Overview
The unusual perk here is the grass one, and it tells you something about how the game expects you to move.
Ronin Attire reduces enemy detection by 10–20% and increases melee damage by 15–30% — an unusual combination, since most sets pick either stealth or damage. Its third perk makes enemies slower to detect you after you leave pampas grass while crouched, which rewards the specific rhythm of crouch-move-strike that camp infiltration uses.
Available in Act 1 from Blood on the Grass, it is the bridge between the starting armour and the Ghost Armor that arrives in Act 2.
The early hybrid: enough stealth to open a fight on your terms and enough damage to finish it if that fails.

Upgrading it
Armour is improved at an armourer, paid for in linen, silk and leather gathered from the world and from tale rewards. Every set states its effects as a range, and the upper figure is what the set does only once it is fully upgraded — an unupgraded set is materially weaker than its description suggests.
