Visually, set items look the same when equipped regardless of character class. Certain unique sets feature an additional class restriction. As with all items, in order to equip set items, a character must either meet the level requirement or the stat requirement, but does not need to meet both.
Each item in a set, however, typically has the same required level or stats, with the main exceptions being trinkets, belts and weapons.
Rare set items do not always have static stats or static sockets. Even though most sets may be equipped by any class, set bonuses may be geared more towards certain classes than others. Some sets may feature more items than the number required to obtain all of the set's bonuses equipping more than the required number of items does not confer any additional bonus. Sets in Torchlight II feature incremental bonuses, with more bonuses being granted as more items in the set are equipped. Sets range from only a few items to one for every item slot, with most rare sets covering at least each of the seven main armor slots. Sets can include any type of equippable item. Item sets in Torchlight II are a collective or group of items that give special bonuses when two or more are equipped together.
