Huntress's Wig

There is no recipe. The Tavernkeep sells all three pieces for Defender Medals, and he will not list them at all until you have put down one of the mechanical bosses. Medals come from running the Old One's Army, so the real price of the set is event runs rather than any material you mine.

On paper it is a ranged set. In practice it turns you into a hybrid. The ranged bonuses are strong for the point in the game where you can afford it, comparable to what the best ore armor of the tier offers, but the extra sentry capacity and summon damage mean your sentries do real work instead of chipping in.

The set rewires the Explosive Trap sentries specifically. They fire faster and coat whatever they hit in oil, and an oiled enemy takes extra damage from any fire effect burning on it. Pairing those traps with an incendiary weapon is the point of the set, not a side benefit, and building around anything else leaves half of it idle.

Sentries do not move and the traps have short reach, so anything that circles an arena simply leaves them behind. The Destroyer and Golem barely leave their patch of ground and traps stacked underneath them run flat out for the whole fight. Against the faster mechanical bosses you are relying on the ranged stats alone, which is fine but is not what you paid for.

When you outgrow it, Red Riding armor is the same design one step up and the obvious next purchase from the same shop.
