Assassin's Trousers are Relic light trousers from the base game, with a crafted variant and a looted variant. The crafted variant gives 30 armor and +350 vitality at level 11. Melusine drops a looted pair, and one always sits in the treasure chest for Not Only Eagles Dare. The crafted pair is early game, and looted pairs are common random loot, above all in Hearts of Stone content.

Both variants give +5% piercing, +5% bludgeoning and +15% slashing resistance. The looted variant gives 10-11 armor plus 2 per level and rolls +150-200 vitality. The crafted variant has the higher vitality.

Variants

Each variant has its own figures.

How to Get Assassin's Trousers

Relic (crafted): Find the diagram in the underwater hidden treasure far west of Refugees' Camp or at random diagram locations. Armorers in Novigrad, Oxenfurt and Skellige, the merchant at the sawmill northeast of Rannvaig and the merchant in Mohrin Village also sell it.
Relic (looted): Defeat Melusine, or open the treasure chest for Not Only Eagles Dare. The same merchants sell them, and they drop as random loot.
