roll
The formula is: ( [your_roll] – [roll_minimum] ) / [roll-maximum] – [roll-minimum] )
Yes, this is just the formula for percent when the minimum is not zero.
Note, don’t use damage for the calculation. DPS takes other things into account and won’t give an accurate number. Also it’s a range, so it’s extra math to first get the average.
I like to use one of the attributes like Crit or Spell Power. Note, you can do this calculation on any attribute and you will get the same percent value. This is the Ancient item’s roll.
NOTE Purchased ancient items seem to always have a 68 to 75 roll, give or take.
Improving your Roll
Every time you craft an item of the same set and gear type (aka paladin amulet, illusionist scepter, incinerator armor soul, etc) you will get a better roll.
Yes, every time. It does not matter how you do it. Don’t listen to those who say you have to break your existing one and recraft on the same base gear. That is not true. Here is a video by the great San Transarm proving it. He crafts a series of paladin rings onto different base rings, each getting a better roll than the one before.
OK… there is one exception to the “it will alway improve” rule. As you get very close to 100, in the 90s, there have been reports of slight decreases. However, it is probably not the best use of mithril to be recrafting gear that already has a roll in the 90s. After all, new sets keep coming out; META keeps making slight shifts.
Strategy
There are 2 options for recrafts: (1) make a second one or (2) break and replace.
The advantage to making a second one is you get a spare ancient item. Great for testing new gear or building a whole second fighter with that set (second Darkulas are very popular). This is probably what you want to choose most of the time. It can be very useful to have different options for different contexts in the game. For example, I switch my pala-mage to self-rez pala-armor when fighting the CT Abyss bosses, and to event pala-armor when in the Arena. The “spares” are also nice in Gem Bay and Expo when a large team is brought.
The advantage to break and replace is you get a few essence back when you break. You can unequip any ancient item and hit the Break button. It will then show you a preview of what you will get from the break on a confirmation screen. Like this:
When you break an Ancient Item, you get back the original base gear, any runes, any skin, the gem in the last slot (the slot added when crafted), and some essence.
You get the following essence back:
- 3 for weapon,
- 2 for weapon soul,
- 3 for armor,
- 2 for armor soul,
- 1 for ring,
- 1 for amulet
Keeping in mind the cost to craft is 10 for armor/weapon, 7 for souls, and 3 for jewelry.
Each event, I always want to move some jewelry. I can reforge an ancient jewelry item for 1 essence and 100 mithril — or — I can break and recraft for just 1 additional essence and 300 additional mithril. Certainly something to consider, depending on the roll and the attributes that would be improved. Just like crafting, your biggest wins on recrafting will be armor and weapon.
