How to Obtain the Lunatic Cultist Set
To get the Lunatic Cultist set, you need to purchase it from the Clothier for 20 gold (set) after defeating the Lunatic Cultist, and its appearance is based on the clothing worn by Cultists, but with a distinct design different from the robes worn by normal Lunatic Devotes or the Lunatic Cultist itself. The Lunatic Cultist set is a vanity set that can be obtained after meeting the specified criteria, making it a unique addition to any player’s collection.
