Tarragon armor is a craftable post-Moon Lord armor set crafted from Uelibloom Bars and Divine Geodes. If the full set is visible (whether equipped or in social slots), the player will emit faint pulses.
It consists of the Tarragon Breastplate and Tarragon Leggings, as well as one headpiece for each class: the Tarragon Helm, Tarragon Visage, Tarragon Mask, Tarragon Horned Helm, and Tarragon Helmet. All headpieces share a general set bonus, and also provide set bonuses specific to their class.
The full set grants the following effects while equipped (this includes the set bonus):
- +90 defense
- +28% ranged damage
- +23% ranged critical strike chance
- +10% movement speed
- -56% enemy spawn rate and -44% maximum spawn count

- +33% magic damage
- +23% magic critical strike chance
- +100 maximum mana

- +10% movement speed

- Magic projectiles have a 50% chance to heal the player on enemy hits, with a 1.5-second cooldown.
- The amount healed is calculated by finding
(20% - times the projectile has hit * 5%) * (current mana / max mana)
, then multiplying it by the projectile's damage. The maximum heal amount is 10 HP.
- +72 defense
- +73% summon damage
- +3 minion slots
- +10% movement speed
