Dark Souls 2 Top Ten Armor – Chest Pieces. August 20, 2014. The Drakeblood and the Elite Knight Armors will provide marginally equivalent protection. #7 Drakeeper Armor +10. A lucky drop from the hard hitting Drakekeepers, this is essentially a granite-black, slightly heavier version of Velstadt’s armor. Elite Knight armor from Dark Souls Permissions and credits Credits and distribution permission. Dark Souls - Elite Knight - Polish Translation: I know a lot of people were looking forward to this so here you go. Some bits of it are a little rough but I just wanted to finally release it. Will be fixing the texture issues and adding more.
Adds a set of heavy armor for male characters , two weapons and a shield from the Dark Souls series. You can find them inside the Whiterun Catacombs which is part of the Hall of the Dead of the city of Whiterun.
If you are still confused as to where it is click here
Alternatively there's an optional file with which you can craft all the pieces with the steel smithing perk.
I have changed a few things from the original mod. Now the armor is not a single piece but instead it's seperated into gauntlets , boots and cuirass with their own proper inventory icon and world model.
I have also removed the description from the equipment as it was not lore friendly and didn't allow the user to enchant certain items.
The armor is also temperable ( upgradeable ) with steel ingots.
Same goes for the weapons.
Its armor rating is about the same of that of the steel plate armor
It comes with 2 types of helmets.
The first one is closed , more protective and hides most of your character's face whereas the second one is semi open a tiny bit less protective and you can cleary see the face of your character.
Check the 'Images' tab for reference.

Place it anywhere in your load order. I would recommend somewhere in the mid to higher part of your load order. Should be compatitable with virtually everything.
You can safely install/uninstall mid playthrough.
Recommended mods :
I highly recommend using Bandolier - Bags and Pouches.
It is a fantastic mod and many of the items that come with it fit great with this armor , further enchancing the adventurous look and feel of the armor.
Known issues
-There's no weight slider support
-Type 2 Helmet clips on beast races
-The gloves when dropped don't behave properly
-When equipping the torso only without footwear you will get an invisible gap between the feet and the thigh
I tried to fix said issues ( which i believe were already part of the original mod ) but unfortunately i couldn't. If anyone has any idea as to how to correct those problems please contact me.
For the gloves i don't have the proper tools to make them work perfectly when dropped.
Do not contact the original author for any issues of this port.

EKS Helmet Def +10: 80
FKS Helmet Def: 47
FKS Helmet Def +10: 95
Chest
EKS Chest Def: 104

FKS LegggingsDef: 78
FKS LegggingsDef +10: 156
EKS Total Weight and Defense
Total Weight: 26.8
Total Defense +10: 475
FKS Total Weight and Defense
Elite Knight Armor Dark Souls 1 Blind Play Through
Total Weight: 30
Total Defense +10: 593
Both armor sets have very similar weight but regarding stats they start showing a significant difference when they are upgraded, in the end I see the Faraam set to be superior due to the cost benefit, the reason for this is that the Faraam Knight Set weighs 3.2 more than the Elite Knight Set but for 118 extra armor, better resitances and a superior durability compared to the Elite Knight Set (Faraam KS has 400 durability vs 85 of the Elite KS).
