Where To Buy Marcher’s Armor Set
You’re also able tobuy most of the armor set(minus the Expeditioner’s Cloak) within Vernworth.

It’s far easier to simply collect the armor from the nearby well, but if you’re eager for a second set, or you just can’t be troubled to take the detour while visiting the castle, Philbert’s got you covered.
