About this armor
Weighs 10.6 and provides 22 poise. The regular four-piece outfit weighs 24.7 and gives 47 poise, before weapons and talismans.
Has a base 1.5% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; a fixed number of kills does not guarantee the piece.
Its strongest elemental protection is Magic at 11.9%, and its weakest is Lightning at 7.1%. These are incoming-damage reductions.
In-game description
Armor worn by Raya Lucaria Academy soldiers.
The surcoat depicts twinned cuckoos peering into a flourishing mass of glintstone.
To a glintstone sorcerer, the body is a transient thing. The Cuckoo alone knows its insignificance, yet watches over it all the same.
Where to find
Soldiers on the southern academy approach
Liurnia of the Lakes
Starting Site of Grace: Academy Gate Town
- From Liurnia Lake Shore, ride northwest across the shallow lake, past Laskyar Ruins, toward the large flooded settlement beneath Raya Lucaria. Activate Academy Gate Town grace at its southern side.
- Follow the broken streets northwest toward the long stone approach to South Raya Lucaria Gate. Watch for the soldiers on the road and the flame-spitting siege weapon near the stairs.
- Target the ordinary soldiers in the blue Cuckoo Surcoat. The thin Foot Soldiers, spellcasting robed enemies and plumed Cuckoo Knights drop different clothing.
- Collect the glowing armor drops, then rest at Academy Gate Town to repeat. The Academy Glintstone Key is not required to farm these soldiers outside the sealed entrance.
Notes
- Weighs 10.6 and provides 22 poise. The regular four-piece outfit weighs 24.7 and gives 47 poise, before weapons and talismans.
- Has a base 1.5% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; a fixed number of kills does not guarantee the piece.
- Its strongest elemental protection is Magic at 11.9%, and its weakest is Lightning at 7.1%. These are incoming-damage reductions.
- Cuckoo Surcoat is the chest piece. Despite that name, it comes from ordinary Raya Lucarian Soldiers, not only the plumed Cuckoo Knights.
- The armor does not raise Intelligence, FP or sorcery damage. The school's sorcerer robes and glintstone crowns are separate equipment.
- None of the four pieces has an altered version. Weapon, shield and ammunition drops do not guarantee an armor piece.
