Pestilent armor

Pestilent armor is a craftable Hardmode armor set crafted from Putrid Pieces. It takes a total of 34 Putrid Pieces to craft a single full suit, or 42 Putrid Pieces if you want to craft one of each headpiece.

It consists of a Pestilent Platemail and Pestilent Leggings as well as two different headpieces: the Pestilent Visor and the Pestilent Guard. Note that only one of the headpieces may be equipped at once but all will trigger a set bonus with the body and legs.

The Pestilent Visor gives 6 defense, 10% increased arrow damage, and 6% increased ranged critical strike chance; the Pestilent Guard gives 7 defense, 12% increased bullet damage, and 5% increased ranged critical strike chance; the Pestilent Platemail gives 9 defense, 5% increased ranged damage, 6% increased ranged critical strike chance, and 25% chance not to consume ammo; and the Pestilent Leggings give 8 defense, 5% increased ranged critical strike chance, and 9% increased movement speed. A full set always provides a total of at least 23 defense, 5% increased critical damage, 11% increased ranged critical strike chance, 25% increased chance not to consume ammo, and 9% increased movement speed, in addition to any stats given by the particular headpiece. While wearing the Pestilent Visor its set bonus causes every 4th strike with a pestilent or ranged weapon to cause an explosion of cursed flames, dealing damage and inflicting the Blighted Flames debuff. While wearing the Pestilent Guard its set bonus grants the player the ability to leave behind a trail of cursed flames as they travel, which deals damage and inflicts Blighted Flames.
