IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT SET DUNGEONS!

The 6 Piece Bonus Must Be Active: The six-piece set bonus must be active for the Pilar to spawn and enter the portal. You can do this by equipping all 6 pieces or equipping 5 pieces with a Ring of Royal Grandeur worn or in Kanai’s Cube.

Hardcore Players CANNOT DIE in Set Dungeons: When you would normally die, instead you will be set to 1hp. Monster’s attack animations will still go through but no damage will result. When the Portal spawns DO NOT EXIT! Any monster dragged to the location will be waiting for you. It is best to clear the area around the Pilar, along with setting the game difficulty to Normal as the dungeons are pre-determined. The safest measure can be to teleport back to town directly inside the set dungeon.

Set Dungeon Maps Do Not Change: Each set has its own unique map layout, monster types, and mob density. This is great for planning out your route based on the map you are in and allows you to develop your own strategy for completing the Dungeon. It is okay not to complete the dungeon on your 1^st, 3^rd or even 10^th time. This is a learning experience as much as a gaming experience. Take your time and learn a little more each time.

Followers Are Allowed: Followers can accompany you into the set Dungeon, however, it is best to leave them behind as many of their crowd control attacks can interfere with set dungeon objective.

Set Dungeons Must Be Completed By You: Allies are allowed to help you by pulling and killing monsters, however, credit will not be awarded to them. The player that started the dungeon is the only one to get credit for completing it.

Rewards for Completing & Mastering: Mastering a Set Dungeon gives you a new Banner Sigil. Mastering all Set Dungeons for a class grants an exclusive Pennant. Completing the basic requirements for all Set Dungeons will award an exclusive pair of Wings. Completing the Mastery requirements for all of them will give you another set of Wings.
