6 Best Elden Ring Mage Armor Sets & Locations

Two armor sets have the vibe and the appearance of a supreme sorcerer in Elden Ring, and Lusat’s armor set is one of these two. Stats and fashion-wise, this armor set offers the highest magic damage resistance, and wearing this would be a perfect idea if you’re revisiting Raya Lucaria Academy while playing PvE or Coop or dueling an opponent who happens to be a mage. Also, read my Master Lusat guide and learn everything in detail.

The best part of Lusat’s armor set is that the headpiece increases the overall attack power of primeval sorceries by consuming more FP. This reason alone is good enough for you to equip the armor set and use primeval sorceries against foes in the game when playing as a mage.

Combine all these elements, and you will see for yourself why I think Lusat’s armor set is the best mage armor in Elden Ring to deal with high sorcery damage.

As mentioned earlier about two superior mage armor sets in Elden Ring, the first one is Lusat’s set, which I discussed above, and the second is Azur’s Glintstone set.

This mage armor set, too, is a sight to behold as from the headpiece to shoulders, the outfit features green glintstone crystals, and the overall appearance of the armor set radiates with the master of magic appeal. 

Like Lusat’s Set, the headpiece of Azur’s Glintstone increases the overall attack power of Azur’s primeval sorcery spells. As far as my experience and knowledge of Elden Ring, I think Comet Azur (the obvious one), Comet, and Glintstone Cometshard are the only three spells that fall under Azur’s primeval sorcery spells category. 

Of course, the increased attack power of Azur’s primeval sorceries comes at a price of extra 15% consumption of FP. As a result, if you equip Azur’s Glintstone Crown armor headpiece, you will get 15% increased damage on both Comet spells and 10% on Cometshard one. 

There are not many mage boss armor sets in Elden Ring that you can showcase to friends in CO-OP or duelists in PvP. However, the Queen of the Full Moon armor set that is worn by the Rennala boss is one of the best light armor sets that favor a magic build player in the game. Besides the stat buff that you get in intelligence scaling, this armor set also looks cool.

Obtaining the Queen of the Full Moon armor set is not an easy task, so I suggest you to follow these steps:

• Traverse through Raya Lucaria Academy, evading many obstacles.
• You have to defeat The Red Wolf of Radagon before reaching Rennala’s boss arena.
• The armor is then purchased from Enia in the Roundtable Hold after besting Rennala.

If you are having trouble fighting Rennala and want to carry a mage build, then I advise use the Godskin Noble Set with just a one point d weight difference and almost the same stats.

The next good mage armor in Elden Ring that I think is out there is the Preceptor’s armor set. Why? Well, for one, the headpieces and the overall attire and appeal of this armor set comprehend the playstyle of a mage player in Elden Ring. Two, the headpiece increases the Mind stat by compromising the overall Stamina a little.   

If you want to fancy the mage build playstyle in Elden Ring by wearing the Preceptor’s armor set, then you will need to obtain all four set-pieces: Preceptor’s Big Hat, Preceptor’s Long Gown, Preceptor’s Gloves, and Preceptor’s Trousers. If you’ve reached the far end of Carian Manor, then you’d have the idea that Preceptor Seluvis NPC wears this outfit, and he is usually found in Three Sisters Site of Grace. 

So, in order to acquire Preceptor Seluvis’s armor set, you can kill him to obtain the complete set along with Seluvis’s Bell Bearing. Or, the good way to obtain the same mage armor set is by completing Ranni’s quest line. Also, consider reading my Bell Bearing locations guide and learn how to get them all in the game.

I have discussed various armor sets that buff a set of sorcery spells, but this amazing armor set also buffs the cold sorcery spells. If you are a mage build player in the game and want to cast frost status effect inflicting sorceries, then Snow Witch Set might be the one you need.

To fancy the complete outfit for your mage character in the game, you must collect and equip all three mage armor set pieces; Snow Witch Hat, Snow Witch Robe, and Snow Witch Skirt. While most armor sets come with four armor set pieces, this one comes with only three, and that is why the Snow Witch armor set may be the right choice for you if you are looking to equip a mid-to-high damage-negating set in the game. 

• To acquire this armor set, you need to access the upper floor of Renna’s Rise, located at the far end of Carian Manor.
• However, to reach here, you must first make certain progress with Ranni’s questline.
• Without the progression, the access to the floor will be out of bounds for you. 

Most mage armors that you see in my list are curated for sorcery or intelligence scaling players. However, Alberich’s armor set is an exclusive armor set that buffs the Aberrant Sorceries in Elden Ring. 

Now, Aberrant sorceries are still magic spells in the game. However, you do not need intelligence scaling to cast them. Instead, you will need to have a faith build in Elden Ring to use aberrant sorceries. That is why if you are an aberrant sorcery player, then there is no parallel to Alberich’s set in the game.

In order to acquire all four set pieces of Alberich’s armor set; Alberich’s Pointed Hat, Alberich’s Robe, Alberich’s Bracers, and Alberich’s Trousers,

• You will need to reach the Leyndell, Royal Capital area of Elden Ring.
• Once you’re there, go to the main hall, and at the far end, you find the complete armor set to collect.
