Parts of one set pay in steps: a bonus for two parts and a second one for the full set of four.

The full set gives not stats but a combat property: a shield at the start of a fight, a strike bonus or lifesteal. That is why four parts of a set usually beat four random items of the same rarity.
A land may have a set of its own that drops nowhere else: the Attire of the Sleepers falls only from the creatures of the Swamp of the Sleepers — not in dungeons, not from chests.
Everything here is taken from the game’s own reference — the same one a Keeper opens in town. Русская версия статьи.
