How to get the Inquisitor's plateskirt
The Inquisitor's plateskirt is a drop from The Nightmare, at a rate of 1/420 solo, improving to 1/240.1 with a full 80-player party. It also drops from Phosani's Nightmare, the solo-dedicated hard mode version of the fight, at a rate of 1/700. It is one of three pieces of the Inquisitor's armour set, once belonging to "The Inquisitor," a former Saradominist Justiciar and one of the founders of Slepe, before it lay sealed in the Sisterhood Sanctuary deep beneath Slepe until The Nightmare's arrival unearthed it.
The plateskirt can be stored in an armour case in a costume room once obtained.
