In the beginning of the Sword Art Online anime, episode 2 "Beater", Kirito
acquires the _[Coat of
Midnight](http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Coat_of_Midnight)_ when getting
the last attack bonus on the boss.

Up until episode 7, "Warmth of the Heart", it appears he is using _mostly_ the
same gear. In the beginning of this episode when we first see him, he is
daunting a new coat and his Elucidator sword. Lizbeth does say, "this is the
gnarliest sword you can get from a monster drop" or something to that effect.

Is there ever any mention of where/how he acquired his new gear? I haven't
read the manga series, is there any mention in it?

Where does Kirito get his new gear?


The [Elucidator](http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Elucidator) was a drop
from "a boss" on the 50th Floor. It's not really specified _which_ boss
dropped it though, as it could have been the main Floor Boss, a Field Boss, or
maybe a boss in a dungeon that happened to be on the 50th Floor. At the time
he got it, the sword still had too high of a requirement for him to even
wield, but he still consistently upgraded it.

Kirito's coat also changes between most episodes (until they stop changing in
Episode 7) and most of his coats are probably either drops, or tailored.
However, it's stated that Kirito's final coat, the [Blackwyrm
Coat](http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Blackwyrm_Coat), was crafted by a
player called [Ashley](http://swordartonline.wikia.com/wiki/Ashley), which was
referred to him by Asuna, during the murder mystery story—though that part was
cut out of the anime.

Well, maybe it's in the manga or lightnovel, in the anime has no mention of
this, but in a RPG is not uncommon to get new gears and weapons, describe all
of them and how are acquired takes a lot of time and explanation, and can make
a history loses some fun.

Buuuut, here we go:

> The Blackwyrm Coat (ブラックウィルム・コート, Burakku Uirumu Kōto) is a player-made
> black leather coat, tailored from black dragon leather, a high grade raw
> material, by Aincrad's best player seamstress, Ashley, that Kirito wore in
> the final months of Sword Art Online.
