How to Get Nilfgaardian Guardsman Armor

Magic (crafted): Beat the third opponent in Fists of Fury: Skellige for the diagram. It also spawns at random diagram spots, and all armorers in Skellige and the merchant at the sawmill northeast of Rannvaig sell it.
Common, Master and Magic: Loot it at random or buy it from all armorers in Skellige and Toussaint and the sawmill merchant.
Relic: Random loot after level 16, quite often from guarded treasures and smugglers' caches. A special copy lies at the House of Respite in Velen, in a chest next to the Nilfgaardian Helmet, together with Nilfgaardian Guardsman's Gauntlets.
