The Grand Surcoat Set is an armor set wearable by Warriors, Fighters, and Mystic Knights; the set is better than, and continues the theme set by the Plain Surcoat Set -that is a an armor with defense comparable to a heavy armor, with much better magic defence, at around half the weight, with a corresponding reduction to stagger and knockdown - unlike the plain set, the grand set is in materials of obvious quality, unfaded, with heraldry and coloration proclaiming a person of note. The set can be said to be that of a knight, rather than a would be knight.

The set as a whole as much the same resistances as the Plain Surcoat Set, that is, mild resistance to fire, ice, torpor, skill stifling and lowered defensice attributes; and adds some resitance to petrification, curse, possession and holy magic.

Alternative leg and arm armor are the Dark Over-Knee Boots and Darkened Gloves - these are to the same design, with improved defense, and higher value, both with dark resistances.

Suitable undergarments included the gambeson, or with the dark armor pieces the Brigandine Jerkin - any tough trousers are suitable, such as the Laborer's Breeches or Denim Hosen, or better.
