The Legacy’s Oath set brings a unique aesthetic that’s reminiscent of the Tenno from the MMO Warframe. To get this armor you have to grab some buddies to fight through the Deep Stone Crypt Raid.

The usual Warlock look comprises of what are essentially robes and coats, the Crystocrene set makes great use of the style by making it look more practical by making you look like you came from a mountaineering trip. You’ve got a backpack to carry your supplies too, which is a cool detail we wouldn’t see on Warlocks. We don’t know what they would carry but it’s not our place to ask what space wizards are carrying.
