Gehrman's Hunter Garb ❘ ゲールマンの狩装束

Attire

In-Game Description

    Hunter attire of Gehrman, the first hunter.

    Created before the workshop existed by making adjustments
    to everyday clothing, and later became the basis for all
    hunter's garb.

    The hunter's emphasis on engaging beasts with speed, and
    therefore of selecting lightweight attire, no doubt traces back
    to Gehrman's own combat style.
Note 1: The same in-game description in US & UK versions. ✓
Note 2: Original Japanese text on Original Japanese Item Index page. ✓

Overview

  • Each piece of attire contributes to your overall defense and changes your character's appearance. While different pieces of attire do have different effects, the changes are typically not drastic enough to override aesthetic considerations. Information on the highest defense combination of attire can be found on the Highest Defense Armor Sets page.
  • Gehrman's Hunter Garb has no highest stat in the chest piece category. This garb is part of the Gehrman's Hunter Set.


Availability

  • Sold by: Bath Messengers [Hunter's Dream]
  • Old Hunter Badge: You'll receive this badge after defeating Gehrman, The First Hunter in the Hunter's Dream; you cannot obtain it early by attacking him prior to the final sequence of events at the base. To fight Gehrman, you must refuse his offer to behead you and end the nightmare.

Clothing Defense

  • Clothing Defense is a percentage reduction after Physical DEF is applied. "Every 10 points of defense is 1% damage reduction." Each type is specific and separate in this category. The entry for "Physical" (read as, Physical damage that's not specifically Thrust or Blunt) doesn't apply to Thrust or Blunt damage, as they each have their own separate numbers. Separate items of clothing stack multiplicatively, rather than additively like you might expect. Hat, chest, arms, legs of 50, 100, 40, 40 respectively for example, would yield 212, or 1000 * (1 - (.95 * .9 * .96 * .96)), rather than 230.
  • Caryll Runes that affect damage resistance stack on top of your Clothing Defense. Note that the "Physical" defense rune increases Physical, Thrust, Blunt, and Blood. "Arcane" only affects Arcane, but not Bolt and Fire, which each have their own rune. These also stack multiplicatively on top of clothing (and each-other). A 5% rune would be like adding a clothing item with 50 defense in that category. In the example above, you'd go from 212 to 251 with a +5% rune. More information can be found in damage reduction page.

Hidden Equip Load

  • Despite hidden "Equip Load" being removed for stamina regeneration with patch 1.04 (more information on the Weight System page). It does affect the fall damage. Equip Load gets higher by equipping pieces of attire and right and left-hand weapons; furthermore, in the case of the weapons, even unequipped ones in your quick menu count. The higher the hidden "Equip Load," the more damage your character will take from the fall damage. Interestingly enough, pieces of attire from The Old Hunters DLC have no weight penalty; therefore, it is as if you would fall naked (more information on the Fall Damage page).

Notes

  • Available for purchase after obtaining Old Hunter Badge.
  • Visual glitch was discovered where you can temporarily glitch cape from your Gehrman's Hunter Garb if you use Yahar'gul teleport or portal traps in Chalice Dungeons. You need to equip any weapon your hunter puts on their back (Kirkhammer, Ludwig's Holy Blade, Burial Blade & Whirligig Saw) and enter the teleport. It is purely visual glitch only useful for you to see how the garb looks without the cape.

The physical stats for the Armor are
W / X / Y / Z:
  • W is Physical defense, has two special subtypes: blunt and thrust. Each physical attack is either normal physical, blunt, or thrust.
  • X is Blunt defense
  • Y is Thrust defense
  • Z is Blood defense: The Blood attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Blood Damage
 The elemental stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Arcane defense: The Arcane attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Arcane Damage
  • Y is Fire defense: The Fire attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Fire Damage
  • Z is Bolt defense: The Bold attribute dictates how resilient the Armor is to Bolt Damage
 The resistance stats for the Armor are
X / Y / Z:
  • X is Slow Poison resistance to slow poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Y is Rapid Poison resistance to rapid poisoning. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
  • Z is Frenzy resistance to the lure of frenzy. The higher this attribute, the more resistant you are.
 The higher this attribute, the closer you are to beasthood when temporary transformed. Grants a serious increase in ATK power, at the cost of a similarly serious decrease in defense. Points in beasthood thresholds:
  • 1-24: Phys ATK UP x1,2/DEF DOWN x0,8
  • 25-49: Phys ATK UP x1,3/DEF DOWN x0,7
  • 50-99: Phys ATK UP x1,4/DEF DOWN x0,6
  • 100-199: Phys ATK UP x1,5/DEF DOWN x0,5
  • 200-299: Phys ATK UP x1,6/DEF DOWN x0,4
  • 300+: Phys ATK UP x1,7/DEF DOWN x0,2
