About this armor
Weighs 3.6 and provides 6 poise. Include weapons and talismans when keeping your equipment load below the medium-roll limit.
Has a base 1.5% 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 Lightning at 4%, and its weakest is Magic at 3.8%. These reduce incoming damage; they do not increase your own attacks.
In-game description
Helm worn by lean, mean, and filthy militiamen.
The upward extension serves to create an appearance of larger size, however slightly.
Where to find
Vulgar Militiamen north of Farum Greatbridge
Greyoll's Dragonbarrow
Starting Site of Grace: Farum Greatbridge
- Reach Third Church of Marika in eastern Limgrave. Search the bushes in the water just north of the church for the sending gate and use it to travel to Bestial Sanctum.
- Activate the grace inside the sanctum. Leave and ride south around the huge black guardian outside the doors, giving it room instead of starting that optional fight.
- Follow the descending road to Farum Greatbridge grace before the dragon's bridge. Stay north of the bridge and search the grassy slopes for the short crouching Vulgar Militiamen.
- Draw out the small enemies one at a time and check their drops. They hit hard in this region even when reached early, so avoid fighting several together.
- Rest at Farum Greatbridge to reset the farm. Neither Black Blade Kindred nor the dragon on the bridge needs to be defeated.
Notes
- Weighs 3.6 and provides 6 poise. Include weapons and talismans when keeping your equipment load below the medium-roll limit.
- Has a base 1.5% 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 Lightning at 4%, and its weakest is Magic at 3.8%. These reduce incoming damage; they do not increase your own attacks.
- The short Vulgar Militiamen drop the pieces separately. Their saw and shotel are different weapon drops, rather than part of an all-at-once armor reward.
- This is different from the dark Shadow Militiaman outfit in the Realm of Shadow. Farming the Dragonbarrow enemies will not give the Shadow hood.
- The outfit does not increase stealth, backstab damage, Blood Loss or Poison. Its resistance values delay buildup rather than granting complete immunity.
- No piece has a tailoring variant. There is no cape-removal option for the regular chest.
