You forgot the Reed set!

Meteor chestpiece dropped off one of the golems in the desert.
Rogue hood was in a chest in the Forgotten River area, in a secret area SE (near the crystal and fountain). See this thread for more about the set http://www.grimrock.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=7336.
Mirror gauntlets are in the pyramid on level 1 in an alcove (inside a secret area I think).
The Archmage legpiece is from the Thief's Cache (caster). That's probably one of the better known locations
The Archmage hat is in the sewers in a secret area.
The Crystal Shield is in the sewers in a secret area which can be accessed by going under water in the NW part of the level. It also requires a gold key.

I'll edit this with more info when I get it. Probably on second playthrough.

K, updating in progress... more info on location please ?

Actually, i belive that buried treasure are random... so i think i'll put a generic "Buried Treasure" then

[...]

Actually i already wrote thing like status bonus and malus, and i belive weight to be un-important.
What i could need is more precision on the spot.

Meteor leggings in Pyramid level 3, area with 2 fireballs.

Direction on map ? [NW, E, S. etc.] Actual map name ?
