The defining trait of set-grade equipment was its value for long-term wear.
Take the "Power Demon" series he was currently wearing, as well as the "Chrono" series—these possessed traits that individual pieces of equipment often lacked.
Even now, Zong Shen's Power Demon equipment was far from outdated.
Its overall combination and characteristic skills rivaled those of epic-grade equipment.
Skills such as [Power Demon State] and [Strength Extraction] were exceptionally practical and provided obvious enhancements to himself.
Not to mention the additional attribute boosts gained after completing a set.
It now seemed that sets also had clear grade distinctions.
The entry-level tier was the [Red] grade Zong Shen had first encountered.
Above that were the two entirely new grades of [Dark Red] and [Blood Rose].
Of Zong Shen's currently equipped [Power Demon Set], he was still missing two of the six pieces: [Power Demon's Decapitation Great Axe (Red)] and [Power Demon Battle Boots (Red)] to complete the set.
He could try his luck in the [Red Set-Grade Limited Equipment] category.
With a thought, Zong Shen opened that option.
The interface before him changed and refreshed, displaying a new list.
[Power Demon Set]
[Chrono Set]
[Skyborne Set]
[Spirit Mage Set]
[Shadow Demon Set]
[Night Walker Set]
[Eagle Eye Gale Set]
[Red Knight Set]
[Savage Warrior Set]
Zong Shen gave it a rough count and found that there were forty or fifty Red sets available to choose from, including his Power Demon Set.
He could select any four components from these sets.
That was somewhat awkward, but sets did not lack individual pieces with outstanding effects. For example, the [Ring of Power Demon (Red)] and [Power Demon Battle Armor (Red)] in his possession were both excellent equipment even when used on their own.
Even if Zong Shen had no use for them
