About this armor

Weighs 2.7 and provides 4 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.

Its elemental protection is strongest against lightning (3.8) and weakest against holy (2.8). Choose the piece around the damage you are facing.

Costs 1,000 runes from the merchant described below. The shop has one copy of this piece, so resting does not refill it after purchase.

In-game description

Cowl of a nomadic warrior.

The blue color of its fabric symbolizes brisk waters, as fluid and flowing as the sword in the hand of its wearer.

Just as still waters turn foul, stagnation leads to decay.

Warriors must remain ever drifting.

Where to find

Merchant on the academy bridge

Liurnia of the Lakes

Starting Site of Grace: Main Academy Gate

Before you go

  • Have 1,000 runes.
  • Have the Academy Glintstone Key to use the South Raya Lucaria Gate seal on this route.
  1. Find Glintstone Dragon Smarag on the small rocky island west of Raya Lucaria. Take the Academy Glintstone Key from the corpse behind the dragon; killing it is optional.
  2. Return to South Raya Lucaria Gate and use the key on the blue seal to reach Main Academy Gate. Activate the grace there.
  3. Walk onto the bridge extending southeast from the grace. Pass through the floating blue seal on foot without using its travel prompt, then continue down the bridge past the wolves to the merchant.
  4. Open Purchase and buy Blue Cloth Cowl for 1,000 runes.
