Full Elden Ring Armor Sets Catalog and Locations Guide

This guide will show you all Elden Ring Armor Sets available in the base game – a full catalog with high-quality images of the front and back visuals as well as detailed descriptions and information on where and how to get the sets!

Elden Ring has a vast collection of armor sets you can wear and continues the tradition of “if you see it, you can wear it” like other From Software games. There are some exceptions, particularly with enemies that have less humanoid appearances, but usually enemies have a chance to drop a piece of the armor set they’re wearing upon being defeated.

For friendly NPCs and more unique enemies like bosses, these are typically obtainable through specific drops where you’ll get most or all of the armor set at once. In this guide, I’ll be showcasing all the different armor sets you can get in the game from both front and back and where you can find them. In addition, I also have some tips on how you can make farming for a specific set more efficient at the end of this guide.

Some sets, particularly lighter ones, do not contain a full set of 4 pieces of gear. In order to be on this list, the armor set must contain at least 3 unique pieces, though there might be a couple of 2-piece sets that slipped through the cracks. I will specify when an armor does not contain a full set of 4 pieces or when a specific piece is located elsewhere. The only 3 armor sets that are missing from this list are regular Duelist, High Page, and Goldmask.

This list is ordered with the heaviest armor sets at the top and lightest at the bottom and should be pretty close to the exact order you see in your inventory. I have also put character names in parentheses next to the name of the armor set in case you are looking for the armor worn by a specific character.

Armor Sets Full Catalog (Base Game)

Click on a thumbnail image to see the full info for the armor set, including high quality images from the front and back of the character and detailed instructions where and how to obtain the gear.

Bull-Goat

The Bull-Goat armor set can be obtained by invading and defeating Great Horned Tragoth. The mission that allows you to invade is given to you by Patches after he shows up at the Volcano Manor once you’ve already completed at least 1 assassination mission in service of the Manor.

After accepting the mission, you should see a red icon on your map that shows you where you need to go. You can use the Bull-Goat set with my Shadow of the Erdtree Bleed Build.

Omen (Dung Eater)

The Omen set can be found at the Dung Eater’s corpse in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds (Lyndell Capital Sewers) after completing his quest. You will need to reload the area after picking up the Mending Rune of the Fell Curse.

Fire Prelate

The Fire Prelate armor set drops from Fire Prelates. The set is pretty rare because there are only a few Fire Prelates in the whole game. I found the easiest location for farming was just repeatedly taking out the one near the Whiteridge Road Lost Grace and Guardian’s Garrison up on the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Lionel’s Armor Set and Deathbed Dress

Big Hat Siegward’s armor set can be found in a bedroom just off the main avenue in Lyndell, Royal Capital.

If you play in NG+, you can use this set for a great Necromancer PvE Build.

In the same bed, you’ll also find the Deathbed Dress, which seems to be what Fia is wearing beneath her cloak.

Radahn

Radahn’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia in the Roundtable Hold after defeating Scarscourge Radahn.

Radahn’s lion set is featured in my Lightning Spear PvE Build Guide as one of the recommendations for armor.

Crucible Tree

The Crucible Tree armor set can be found in a chest being guarded by a Crucible Tree Knight in northwestern Deeproot Depths.

Crucible Axe

The Crucible Axe set is dropped by defeating Crucible Knight Ordovis at the end of Aurizia Hero’s Grave on the west edge of Lyndell, Royal Captial, just outside the inner wall.

Malformed Dragon

The Malformed Dragon armor set drops from the Tree Sentinel-ish enemy you fight right before facing off against the final boss of the Crumbling Farum Azula dungeon.

Tree Sentinel

The Tree Sentinel Armor set drops from getting the spinning wheel statues of doom to collide and destroy one another inside Azuria Hero’s Grave, which is located against the eastern outside of the inner wall of Lyndell.

This set is included as one of the recommendations for armor in my Lightning Spear PvE Build Guide.

Beast Champion

The Beast Champion’s armor set drops from defeating Knight Bernahl. You can attack him whenever you meet him, or you can wait for him to invade you at Crumbling Farum Azula.

If you want to play a strong Sorcerer Build in Elden Ring, the Beast Champion armor set is a good choice.

This is one of the armor sets I recommend that you get for the Sorcerer PvE Build in Elden Ring.

Scaled

The Scaled armor set drops from completing the first assassination mission for the Volcano Manor by taking down Old Knight Istvan. You should see a red icon on your map that tells you where you need to go for the invasion.

Veteran (Commander Niall)

The Veteran’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating Commander Niall boss at the end of Castle Sol, which is located among the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Night’s Cavalry

The Night’s Cavalry armor set drops alongside an Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone after taking down a duo of Night’s Cavalry at nighttime who are attempting to escort a black caravan through the Consecrated Snowfield. The caravan can be found near the Inner Consecrated Snowfield Lost Grace.

This armor set is included as one of the recommendations for armor in my Necromancer PvE Build Guide.

Banished Knight

The Banished Knight armor set is dropped by Banished Knights, which can be found in various locations throughout the Lands Between, though there are a bunch of them at Stormveil Castle. There is an altered variant of this armor set that I’ll go over next, but both share the gloves and pants and only differ in the helmet and chest. Actual Banished Knights in the game seem to mix and match the altered and unaltered portions.

The best spot I found for farming everything but the unaltered helmet is starting at the Rampart Tower, dropping down towards Sorcerer Rogier’s chapel and heading through the room with the grafted enemy. You’ll come across 1 Banished Knight that wears 1 of each type of chest piece, though both wear the altered helmet.

Banished Knight Altered

The altered version of the Banished Knight set is quite different and you can’t alter it yourself at Lost Graces for some reason, so I opted to include it as a separate entry. The entire version of the Banished Knight altered armor set can be found at Stormveil Castle. Check out the entry above on the regular Banished Knight set for better info on farming.

Maliketh

Maliketh’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating Maliketh in Crumbling Farum Azula.

You can create a powerful Necromancer Build with this armor set.

Royal Knight (Loretta)

The Royal Knight’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia after defeating Loretta, Knight of the Haligtree, at the halfway point of the Haligtree dungeon (end of Miquella’s Haligtree portion). Satellite TV service not included with purchase of helmet.

All-Knowing (Sir Gideon Ofnir)

The All-Knowing armor set is dropped by defeating Sir Gideon Ofnir at the Erdtree Sanctuary at Lyndell, Royal Capital. Sir Gideon will not appear until you have progressed through the story and are able to fight the Elden Ring’s final boss.

Royal Remains (Ensha)

After obtaining either half of the Haligtree Secret Medallion, return to the Roundtable Hold where you will have to fight Ensha. Once you rest at a Lost Grace, you will find the Royal Remains armor set where Ensha was previously being as edgy as possible (outside Gideon’s office).

You can learn more about how to locate both halves of the Medallion at the beginning of my How to beat Malenia, Goddess of Rot guide. This armor set is a great fit for a Necromancer Build.

Fingerprint

The Fingerprint armor set is given as a reward for defeating Roundtable Knight Vyke at the Lord Contender’s Evergaol in eastern part of the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Briar

The Briar armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating the Elemer of the Briar, the final boss of the Shaded Castle which is located along the northern edge of the Atlus Plateau. The main entry to the valley leading to the Shaded Castle is by the Lux Ruins and Erdtree Gazing Hill Lost Grace.

Drake Knight

The Drake Knight armor set can be found in a chest in Crumbling Farum Azula near the Dragon Temple Rooftop Lost Grace.

This is one of the good choices for a strong Bleed build that you can easily put together while unlocking and progressing through Shadow of the Erdtree.

Blaidd

Blaidd’s armor set can be obtained after defeating him at the end of Ranni’s quest where you’ll find him hostile outside Ranni’s Rise. Once he’s defeated, you’ll immediately receive the chest, hands, and legs, but have to reload the area at a Lost Grace and head over to Seluvis’s Rise to pick up the helmet, which will be located on a corpse along the outer wall.

Twinned Knight (D Twins)

The Twinned Knight armor set will be given to you twice as part of D and Fia’s questline (keep hugging Fia periodically to progress the quest). Once you obtain the armor from D the first time, take it to the twin D in Nokron and continue on Fia’s questline where you’ll have an opportunity to reclaim it at the end after receiving the Mending Rune of the Death-Prince at the Prince of Death’s Throne in Deeproot Depths.

Hoslow

The Hoslow armor set is dropped by defeating Juno Hoslow as the final assassination of the Volcano Manor. You should see the invasion location marked on your map after accepting the mission.

Raging Wolf

The Raging Wolf set can be obtained for completing the penultimate assassination mission at the Volcano Manor by taking down Errant Sorcerer Wilhelm and Vargram the Raging Wolf alongside Bernahl. The red marks on your map will show you where you need to go.

The Raging Wolf armor is one of the recommended sets for my aggressive Bleed Build that you can put together while unlocking the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion area.

Cleanrot

The Cleanrot Knight’s armor set drops off of Cleanrot Knights, which you can find in primarily in Aeonia in Caelid and throughout the second part of the Haligtree dungeon, Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.

Bloodhound Knight

The Bloodhound Knight armor set drops off a specific Bloodhound Knight inside Gelmir Hero’s Grave near Mt. Gelmir on the Atlus Plateau.

Gelmir Knight

The Gelmir Knight’s armor set can be picked up off a corpse in the Gelmir Hero’s Grave in Atlus Plateau. The corpse is guarded by the Bloodhound Knight that drops the Bloodhound Knight’s armor set. Color variations of the Gelmir Knight armor set can be found throughout the Lands Between by farming specific knights wearing the colors you wish to represent.

Carian Knight

The Carian Knight armor set can be found on a corpse in the magical zombie graveyard at the Academy of Raya Lucaria. Check out my guide Academy of Raya Lucaria: All Item Locations for more detailed information on what I think is one of the coolest armor sets in the game.

I recommend the Carian Knight as part of my Sorcerer Build for Elden Ring.

This is one of the recommended armor sets for the Sorcerer PvE Build in Elden Ring.

Vagabond Knight

The Vagabond Knight armor set is starting armor for the Vagabond Class, but it can be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant found in the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Knight

The Knight Armor set can be purchased from the Twinmaiden Husks (the ones you give Bell Bearings to) in Roundtable Hold.

Elden Lord (Godfrey)

The Elden Lord armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating Godfrey / Horah Loux at the Elden Throne in Lyndell, Royal Capital.

Malenia

Malenia’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Maiden Enia at the Roundtable Hold after defeating Malenia, Goddess of Rot at the end of the Haligtree dungeon.

Black Knife

The Black Knife Armor set can be picked up off a corpse at the back of Ordinia, Liturgical Town in western Mountaintops of the Giants (Haligtree side). This armor set causes you to become silent and has a cool translucent effect on the cloak.

Zamor

The Zamor armor set drops off of the Ancient Hero of Zamor boss that you fight at the end of the Giant-Conquering Hero’s Grave in southeast region of the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Fire Monk

The Fire Monk armor set drops from Fire Monks which can be found throughout the Lands Between in little camps. You will likely spot them first either in western Liurnia or Caelid.

I recommend using the Fire Monk set if you are going for a Pyromancer Build in Elden Ring.

Blackflame Monk

The Blackflame Monk armor set offers a more subdued look compared to the regular Fire Monks. Blackflame Monks are a bit rarer, but become more common in the later game. The best spot I found for farming one was at the base of the Divine Tower of Caelid, there’s one right near a Lost Grace.

This is one of my recommendations for an armor set that fits perfectly in this powerful Pyromancer Build in Elden Ring. It is also featured as an option for my Bleed Build, which you can put together while progressing toward the new Land of Shadow expansion area.

Blue Silver Mail

The Blue Silver Mail armor is worn by Albunauric Archers that can be found on the western (Haligtree) side of the Mountaintops of the Giants. The best farming spot I’ve found is right near the entrance to Ordina, Liturgical Town, but they are quite difficult to fight even if you’re properly leveled and especially if you’re sacrificing parts of your build to boost your Discovery stat.

You can also loot the armor off of Latenna when you first meet her by defeating her instead of letting her turn into a Spirit Ash, but you’ll be giving up a Somber Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone in the process.

Eccentric (Jerren)

The Eccentric Armor set can only be obtained by defeating Witch-Hunter Jerren. The best time to do this is at the end of Sorceress Sellen’s questline, but you can do it at any other point where you are able to attack him. The end of the questline is in the room outside of where you fight Rennala at the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

Ronin

The Ronin Armor set can be found on a corpse very close to the Zamor Ruins Lost Grace in the eastern region of the Mountaintops of the Giants.

White Reed

The White Reed armor set can be picked up off a corpse in the gorgeous Spiritcaller Cave in near the Freezing Lake in the Mountaintops of the Giants. The cave itself is a fun little stealth area where you have to sneak around crouched in bushes to defeat the Summoning Snails. I highly recommend playing through this cave even if you don’t care about the armor set.

Land of the Reeds

The Land of the Reeds armor set is the starting armor for the Samurai class and can be purchased from the Isolated Merchant in northwest Caelid.

Mixed Iron

The Mixed Iron armor set can be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant camped out near the Castle Morne Rampart Lost Grace on the Weeping Peninsula in southern Limgrave.

Kaiden

The Kaiden armor set is dropped by Kaiden Sellsword enemies that are often found on horseback in Limgrave. You don’t really encounter them too much past the very early game outside of maybe alongside caravans.

The best spot I’ve found to farm them is at a camp in between the Agheel Lake North and Murkwater Coast Lost Graces where you’ll find 6 of the enemy alongside some wolves.

Three of them are on horseback riding around in between the camp area and Agheel Lake North while 3 are actually at the camp. Unfortunately, the farming might take a bit longer than you’d expect because they can drop a unique weapon as well as raisins for your horse.

I think the quickest way to do farm them is to just go back and forth between the 2 Lost Graces. Remember to take out the birds you see along the way so you can make some Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet.

Exile

The Exile armor set is found exclusively near Stormveil Castle. You’ll encounter enough Exiled Soldiers by the time you’re finished with that dungeon to have several full sets. If you don’t like the Thor impression with the scarf thing, it stays down with most other helmets.

Surcoat Series

There are 8 different surcoats belonging to the soldiers of the various factions of the lands between. Their armor sets each feature very similar helmets, gloves, and pants with the only significant difference being the pattern and coloration of the surcoat.

Chain

The Chain armor set can be purchased from Kalé, the very first merchant you meet, at the Church of Elleh in Limgrave.

Champion (Nepheli)

The Champion’s armor set is the starting armor for the Hero class and can be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant in southern Caelid somewhat near the Southern Aeonia Swamp Bank lost grace.

Nox Monk

The pants and gloves are shared by the Nox Monk, Nox Swordstress, and Night Maiden sets and just are called Nox Bracelets and Nox Greaves. The only place to find this enemy is in Nokestella, Eternal City.

Nox Swordstress

The pants and gloves are shared by the Nox Monk, Nox Swordstress, and Night Maiden sets and just are called Nox Bracelets and Nox Greaves. The only place to find this enemy is in Nokstella, Eternal City.

Night Maiden

The pants and gloves are shared by the Nox Monk, Nox Swordstress, and Night Maiden sets and just are called Nox Bracelets and Nox Greaves. This enemy can be found in both Nokron and Nokstella, Eternal Cities.

Rotten Duelist

There are only 3 pieces of the Rotten Duelist armor set; for some reason, the bracers are part of the chest. Each piece drops from defeating a Rotten Duelist at a specific location in the western region of the Mountaintops of the Giants (Haligtree land).

Vulgar Militia

This is the armor worn by the teeny tiny soldiers that sometimes try to ambush you. There are a lot of Vulgar Militiamen present near the Bestial Sanctum in northeast Caelid as well as in the Forbidden Lands, which is the stretch of road leading from Lyndell, Royal Capital to the Grand Lift of Rold.

Foot Soldier Series

This series of armors is similar to the Surcoat series, but the designs are even less distinct from one and other. They really only vary slightly in color palette. Foot Soldiers can be found wherever you’ll find soldiers as the basic enemy in the area. There is a variant of the Foot Soldier armor called the Highwayman Armor that I think can only be found in the Murkwater Cave in Limgrave where you first meet Patches. The Highwayman set does not have unique pants.

Omenkiller

The Omenkiller helmet is found separately from the rest of the armor. The armor drops from defeating the Omenkiller at the Perfumer’s Ruins in western Atlus Plateau while the helmet, called Omensmirk Mask, drops off the Omenkiller in Lyndell, Royal Capital.

Confessor

The Confessor armor set is the starting armor for the Confessor class and can be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant at Mt. Gelmir in western Atlus Plateau.

Bandit

The Bandit armor set is the starting armor for the Bandit class. The Bandit Mask can be purchased from a Nomadic Merchant in northern Limgrave while the rest of the armor set can be purchased from Gatekeeper Gostoc. If you don’t buy it from him before defeating Godrick the Grafted, you’ll have to wait until he stops using Godrick as a trampoline and goes into the throne room after you complete Nepheli’s quest.

Raptor

The Raptor armor set uses the Bandit pants and gloves, which you can purchase from Gatekeeper Gostoc (see above entry for more info) while the helmet and chest are located in a chest hidden behind an illusion wall in the Sage’s Cave in Atlus Plateau.

Nomadic Merchant

The Nomadic Merchant armor set can be found past the illusory wall in the Cathedral of the Forsaken in the Subterranean Shunning Grounds on your way to meet the Three Fingers. The armor set is on a corpse, but the corpse is in a tent. The only way to destroy the tent is to get one of the few enemies patrolling around to spit frenzy at it.

War Surgeon (White Mask Varré)

The War Surgeon armor set drops off an invading War Surgeon in the blood lake that preceding Mohgwyn’s Dynasty Masoleum.

The only way to access Mohgwyn’s Palace area is by using a teleporter in the western region of the Mountaintops of the Giants (Haligtree side).

Noble (Roderika)

The Noble’s armor set and Navy Hood can be found on a corpse at the East Windmill pasture in northern Atlus Plateau. The Crimson version of the hood can be found on the pile of Chrisalids where you initially find the Chrisalid’s memento for Roderkia, though it will only appear after you have completed Roderika’s questline and she has learned how to perform Spirit Tuning.

Blue Cloth Warrior

The Blue Cloth Warrior armor set is the starting armor for the Warrior class and can be purchased from an Isolated Merchant near the Academy of Raya Lucaria in Liurnia. The only way to access this merchant is by walking past the floating seal at the Main Academy Gate (after you warp with the Glintstone Key).

Leather (Patches)

The Leather armor set can be obtained from Patches either by taking him down whenever you see him or if you progress too far, you can find his armor and bell bearing in Murkwater Cave in central Limgrave. The matching Black Hood can be obtained from a chest in the Sage’s Cave at the Atlus Plateau. The Black Hood is in a chest behind a hidden wall. The Murkwater Cave may also be the only place in the game where you can fight Highwaymen and farm to get the Highwayman armor.

Sanguine Noble

The Sanguine Noble armor set drops when you defeat an invading Sanguine Noble in the western region of the Mountaintops of the Giants (Haligtree side) near the portal to Mohgwyn’s Palace.

This armor set does not have any gloves. It’s a shame they didn’t make those chain bracelets into the glove piece.

The set is featured in my Bleed Build for Shadow of the Erdtree. You can put it together along the path to unlock the Land of Shadow.

Godskin Noble

Do you feel that you don’t get to see enough huge breasts in your life? Ya boi Hidetaka Miyazaki has got you covered because he’s gonna let you look at them all day when you’re running around!

…alongside a gigantic hairy bellybutton! It seems this Godskin Noble managed to get their hands on Smough’s skin!

In all seriousness, the Godskin Noble armor set drops from a Godskin Noble that you fight on the bridge from Carian Study Hall to the Divine Tower of Liurnia. In order to gain access to this bridge, you’ll need to retrieve the Fingerslayer Blade from Night’s Sacred Ground in Nokron, Eternal City and give it to Ranni the Witch at Ranni’s Rise at Caria Manor and she’ll give you a thing to place on the altar at Carian Study Hall.

Godskin Apostle

The Godskin Apostle’s armor set is drops from defeating the Godskin Apostle boss at the base of the Divine Tower of Caelid.

Fur and Horns

The Fur and Horns armor set is dropped by the Ancestral Follower Warriors, which are most commonly found in Siofra River and the Ancestral Woods in Nokron, Eternal City, though they can also be found in a few other places above ground. If you’re looking to farm the armor set, you might want to wait until you get access to the Ancestral Woods since you’ll also get to work towards the Shaman set at the same time. There are no gloves associated with this armor set.

Shaman

The Shaman armor set is worn by the Ancestral Follower Shamans. They aren’t as accessible early on in the game because they aren’t found in the lower part of the Siofra River. You have to wait at least until defeating Starscourge Radahn to enter Nokron where you’ll find the Shamans in the Ancestral Woods. You can also find Shamans singing in the Consecrated Wastes in the western region Mountaintops of the Giants (Haligtree side). There are no gloves associated with this armor set.

Marais

The Marais Mask and Robe drop from defeating Maleigh Marais just to the west of the Shaded Castle on the Atlus Plateau.

Consort (Tanith)

The Consort Armor set is only accessible after you defeat Rykard at the Volcano Manor. After you defeat him, talk to Tanith and she will leave. Reload the area and then travel to where you fought Rykard and you’ll see Tanith trying to eat Rykard’s corpse to save his life. You can attack Tanith and she’ll summon her Crucible Knight bodyguard. Once the bodyguard is defeated, the Consort Armor will drop where Tanith was munching. The pants are sold separately by the Hermit Merchant in northern Lyndell near the Minor Erdtree and there are no gloves for this set.

Ruler (Kenneth Haight)

The Ruler’s Mask and Robe can be picked up off a corpse in the apparent caravan receptacle for the Lands Between on the Atlus Plateau. This set does not have any pants or gloves, though the Consort’s pants should work well.

Depraved Perfumer

The Depraved Perfumers are far less common than regular Perfumers. They are primarily only found at the Shaded Castle in northern Atlus Plateau.

Perfumer

The Perfumer armor set drops off regular Perfumer enemies, which tend to be found in the mid and late game. There are numerous ones found at the beginning of Lyndell, Royal Capital, but if you don’t have access to that area, you can also find 2 at the Perfumer Ruins on the Atlus Plateau near a quick respawn from the Unsightly Catacombs.

Traveler Perfumer

The Traveler Perfumer armor set is located in the Street of Sages Ruins in Aeonia in Caelid.

Sage (Gowry)

The Sage armor set does not drop off Gowry, though he’s still worth taking down if you’re using Incantations because he drops Flock’s Canvas Talisman for some reason. It greatly increases the potency of Incantations, though I’ve heard it might only be a damage boost, not a healing one.

The Sage armor set itself can be found in Stillwater Cave, right beneath the back exit from Stormveil Castle in Liurnia.

Finger Maiden

The Finger Maiden’s armor set can be found alongside a Sacred Tear at the Church of Inhibition in Liurnia near the Frenzy-Flaming Tower and Frenzied Flame Village. Doesn’t seem like they were preaching inhibiting themselves from snacking on Eyes of Yellogh berries.

Traveling Maiden (Hyetta)

The Traveling Maiden’s armor set is located at the Shack of the Lofty in the central (but still eastern) region of the Mountaintops of the Giants.

Prophet (Corhyn)

The Prophet armor set is the starting armor for the Prophet class and can be purchased from the Hermit Merchant in Lyndell on the Atlus Plateau. Corhyn’s more intricate robes can be taken off his corpse.

Fia

Fia’s armor set can be claimed at the end of her quest down at the Prince of Death’s Throne Room. Her armor set only includes the head and chest piece.

Snow Witch (Ranni)

The Snow Witch armor set is located in a chest at the top of the ladder at Renna’s Rise at Caria Manor in Liurnia. The seal is removed after completing Ranni’s quest. There are no gloves for this set.

Queen (Rennala)

The Queen’s armor set can be purchased from Finger Reader Enia at Roundtable Hold after defeating Rennala at the Academy of Raya Lucaria.

Lusat

Lusat’s armor set can be found by returning to Primeval Sorcerer Lusat after siding with Sorceress Sellen after completing her quest. Lusat is only accessible at all by doing Sellen’s quest. Lusat is located at the back of the Sellian Hideaway cave. For more information, check out my guide All Legendary Sorceries and Incantations in Elden Ring, specifically the section on Stars of Ruin.

Azur

Azur’s armor set can be found by returning to Primeval Sorcerer Azur after siding with Sorceress Sellen after completing her quest. Unlike Lusat, Azur is accessible even without completing Sellen’s quest, but you will not be able to obtain Azur’s armor set without doing Sellen’s quest.

Azur is located on Mt. Gelmir, and in order to reach him the first time, you must trek all the way around the volcano starting from Seethwater River. Thankfully, when you return, there is a Lost Grace that will take you right to him. If you want more in-depth information, check out the entry on Comet Azur in my guide on Legendary Sorceries and Incantations in Elden Ring.

Azur’s and Lusat’s armor sets both share the same pair of pants called Old Sorcerer’s Legwraps.

Preceptor (Seluvis)

Preceptor Seluvis’ armor will become available to you at Seluvis’s Rise at Caria Manor in Liurnia late into Ranni’s quest.

Alberich

Alberich’s armor set can be picked up off a corpse at the Roundtable Hold replica in Lyndell, Capital City in the same spot where you fought Mad Tongue Alberich as an invader in Roundtable Hold.

Spellblade (Sorcerer Rogier)

The Spellblade armor set will become available after you complete Rogier’s quest back at the Roundtable Hold. You first meet Sorcerer Rogier at Stormveil Castle.

Errant Sorcerer (Hierodas)

The Errant Sorcerer armor set and Hierodas Glintstone Crown can both be looted off separate corpses in Hermit Village on Mt. Gelmir. Hermit Village is your last major stop on your pilgrimage to visit Primeval Sorcerer Azur.

Battlemage (Haima)

The Battlemage set (including the Haima Glintstone Crown) drop off a specific Battlemage in northern Atlus Plateau near the West Windmill Pasture.

Lazuli Sorcerer

The Lazuli Sorcerer armor set is comprised of the Lazuli Robe, Lazuli Clintstone Crown, and Sorcerer Manchettes and Leggings. The Manchettes and Leggings can drop off of basically any Raya Lucarian, but the Robe and Glintstone Crown are a bit trickier to get your hands on.

The Lazuli Glintstone Crown is found by defeating a specific crystal crab in the rafters of a tower at the Academy of Raya Lucaria. This tower is accessible on your path to obtaining the second Academy Glintstone Key and Azur’s Glintstone Staff. Check out my guide All Items at the Academy of Raya Lucaria for more detailed information on how to find the Lazuli Glintstone Crown.

The easiest way to farm the Lazuli Robe is to go to the School Classroom and snipe the single Lazuli Sorcerer as they walk through the doorway. If you’re a ranged build, you can do this while standing at the Lost Grace, allowing for extremely rapid resets.

Raya Lucarian Sorcerer (Sellen)

The Raya Lucarian Sorcerer armor set drops off of Raya Lucarian Scholars, which are primarily found throughout the Academy of Raya Lucaria. There are 4 Glintstone Crowns (the stone helmets) located at the Academy of Raya Lucaria including Twinsage, Lazuli, Olvinus, and Karolos. Check out my guide All Items at the Academy of Raya Lucaria for more detailed information.

Sorceress Sellen’s helmet is called Witch’s Glintstone Crown and either drops from her if you defeat her or is given to you at the end of her quest.

Juvenile Scholar (Rennala’s Children)

The Juvenile Scholar armor set (only the hat and robe) is located at the Caria Manor cemetery in Liurnia near a bunch of albunaurics. It’s one of the rewards for finding the location where the Resurrection painting was made. You may also need to visit the painting before the ghost will appear and drop the reward. If you want to find out where all of the paintings and rewards are, check out my guide on paintings in Elden Ring.

Astrologer

The Astrologer armor set is the starting armor set for the Astrologer class. It can also be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant in southern Liurnia near the Liurnia Lake Shore Lost Grace.

Mushroom

The Mushroom Armor set can be looted off a corpse in Seethwater Cave on Mt. Gelmir at the Atlus Plateau.

Prisoner

The Prisoner armor set is the starting armor for the Prisoner class and can be purchased from the Nomadic Merchant in Ainsel River that’s behind the alien. This armor set does not have any gloves.

Guardian

The Guardian armor set is exclusively worn by enemies that protect the Minor Erdtrees scattered throughout the Lands Between. Since the Guardians tend to spend a lot of their time in the dirt, their armor is much dirtier than what you wear as a player.

Page

The Page armor set drops from Page enemies, which are mostly found in the mid game at Caria Manor and Lyndell, Royal Capital. There are no gloves for the Page armor set. Look out for their special explosive crossbow attack!

Commoner

The Commoner’s armor set is dropped by the weakest enemies in the game, Commoners. You’ll find them most often out in the open world, particularly alongside a caravan or digging through rubble at the behest of an Aristocrat. There are no gloves for this armor set.

Aristocrat

The Aristocrats are often seen supervising Commoners or “leading” large caravans. You probably won’t find too many in actual dungeons, so go explore the open world if you want to get this set. There are no gloves for this armor set.

Traveler (Millicent)

The Traveler armor set is located near the roots of the Haligtree in the second portion of the dungeon, Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree near a Scarlet Aeonia flower.

Farming Tips

If you come across an armor set on an enemy and you want to wear it too, you’ll have to take down that enemy over and over again until you get a full set. There are a few things you can do to make the process more efficient.

A big part of speeding up the process is increasing your Discovery stat, which governs the chance that enemies will drop something upon being defeated. Discovery can be increased directly, but it is also increased with your Arcane stat. 1 point of Arcane gives you 1 point of Discovery, so most of your benefits will come from things that boost Discovery directly

Silver Scarab Talisman

This Talisman directly increases your discovery stat by 75, so equip it!

The Silver Scarab Talisman can be found in a chest in the Hidden Path to the Haligtree catacombs you are placed into after taking the Lift of Rold down using the Haligtree Secret Medallions.

Silver-Pickled Fowlfoot

This is a crafted item that increases your Discovery stat by 50, so definitely make sure to have one active while farming.

Silver-Pickled Fowl Foot can be crafted once you have obtained Missionary’s Cookbook 3, which is located in the Smoldering Church right on the northern border between Limgrave and Caelid. You can also purchase a few Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet from Gatekeeper Gostoc at Stormveil Castle.

I’m not sure if it’s worthwhile to spend time farming crafting materials once you run out of Silver-Pickled Fowl Feet and its associated materials rather than just spend time on more attempts.

A single item can last long enough for multiple respawns and the 50 Discovery increase is huge compared to the rest of the ways to boost your farming efficiency, but you can’t teleport back to a Lost Grace, so you’ll have to run back instead, and that plus the farming of the materials can quickly eat up the time you save from possibly less runs overall. It’s unclear how much Discovery actually increases your chance to get the loot drop you’re after.

Silver Tear Mask

The Silver Tear Mask is a helmet that increases your Arcane by 8 at the cost of slightly reducing your physical damage dealt. It drops by defeating the Mimic Tear boss in Nokron, Eternal City.

Marika’s Soreseal and Scarseal

Marika’s Soreseal and Scarseal talismans boost your Arcane, and subsequently your item discovery. You can only equip one of them at a time, Marika’s Soreseal isn’t available until very late into the game, but boosts your Arcane by 5 while the Scarseal boost your Arcane by 3.

Marika’s Soreseal is locked in a Stonesword Key room near the Prayer Room in Elphael, Brace of the Haligtree.

Marika’s Scarseal is located in Nokron, Eternal City near where you fight the Dragonkin Soldier.

Respeccing and Godrick’s Great Rune

You can respec to reallocate some of your stats to Arcane, though this assumes you have a spare Larval Tear to give to Rennala.

At the very least, you should be able to rely on Godrick’s Great Rune using a Rune Arc to boost each attribute by 5, which will allow you can take off 5 of each stat that you’ve hit your desired threshold on to have it reapplied with the Rune while you move all that excess stat to Arcane. Remember, if you use Marika’s Soreseal or Scarseal, you can take off an additional 5 or 3 respectively of Intelligence or Faith. You can learn more about respeccing from the dedicated guide on how to respec in Elden Ring.
