Notes

• The Blasphemer's Cloak and Hellfire Cloak never have enhancements.

• There is a chance that no enhancement will be added to the purified item for any of the three Vocation colors outcomes (see Purification). The absence, presence and type of enhancement may be dependent on the Vocation colors.
  • If a purified item has no enhancement, the only way to know if it could get an enhancement with another Vocation color is to load a prior save (or use Godsbane) and purify to both other colors.
• Offline Hired Pawns wearing equipment with Dark Arisen Bonus Enhancements may not receive the benefit of the additional enhancement, even though it is still listed as the equipment's effect - e.g. Adept's Robe, and Immortal's Armor Set are so affected.

Mystic Knight vs 7 Living Armor. A rapid healing demonstration of 3 pawns with chest armor which "Has a slight restorative effect on pawns near you".

Allies within 6 feet of the equipped character are healed at 3 HP per second, which all stack with the Arisen's chest armor with the "Gradually restores health" bonus. Although the Arisen comes very close to death at one point, by the end of the battle she is completely restored to full health. The Arisen is also wearing the arm and leg pieces of the Immortal's Armor Set to regenerate even faster.
