Garb of one who has been admitted to study as a Neophyte.
Hidden lore — revealed in game at high Radiance
Only a small percentage of Dark Crusader postulants overcome the necessary trials and are inducted into the order as Neophytes, and fewer still are those who advance beyond - or even survive - this lengthy and hazardous early phase.

Part of the Dark Crusader order armor. Worn by the Dark Crusader order in the lore. Only one of these sets is the armor of the Dark Crusader starting class — the rest share the order, not the class.

Rest of the Neophyte set
Wearing all of them together carries no bonus — this game has none. They simply match.

How it compares
No standout stat — 66th of 95 chest pieces for physical defence, and similarly mid-table elsewhere. Worth wearing for its set or its look rather than its numbers.
