In-game description
Chest piece of a knight banished from their motherland.
Dirty and battered after enduring a lengthy vagabond journey.
The crest emblazoned on the front is worn and dingy, no longer able to evoke sentiment.
Metal armor is heavy, but also sturdy, offering significant damage negation.
Where to find
Merchant below Stargazers' Ruins, then tailoring at a grace
Mountaintops of the Giants
Starting Site of Grace: Ancient Snow Valley Ruins
Before you go
- Obtain Vagabond Knight Armor first.
- Defeat Morgott, receive the Rold Medallion and take the normal medallion route at the Grand Lift of Rold into the Mountaintops.
- Reach Ancient Snow Valley Ruins. Follow the frozen river north and then west to the spiritspring, and use it to reach the plateau toward Stargazers' Ruins.
- Find the bridge leaving the ruins toward the southeast. Just south of the bridge's beginning, take the descending ledge to the campfire below. The merchant is above the valley grace, not on the river floor.
- Speak to the Hermit Merchant and buy the pieces you want. The four regular pieces cost 4,500 runes in total.
- Find Coastal Cave on the beach below western Limgrave. Bring a torch or lantern, clear the cave and defeat the two Demi-Human Chiefs for the Tailoring Tools and Sewing Needle.
- Rest at a Site of Grace, choose Alter garments and select Vagabond Knight Armor to make Vagabond Knight Armor (Altered). This changes the item you already own; it does not create another copy.
Vagabond starting armor, then tailoring at a grace
Limgrave
Starting Site of Grace: Coastal Cave
Before you go
- Choose Vagabond as the starting class.
- Obtain the Tailoring Tools.
- Begin as Vagabond to receive the regular Vagabond Knight Armor.
- Reach Coastal Cave from the western Limgrave beach and defeat the two Demi-Human Chiefs for the Tailoring Tools and Sewing Needle.
- Rest at a grace, choose Alter garments and change the starting chest piece into Vagabond Knight Armor (Altered). This does not require reaching the Mountaintops merchant.
Notes
- Weighs 9.6 and provides 21 poise. Include the weight of your weapons and talismans when checking your equip load.
- Can be tailored into Vagabond Knight Armor. That version weighs 10.6 and provides 22 poise.
- The full bought set costs 4,500 runes: 1,000 for the helm, 1,500 for the armor and 1,000 each for the gauntlets and greaves.
- Vagabond starts with the regular outfit. Other classes can buy the same pieces later, and the armor has no restriction tying it to that starting class.
- Vagabond's initial heavy load also includes its equipped weapons. Unequipping the unused sword or halberd can restore a medium load without immediately discarding the armor.
- Tailoring the chest saves one weight and lowers its poise by one. With the other regular pieces, that makes 22.8 weight and 45 poise. It changes the piece you own rather than creating another armor piece.
- This piece has no passive attribute or attack bonus and cannot be reinforced with Smithing Stones. You can mix it with other armor without losing a hidden matching-set bonus.
