Where to find
Merchant below Stargazers' Ruins
Mountaintops of the Giants
Starting Site of Grace: Ancient Snow Valley Ruins
Before you go
- Have 1,000 runes.
- Defeat Morgott and use the Rold Medallion to reach the Mountaintops on this route.
- 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.

- 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.
- 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.
