Item Sets
The idea of an Item Set is that 2 or more items, together, have properties that are greater than simply the sum of their parts.
There are several item sets available in Ultima Online. Most of these were added in the Mondain's Legacy expansion.
Indeed, the concept of an Item Set was alien to UO until that expansion.
Of the Item Sets listed here, all but one is associated in some way with that expansion. The exception is the Virtue Armor. With that exception, every piece listed below comes from a named monster in a Mondain's Legacy dungeon.
Typically, Armor Sets have some pieces that are available from "normal" named ML monsters, and some pieces that are considered "rare" and are available only from the Peerless monsters, or from the boss monsters in the dungeon Doom.
The 2 weapon sets listed below, the Juggernaut Set and the Marksman Item Set, are found only from Peerlesses, or from Doom.

Common & Rare Pieces
- Each piece of a set spawns at a different rate. There are common pieces and uncommon pieces for each Set. Prior to the upgrade to Swoop, reports indicate the odds for finding a Set Item was 1/300. As for assembling a Set on your own, the world may never know.
- It's been alleged that some pieces are associated with particular monsters (other than the Monstrous Interred Grizzle Set); any information on this aspect of Item Sets would be appreciated.
- The table below of select Item Sets indicates the relative supply of the individual pieces.
