Compare body armor
The ten same-slot pieces closest in weight to Preceptor's Long Gown (Altered). Lower weight is lighter; higher poise, negation and resistance provide more protection. Negation differences are percentage points.
Body armor compared with Preceptor's Long Gown (Altered)
The regular gown weighs 6.3 and provides 12 poise. The altered version weighs 3.2 and provides 7; tailoring also changes its protection and resistances.
The regular outfit is collected from Seluvis's body after his part of Ranni's quest ends. Killing or attacking him is not required for this route.

Reach the western Liurnia road and follow it north through Kingsrealm Ruins. Strike the illusory wall blocking the road at the northern end, then continue past Iji at Road to the Manor.
Ride toward the large manor while avoiding the magical strikes falling along the approach. Activate Main Caria Manor Gate grace at the entrance.
Inside, follow the courtyard path northwest toward the building in the far corner. Fingercreepers hide among the plants and beneath the ground; do not stop on a buried hand.
Enter the building with the seated spirit and climb its stairs to Manor Lower Level grace.
Take the elevated walkways east and continue straight along the main route at the first junction. Spectral soldiers appear along the bridges. Reach the far building and take its lift up to Manor Upper Level.
Leave the upper grace, pass the wolves in the garden and climb the main stone stairway toward the Troll Knight and sorcerers.
Continue up the stairs beyond the troll and Pages to the large circular courtyard. Defeat Royal Knight Loretta, then activate Royal Moongazing Grounds grace.
Leave through the rear exit into Three Sisters. Ranni's Rise is the western tower; climb to Ranni and agree to serve her.
Speak to the servant projections downstairs, including Seluvis, then return to finish Ranni's conversation. Go to Seluvis's Rise, the tower southwest of hers.
Defeat Starscourge Radahn at the Radahn Festival in Redmane Castle. His defeat opens the starfall crater in Limgrave; it is not the sealed Siofra River overlook reached from the Four Belfries.
Return to the Mistwood near Fort Haight and find the new crater marked by floating rocks. Use the descending ledges and openings to enter Nokron, Eternal City.
Follow the rooftops down into Nokron's streets, then continue to the Mimic Tear boss. Defeat it and cross the long bridge beyond the arena.
Leave the bridge on the left where it opens into woodland. Follow the western cliff to Ancestral Woods grace, overlooking the lower rooftops.
From beside the grace, drop to the roof below. Follow the roofs and narrow building ledges, fighting or avoiding the Silver Tears, until you can cross the broken stone arch into the large church.
Descend to the church's lower floor and watch the enormous rolling ball. Leave through the main doorway and go down to Night's Sacred Ground grace.
Follow the lower street past the Silver Tears toward the enormous seated skeleton. Climb the stairs below its throne and open the chest for Fingerslayer Blade. The nearby locked side room for Mimic Tear Ashes is not needed for this chest.
Finish any optional Seluvis rewards you want before handing in the blade, especially Magic Scorpion Charm. Giving Ranni the blade ends his living quest progression.
Return to Ranni's Rise, give her Fingerslayer Blade and finish her dialogue to receive the Carian Inverted Statue. Rest or reload Three Sisters afterward.
Go to Seluvis's Rise southwest of Ranni's tower. Loot Seluvis's body on the ground floor for the Big Hat, Long Gown, Gloves and Trousers. The bell bearing is a separate part of the same aftermath.
If needed, defeat the two Demi-Human Chiefs in Coastal Cave on Limgrave's western beach to obtain the ordinary Tailoring Tools.
At a grace, choose Alter garments and pay 500 runes to alter the regular robe. Tailoring changes the piece you own rather than making another copy, and can be reversed.
Select Preceptor's Long Gown to make its altered version.
Notes
Weighs 3.2 and provides 7 poise.
The regular gown weighs 6.3 and provides 12 poise. The altered version weighs 3.2 and provides 7; tailoring also changes its protection and resistances.
The regular outfit is collected from Seluvis's body after his part of Ranni's quest ends. Killing or attacking him is not required for this route.
Only the Big Hat has an attribute effect: three extra Mind at the cost of 9% maximum stamina. The gown, gloves and trousers do not increase sorcery damage or add further Mind.
Finish his optional quest rewards before giving Ranni Fingerslayer Blade. His bearing preserves his sorcery stock, but does not let you resume his unfinished living quest.
There is no extra matching-set bonus. The pieces can be mixed with other clothing, and armor cannot be reinforced or fitted with Ashes of War.
