Right now the "Hierodas Flintstone Crown" is listed as being found in the Raya Lucaria Academy. However, it is located in the Hermit Village on Mt. Gelmir

Frozen Needle works similarly to wing of astel, in that sense that strong attacks fire a projectile

Frozen needle functions similar to wings of astel in that R2s shoot a projectile
New format is less useful than previous table. Please add an armor slot column for sorting?

Why are talismans on this page at all? It’s not like they have special effects, everything listed for them here is just their function. And there is an axe on the armor list.

Holy cow, who expanded all of the armor sets into each of their individual pieces?? It was just fine when the table said things like "Briar set deals 2 damage on roll per piece" and the such, this is just unnecessarily drawn-out

I'm sure someone in these comments has said this, but I love how all of the stat boosting pieces of armor look INCREDIBLY dumb. From was like, "Min/maxers, we got you. You can have everything you want, you just have to look stupid." And now when you go into a duel or invasion you know exactly what kind of player you're up against. 10/10

Perfumer's Shield is missing from the list.
https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Perfumer's+Shield
It gives 40 points of immunity (poison & scarlet rot). It's a pretty good pick for your "back" slot if you're two handing your weapons. It only weighs 1.5, and it makes a good parry tool as well.

Trying to find a specific chest piece. My brother and I got invaded by a guy wearing the ironclad armor from ds2. Prevents backstabs. Haven't been able to find it yet but also don't see it on wiki

Lusat's staff STILL doesn't have an additional multiplier for sorceries, it just has very good sorcery scaling, you will not benefit additionally from wearing 2 of them or while using another staff to cast.

Duelist Helm seems to also give Shabriri's Woe aggression effect.

Missing the omen dung eater set buff, gives 20% dmg increase to the item REGAL OMEN BAIRN that scales with int B and faith B

The damage reduction on scarabs isn't correct. It doesn't increase damage by ~5%, it has a total armor negation of -~5%
So if you're wearing a 10% heavy helm and put on a scarab, your total damage reduction will go down by 15%. If you're at 40% DR, that's a huge shift.

Guardian Garb(full-bloom) is missing, it has the effect of:
"Raises the HP recovery effects of the Flask of Crimson Tears, but greatly lowers fire damage negation.
It is said that the blood-red flowers blooming on their backs mark the senescence of their ancient pact. Perhaps the guardians are part tree already."

Golden Epitaph has same anti-revive effect as Golden Order Greatsword.

You guys missed one, Eclipse Greatshield gives a +50 bonus to Immunity, Robustness, and Focus

special effects on armor kinda feel skeweed towards head pieces. maybe they couldve varied it a little bit. like strength n dex buffs from gauntlets. equip load n health related ones from chest piece. endurance n roll n speed n sneak related ones from leg pieces.

The wiki is missing celebrant's skull (great hammer). Found in the same place as the celebrant's cleaver, same effect.

I was wondering why my comment was deleted, just figured it out, I listed the wrong shield, lol. The Jellyfish Shield's AoW also buff your primary WA by 20% for 20 seconds, it's stats and AoW make it one of, if not thee best in the game.

Visage Shield AoW also buffs primary weapon skill by 20% for 20 seconds, best in the game IMO.

Celebrants cleaver (axe dropped by villagers in windmill village) "grants trace amounts of runes upon landing attacks" (10 runes on any attack, but even a non-100% shield block seems to stop the effect)

Twinbird kite shield increases attack and defense while under 18% HP, unsure of the buff values though.

would've loved to see different pieces with special perks. like gloves which gives extra strength or dex. leg armor which would give endurance related perks (or fall dmg reduction or less noise). chest armor with hp or weight related perks maybe. most of the stuff is in head armor.

Pot helmet, given by Ironfist Alexander (I think after the Radahn Festival) Boosts the damage of pots by 15%~

Can't remeber what it's called; Briar i think. It gives thorns which damages on roll. A decent armour set too. Gotten by defeating boss of same name. Also drops a greatsword and a thorns tower shield. Bottom of mount gelmir in a posoin swamp castle.

Are there any gauntlets that touch FP when used? I thought Rogier's do, but they only tough Glintstone sorcery. I'm looking for something more broad.

Sacrificial Axe has FP recovery on kill.
Blasphemous Blade and Serpent-God's Curved Sword have HP recovery on kill.
The Jar hat gives the effect of the Companion Jar when worn.
The Rotten Duelist pieces gives the same affect as Shabriri's Woe.
The Black Knife Armor gives a slightly weaker version of Crepus' Vial, severely quieting the player's movements but not making them silent.
I'm sure there are loads more these are just the ones I've noticed on my character

That'd be so cool if each pieces would give stats and small effects.
Theorycrafting and build making could become even more interesting
(the characters might look weird if we mix everything though)
