Ghost Armor

Every other set is something Jin found, bought or dug up. This one is what the island has decided he is.

The Ghost Armor reduces enemy detection by 25–40%, lowers the number of kills needed to enter Ghost Stance by 1–2, and gives kills a 15–30% chance to terrify nearby enemies. Those three perks describe the same playstyle from three directions: get close unseen, reach the state where enemies break, and make each kill spread panic.

It is awarded by the Act 2 mission From the Darkness rather than by a Mythic Tale — the story hands it over at the point where Jin's reputation has become a weapon in its own right. The mechanical effect and the narrative effect are the same effect.

Terror as a mechanic. It is the armour the story hands you at the exact moment Jin stops being a samurai.

Armour is improved at an armourer, paid for in linen, silk and leather gathered from the world and from tale rewards. Every set states its effects as a range, and the upper figure is what the set does only once it is fully upgraded — an unupgraded set is materially weaker than its description suggests.
