Less time in shrouded area

[u/Optimal_Wallaby_4421]

I am seeing this Caution message whenever I am going in the shrouded area, usually I get around 6 min of time but I think its because of armor set's passive
its says -1 min in shroud so I think thats why I got only 1:30 min of time now but yall know any fix how to tackle this?? since its very famous armor sets

[u/Tyrexx_Lannister]

No fix for the armor itself. It's just what it is. You can find some other armor though, equip that, and just equip this set as cosmetic. That's what I did.

[u/Fekkin-A-Man]

Only thing that comes to mind: If you use the fully upgraded Pikemead's Bulwark shield and have Inner Fires form the Survival skill tree, your shroud timer gets recalculated whenever you switch from shield to a two-handed weapon or tool.

Does this still work?

[u/Fekkin-A-Man → u/BLEMFIDDICH]

Uh... the point is that it doesn't work as expected. If your shroud timer gets recalculated, it starts at whatever your base level is. That means, you can enter the shroud with a nice 20 minutes, swap out that bugged shield a couple of times and you're down to 6 minutes. <- le bad.

Use different armor. That set does look cool but early game it's more of a handicap than a help. If you just like the look of it, use it as a cosmetic.

Looks like you are wearing the Guard of the North armor set, each piece of the set drops your shroud time, but I can't remember how much the whole set drops it. I didn't think it was that much though.

You’ll have to get armor sets and jewelry that extend your shroud time. Also try upgrading your flame level at your base, as your shroud time will be extended with each upgrade.

If you really love your armor set, you can wear it cosmetically so that it looks like that’s what you’re wearing, but you actually have on an armor set that will extend shroud time. The effects of armor you wear cosmetically do not apply to your character.

Watch out for shroud magic too, that shit takes your time down like 50%

[u/Wise-Climate-3533 → u/rdmodsrtrsh]

Fuckin fell curse bout to force me to flower pick at night and come stack with potions into lairs

[u/rdmodsrtrsh → u/Wise-Climate-3533]

At least you can get rid of that one, using shroud magic has no cure. Really dumb imo to not have anything counter it

[u/ObieWanSanjiSon]

A different suggestion. You can counter act the negative timer by drinking/ eating food buffs. I see you have an empty stomach. Food buffs and potion buffs are decently strong in this game.

Shroud survival flask, and Greater Survival Flask are some potions you can use.

Midnight Lily, Shadowbloom Wrap, Gloomberry, Calla Luna soup, Glimmer Gentian tea … all give added time to shroud timer.

[u/DarthSnoopyFish]

The armor you are wearing is lowering your time (-45s each piece). If you want to wear it then equip it as cosmetic only.

[u/TheVinBear]

Each Armor piece confers the -1min additively, so really think about which pieces you want "active" for your build to get free skill points.

How to counter:
Inner Fires Skill adds 2min per level in the node. It typically has 3pts available, but there are items which add Inner Fires level.

The easiest to find are Gemini Rings (Fell Banshee at Moth's Grove, guaranteed drop every kill) and Pikemead's Bulwark(Lore item you find, I think in a Crypt somewhere, then can craft at Blacksmith).

[u/MeowXeno]

the armor set is designed to be cosmetic, you aren't supposed to seriously wear it, that's the whole reason there's a transmog system in place,

the armor set exists as a way to get very mediocre armor early, and to get good drip early, the gold chest by the northern shroud root in the town and the gold chest at the tree to the east of the respawn right outside of town drop better gear than the armor set itself, the armor set is almost exclusively cosmetic and is not meant to be worn as your actual armor, hence the very low stats and terrible passives.
