About this set

Respawning war camp enemies south of Castle Front

Gravesite Plain

Starting Site of Grace: Castle Front

1. Enter the Realm of Shadow after defeating Starscourge Radahn and Mohg, Lord of Blood, by touching the withered arm in Mohg's arena.
2. From Gravesite Plain, ride north through Scorched Ruins and follow the road toward the great stone arch. Continue to Three-Path Cross grace beside the cross.
3. Take the eastern road from the cross toward Ellac Greatbridge. Cross the bridge, keeping clear of the soldiers and ballista fire, and activate Castle Front grace on the far side.
4. Turn south from Castle Front into the nearby war camp instead of entering Castle Ensis. Use the tents and stonework to draw out one enemy at a time.
5. Target the rank-and-file Common Soldiers wearing cloth and a dark tabard. The heavier red-and-black Messmer Soldiers and the large Black Knight drop different outfits.
6. Defeat the Common Soldiers, collect the glowing drops and rest at Castle Front to repeat. You do not need to defeat Rellana or clear Castle Ensis for this camp.

Notes

• The regular helm, chest, gauntlets and greaves weigh 21 together and provide 40 poise. This excludes weapons, shields and talismans.
• Farm the cloth-clad Common Soldiers, rather than the heavier Messmer Soldiers in the same camp. Each armor piece has its own drop roll.
• These pieces have no special attribute or weapon-damage bonus. Their soot-black appearance does not improve stealth or make you immune to Messmer's Flame.
• The cloth chest has no altered version. Its appearance is not a removable cloak option.
• Each eligible regular piece has a base 3% drop chance at 100 Discovery. The outfit is collected across separate random rolls, rather than awarded as one complete set.
• There is no extra matching-set bonus. You can mix the pieces with other armor without losing a hidden effect.
