The Mystic Set is very tempting in fact, because you can Chaos those face accessories etc for the WA/MA, mages can scroll those ears, and each additional item is as though they come with that 6WA/MA and +7all.
The Tempest set is... well... not bad given that you only need 8 items. Unfortunately it is not 100% compatible with the Mystic set, unless they consider the ring as part of the set (which is NOT the case despite the name...). So it appears that the Tempest set is a kind of... meh version of Empress. The total coin cost is enormous: 505 coins in total for the full 8 items before considering the ring or the pendant (45 and 30 coins each). AND this is not compatible with the Hellisium capes or belts, each of which cost 233 coins but give 10WA/MA each. That also means that the Hellisium eq are superior to the Mystic set too so I'd get both if I could (but the mastery books...)
I would reconsider getting the Tempest sets tbh... there are other better items to get, like the pocket-opening bag and full AP reset (120 and 150 coins respectively).
The Luminous set is just crazy. 13 items for the set to take effect is just... And they're not particularly fantastic compared to the Empress set, nor are they orthogonal to each other. In fact the total set bonus is equal to the Tempest set bonus. Hmm...... it does look good though and if they're obtainable via the Tempest events then it's not bad for a free/relatively cheap thing...
Which reminds me. The Mystic set is obtained from the Crusader's Codex (i.e. your crusader's shop) so they're orthogonal to the Tempest items. No worries about that then. They're expensive though... takes days of killing Lyka or Horsehead to get that many coins, given that we can only get 100 a day...
