About this armor

Weighs 1.2 and provides 2 poise.

Has a base 0.5% drop chance per eligible noble at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance, but long runs of empty kills are still possible.

Has no passive attribute, Rune, Discovery or spell-damage bonus. The noble family described in the clothing does not grant a combat effect.

In-game description

Valuable headband featuring fine goldwork.

Travel attire worn by nobles in the capital.

Abandoning their birthplace after the Shattering, these undead wanderers are the pitiful product of unending life.

Where to find

Kingsrealm Ruins

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Road to the Manor

  1. Follow western Liurnia's shore road north past Foot of the Four Belfries and Northern Liurnia Lake Shore to Kingsrealm Ruins.
  2. At the northern end of the ruins, strike the bricked-up archway to remove the false wall. Activate Road to the Manor grace beside Iji, then turn back south into the ruins.
  3. Target the nobles carrying sorcery staffs just beyond the opened archway. They cast spells and disappear before reappearing nearby, so watch for them moving around the broken walls.
  4. Collect their glowing drops and rest at Road to the Manor to repeat. Aristocrat Headband, regular Aristocrat Garb and Aristocrat Boots are separate rolls.
  5. Stay above ground. The hidden cellar's Royal Revenant, its Frozen Needle chest and the later Caria Manor boss are unnecessary for this farm.

Notes

  • Weighs 1.2 and provides 2 poise.
  • Has a base 0.5% drop chance per eligible noble at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance, but long runs of empty kills are still possible.
  • Has no passive attribute, Rune, Discovery or spell-damage bonus. The noble family described in the clothing does not grant a combat effect.
  • Aristocrat Headband, regular Aristocrat Garb and Aristocrat Boots weigh nine together and provide 21 poise. The headband is much rarer than the other two at the same Discovery.
  • Aristocrat Garb (Altered) must be farmed as its own drop. It saves 0.8 weight and two poise compared with regular garb, but neither version can be changed into the other through tailoring.
  • The Kingsrealm farm targets staff-carrying Noble Sorcerers. Farming only the leather-coated swordsmen for hours will not produce this headband.
