These six sets cannot be upgraded at a Great Fairy Fountain, so their defense stays where it starts. Sets that cannot be enhanced come with their set bonus already unlocked: three of them (Dark, Evil Spirit, Tingle) have a bonus that works as soon as you wear the three pieces. Each set now has its own page; this page compares them. For every set see all armor; the upgradeable sets are on armor upgrade materials.

Which of these sets is worth wearing?

The Phantom set has the most defense of the six, 8 a piece, and each piece adds Attack Up. The Dark and Tingle sets share Night Speed Up for traveling at night, and the Evil Spirit set keeps Stal monsters off you like the Radiant set. The Mystic set trades rupees for hearts, and the Archaic set is only starter clothing. The Evil Spirit set takes all three labyrinths; see the three Lomei labyrinths.

FAQ

Where do you get the Dark set?
From Bargainer Statues for Poes: the Dark Tunic once you have found one statue (150 Poes), the Dark Trousers at three (200) and the Dark Hood at five (300).
How do you get the Evil Spirit set?
Finish the three Lomei prophecy quests: The South Lomei Prophecy for the Mask, The Lomei Labyrinth Island Prophecy for the Armor and The North Lomei Prophecy for the Greaves.
Do these sets need upgrading for the bonus?
No. Armor sets that cannot be enhanced come with their set bonus already unlocked, so the Dark, Evil Spirit and Tingle bonuses work as soon as all three pieces are worn.
