Ebony Armor Perk Glitch?

Post » Wed May 16, 2012 5:39 am

I've noticed Ebony Armor doesn't receive the "Matching Set" perk bonus. Can anyone else confirm this also?

Is it all standard ebony armor, or were some pieces found enchanted? Those items may be different from standard (code wise), and therefore do not allow for the perk to work (This is of course guess work, as I have no clue how the game's code works).

I would suggest trying with all standard if you have not already.

It doesn't work for anything. Standard, Standard/enchanted, All enchanted. Ive even tested other armors to see if it was just the perk glitching, but just Ebony armor doesn't activate the perk. Because of this bug my Orcish armor has higher armor rating than my Ebony.

It doesn't matter. It should work anyways. Enchanted or not.

I noticed the same deficiency. Same perk, same Ebony armor, and the math just doesn't add up. I still wear it, though, on account of Ebony making me look like awesome-in-motion.
