About this armor
Weighs 3.3 and provides 4 poise. The full outfit weighs 18.7 and gives 33 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.
The hood, chest and gauntlets drop from Highwaymen. Foot Soldier Greaves fill the leg slot in this outfit and come from the separate Limgrave Foot Soldier farm.
In-game description
Hideously stained and ragged hood.
Worn by former foot soldiers who have turned to banditry.
Where to find
Highwaymen in the first Murkwater Cave chamber
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Murkwater Cave
- Start at the northern shore of Agheel Lake and follow the stream north beneath the road bridge. Stay in the riverbed rather than searching the upper cliffs.
- Bloody Finger Nerijus invades on the approach to Murkwater Cave. Defeat him to clear the entrance; Yura can arrive to help if you survive the opening attacks.
- Enter the cave in the western wall of the ravine and activate Murkwater Cave grace. Follow the dark passage into the first bandit room.
- Look for the small bell traps stretched through the grass on the floor. Avoiding them lets you draw out fewer enemies at a time instead of alerting the whole room.
- Defeat the Highwaymen, collect their glowing drops and rest at the cave grace to repeat. Patches is in a separate chamber and does not need to be fought for this farm.
Notes
- Weighs 3.3 and provides 4 poise. The full outfit weighs 18.7 and gives 33 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.
- The hood, chest and gauntlets drop from Highwaymen. Foot Soldier Greaves fill the leg slot in this outfit and come from the separate Limgrave Foot Soldier farm.
- There is no separate item named Highwayman Greaves. Wearing the hood and chest does not add stealth, dagger damage or immunity to the cave's alarm traps.
- No Highwayman piece can be tailored. Farming the cave bandits does not require killing Patches or ending his quest.
