What's Better The Nightingale Armor Or The Thieves Guild Leader

  • April 7, 2013 5:57 AM EDT

    I've Completed the thieves guild questline and i'm wondering whether i should keep using the nightingale armor because it looks really good or i should switch to the thieves guild leader armor. which one should i wear?

    (ps: i'm playing as a thief/assassin)

    For aesthetics that is your choice. However I believe the Guild Master Set is slightly stronger regarding the armour rating of it, the enchantments are more suited to a thief as well. I would recommend you keep all the nightingale pieces apart from the chest which you swap for the Guild Master chest. Just my personal opinion however.

    I liked the nightingale armor.  But as Jack says, depends on aesthetics and how your character is playing.  I learned a little too late how to enchant your armor higher, so with my first character I only got the defense up to 380 something for nightingale.  Not sure if you can do the same with the master guild armor since it's already enchanted.

    IIrc the nightingale armour is also already enchanted, however armour rating is not normally a concern I find, as there are many ways to reach the cap.
