Additionally, these Class Item Sets can be purchased from the Endless Archive’s merchants, Filer Ool and Tezurs, whom the latter can be found at the Archive’s Index Chamber. You will need the dungeon’s exclusive currency, Archival Fortunes, which can be traded for boxes with Class Item Sets.

Detailed on the PTS Patch Notes for Update 40, the developer explained how players can find Class Item Sets in the Endless Archive. “Curation rules in Endless Archive dictate that you will find your class’ set items first. After receiving the entirety of your class item set, you will get drops from the other classes.”
