About this armor
Weighs 4 and provides 7 poise. Include weapons and talismans when keeping your equipment load below the medium-roll limit.
Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicate pieces and empty kills are still possible.
Its strongest elemental protection is Fire at 3.4%, and its weakest is Lightning at 2.8%. These reduce incoming damage; they do not increase your own attacks.
In-game description
Helm worn by Kaiden sellswords.
These hulking, fearless mercenaries, said to hail from the mountaintops of the wintry north, are adept at fighting on horseback.
Kaiden is the name of their home settlement.
Where to find
Kaiden camp northeast of Agheel Lake North
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Agheel Lake North
- Start at Agheel Lake North, east-southeast of Gatefront Ruins. Ride northeast toward Murkwater Coast while staying on the upper grassy ground rather than descending into the river ravine.
- Find the Kaiden camp between the two graces. The targets are the large fur-clad swordsmen at the campfire and the mounted patrols around the camp.
- Separate the wolves and nearby swordsmen before drawing the mounted enemies. The resting swordsman beside the campfire is another eligible armor drop, even if it has not attacked you.
- Defeat the swordsmen, collect their drops and rest at Agheel Lake North or Murkwater Coast to repeat. Killing only a horse does not give its rider's armor.
Notes
- Weighs 4 and provides 7 poise. Include weapons and talismans when keeping your equipment load below the medium-roll limit.
- Has a base 3% drop chance per eligible enemy at 100 Discovery. Higher Discovery improves the chance; duplicate pieces and empty kills are still possible.
- Its strongest elemental protection is Fire at 3.4%, and its weakest is Lightning at 2.8%. These reduce incoming damage; they do not increase your own attacks.
- The fur-clad Kaiden Sellswords drop the four pieces separately. Dismounter and other loot have separate rolls, and killing a mount does not guarantee the rider's gear.
- The outfit has no mounted-damage or curved-greatsword bonus. Its appearance does not limit it to a Samurai or another starting class.
- No piece can be tailored. The fur and cloth on the chest are part of its single available appearance.
