as we all know, there is no traditional armor in blade&soul. instead, armor equipment is in the form of outfits.there are an array of costumes in blade & soul with some selling in the cash shop and some farmable. for those who don't want to spend bns gold in those fancy items, in fact, you can solo farm a lot of costumes in the game. here's part of the list of costumes that you can solo farm.

dropped: last boss
drop rate: rare
