In Suikoden 3, equipment sets were introduced into the series, such as the Pale Moon Set and the Prosperity Set. These pieces of equipment are individually so-so, but when you have the whole set, you gain bonuses that offset the mediocrity of the individual pieces of armor.
In Suikoden 4, there are a total of 20 sets, and they give characters a wide array of special bonuses. This is a list of the known equipment sets.
Equipment set and individual armors provided by SARSadmin and Sasarai. Materials and locations materials provided by Chris_Lightfellow.
