About this armor
Weighs 3.6 and provides 6 poise. The full outfit weighs 19.6 and gives 36 poise, excluding weapons and talismans.
Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicates and empty kills are still possible.
Gilded Foot Soldier Cap and Leather-Draped Tabard are the two regional pieces. Their gold trim does not give a Faith or Holy-damage bonus.
In-game description
Flanged cap made from gilded iron.
Issued to foot soldiers protecting the royal capital of Leyndell.
Where to find
Leather-tabard Foot Soldiers southwest of the junction
Altus Plateau
Starting Site of Grace: Altus Highway Junction
- Reach Altus Plateau using Grand Lift of Dectus with the medallion halves from Fort Haight and Fort Faroth, or climb Ruin-Strewn Precipice and defeat Magma Wyrm Makar.
- From the southern plateau entrance, follow the main road east-northeast to the large fork and activate Altus Highway Junction grace.
- Search the roadside soldiers and the camp area southwest of the junction, before climbing the huge staircase toward the capital walls. The mounted knight and ballista crews can join the fight, so draw ordinary soldiers away first.
- Target the lightly armored Foot Soldiers in Leather-Draped Tabards and gilded caps, including the patrol southwest of the junction. Their equipment is different from Erdtree Surcoat and the heavy knight armor.
- Collect their glowing drops and rest at Altus Highway Junction to repeat for Gilded Foot Soldier Cap and Leather-Draped Tabard.
- For the shared Foot Soldier Gauntlets and Foot Soldier Greaves, use the Godrick Foot Soldier farm in Limgrave. The outdoor Altus route does not require entry into Leyndell.
Notes
- Weighs 3.6 and provides 6 poise. The full outfit weighs 19.6 and gives 36 poise, excluding weapons and talismans.
- Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicates and empty kills are still possible.
- Gilded Foot Soldier Cap and Leather-Draped Tabard are the two regional pieces. Their gold trim does not give a Faith or Holy-damage bonus.
- The full outfit uses shared Foot Soldier Gauntlets and Foot Soldier Greaves. The Limgrave farm supplies those two pieces, not the gilded cap and leather tabard.
- The regional pieces cannot be tailored. The selected farm is outside the capital and remains available after Leyndell changes.
