| Spectre Hood | 12 × Spectre Bar | Mythril Anvil |
Dungeon ectoplasm crafting and life restoration set mechanics
The Spectre Hood is assembled at a Mythril Anvil or Orichalcum Anvil using 12 Spectre Bar bars. Worn alongside the Spectre Robe and Spectre Pants, it activates a restorative set bonus. Magic strikes cause healing spirit motes to emerge from struck targets. These motes seek out the most injured player or ally nearby, restoring health equal to 20% of magic damage dealt. Wearing the hood reduces all magic damage dealt by 40% to balance this sustain.
Tactical headgear swapping and spellcaster survival
Because the 40% damage penalty noticeably lowers clear speeds during boss battles, experienced mages keep both the hood and the Spectre Mask in their inventory. Players can deploy high-damage spells with the mask to burn enemy life pools, then switch to the hood when personal health dips below safe thresholds. High-cadence magic weapons like the Razorpine or Bat Scepter quickly hit the internal healing ceiling of 70 life per second.
Trivia
- Healing motes prioritize the nearby ally with the lowest current health ratio.
- Life steal conversion rate drops on piercing attacks that strike multiple targets.
