Set equipment were considered very useful as the set effects they provided were usually very powerful. A four-piece set was the kind of set equipment with least number of pieces.
The leopard skin set was an armor set that is available at the lowest levels. It provided high agility and was very famous among assassins. The only thing that could be a bit of problem was its color scheme.
As the name suggested, it had the leopard pattern on it. Most male players had issues with it, but it was quite famous among female players. Even the ones who didn't play assassin profession were tempted to buy it. Even Balthazar himself wouldn't be caught dead wearing it but it definitely was a useful set. He could sell it tomorrow after getting a better set.
After he got the first piece, he was awfully tempted to collect the remaining pieces of the set. He decided to hunt actively for leopards instead of going towards the lake. He soon killed over 15 leopards managing to get 6 pieces of the leopard skin set. When he finally got all four pieces without a repeat, he resumed his original plan to explore the area by the lake.
By the time he was done with the leopard skin set, he was already level 8 and equipped the set. As he reached the lake, he noticed that something was peculiar about it. It usually is expected to see more number of beasts by a lake. But it was completely different from what he expected.
For starters, there were no beasts such as antelopes, deer and leopards visible along the lake. There was a large wooden stockade separating the lake from the rest of the plains. It had a few masked bandits guarding the door and other places. Moreover, the guards were all at level 10.
It also had a couple of watchtowers. It seemed like they had a camp set up at the lake and were digging near the lake in search for something. Though he couldn't kill any of them, due the passive enhanced stealth from his mask, he could easily check it out in stealth.
