Ironclad Achievement, guides and tips

[Djape]

I wanted to be of some use for this notoriously irritating achievement which takes a lot of googling and double-checking of your inventory to complete. It wasn't too tough but the actual problem is that your most valuable site https://thelordsofthefallen.wiki.fextralife.com/Armor doesn't provide all of the necessary information for it.
I will not be writing about where to get the items as the site does have pretty good guides for most of them, the only problem is that it was missing some specific item drops that you could miss, I learned it the hard way with a 20h+ of double checking the inventory that doesn't have a sort button but luckily it sorts it by the sets, which sort of helps unless you find an item that doesn't match ANY of the sets.

As far as tips go, obviously you want to be using gear with extra item discovery rate, so if you're on NG+ you should be having 2x Bountiful Rings equipped, Umbral Eye of Ethyrg (30% discovery in umbral) in your secondary socket, a shield with 1-2 Nhelaq runes equipped is also pretty useful but honestly just the rings + socket is enough, since you will obviously have at least a stock of 50 Charmed paws and Lucky paws which you will use before you start grinding a mob, they stack so try to keep an even stock of them so you get twice the benefit
Note: Don't forget to constantly be in umbral

I'll also mention the ones that I realized I was missing through the site while organizing the list, it was usually like 1 piece of armor that was missing or sometimes even 2-3 since the drop rates are horrible, the sets in question were:
Blessed Carrion Knight, Shuja (both), Kinrangr (both), Skinstealer, Abbess, all 3 corrupted sets, pilgirm, awoved, etc.
As you can see by the pattern, some are even minibosses, but they will not drop ALL of the necessary set pieces, so you might have to end up finding a single Skinstealer and farming the hell out of him, it took me 50+ kills to get the Armour piece from him

Since I ran through the game quite a lot of times I learned where to the largest # of mobs for max farm profit, but you should go for Fextralife-Enemies if you can't recognize the name of the mob or to help yourself with the best farming spots

There are some optional sets that are mentioned on the list but I've marked them so you know that you don't actually need them, they're an event set and do not count towards the achievement. Also the 3 shrine sets (Bones, Adyr, Faithless) also aren't necessary and I do not have them, which is why they're put as 90-91-92 on the list, which might differ from your inventory. The whole purpose of the list is to help distinguish which items you're missing and also to mention the ones not included on the fextralife site, there's also a few items that apparently count but aren't mentioned anywhere since they aren't part of a set but unique pieces, those items are:

0. Melted Crown, Greifbound Dress, Martyr's Shackles - these items aren't mentioned on the site, there's also a set that wasn't mentioned (blessed Carrion Knight set) which is on the list below, as number 64).

I hope the list and tips were useful, the game is pretty good and fun but yeah this is one of the more annoying achievements I've ever done

[Blacksmith77K]

Reminds me at Demon's Souls... hours of using soulsucker on the same enemy in a Pure White World Tendency to get a stupid stone to maxed out something. Droprate of 0.001%

[Phantom Limb]

Those "optional" sets are not optional, they are not needed for this achievement at all, just like shrine rewards.

[gatsu86]

If anyone is missing any pieces, add me to your friends list so I can drop them in game for you.

P.s.1 Iselle & Andreas of Ebbs sets cannot be dropped from inventory (I don't know why).
P.s.2 Damarose, Andreas of Ebbs & Kukajin weapons can't be dropped.
P.s.3 Ammo types, throwable & spells can't be dropped.

# As long as I have the game installed it won't cost me anything to do it, but sooner or later I'll have to remove it to free up space for new games... so if you need the parts, hurry up. :)

Ye Phantom, wrote optional simply in case someone wants to get them and to follow the inventory based sort, was easier for me to track along with the site so i just kept it there to not ruin the sort lmao
Ye same here, also if someone needs help I need a few coins so I can accompany as well, 350 lvl spellcaster at your service

[Ichi-niiPL]

I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ did it, jesus this was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ annoying piece of crap. The moron who came up with drop rates and no tracking mechanism should be well... my opinion of what should be done to said individual would get me banned so i'll keep it to myself :P
