Item sets (Origins)

Throughout Dragon Age: Origins characters can collect armor sets that provide them with extra benefits when equipped together.  The various pieces of each set can come from various tiers and still return set benefits.  So, for example, a tier 4 (Hardened) Leather Armor will reduce skill costs when matched with a tier 2 (Cured) Leather Boots and a tier 1 (Rough) Leather Gloves.  However, a tier 4 (Hardened) Studded Leather Boots would not enable that benefit.  Also, helmets are not required to complete most sets, nor do they usually benefit from being equipped with "matching" gear.

In the tables below, the helm is not added. None of the helms are required to complete a set, and some of the sets don't have helms. So for easier comparison in this table, the benefits of the helm are not included. However, on the individual page for each armor set if a helm exists it will be listed.

Each one will spawn a Revenant and some lackeys that will attack your party when you disturb the Runes on them.  Each Revenant will drop a piece of the armor.  The final piece is located in the Lower Ruins before the encounter to Parley with the Werewolves.  You will need to complete an ancient elven ritual to open the door to a burial chamber.  There will find the Shade of an ancient Elf woman.  Speak with her and she will attack you.  When the smoke clears, the last part of Juggernaut is found in the tomb she stood behind.
