How to get it
Complete Mining daily tasks. Each claimed task gives a Daily Skilling Chest, and every chest rolls once for an outfit piece (Easy 0.5%, Medium 2.5%, Hard 5%). A hit only gives a piece you are missing, so a full set takes exactly 4 hits. On average that is about 80 Hard tasks. Voter's Caches can also drop pieces (see Sources below).
