Bone Ash set appear before defeating Gehrman. I think it appear when you defeat the witch in the Central Pthumurus Chalice labyrinth.

Ashen hunter set, dropped by.. G- what? oh no.. his name is not Gyula.. the name of the hunter who gives you the Ashen set, is Djura.. please fix it

Minor inconsistency on the bells: Tested over a few characters, the Small Resonant/Sinister Bells don't have an Insight requirement, as soon as you have any Insight and the Doll and the Insight shop are active you can get them, which is handy for early game co-op against Cleric and Gascoigne.
The Ashen Hunter set doesn't unlock if your peaceful with Gyula. You have to kill him before it pops up in the Insight shop. The Bone Ash set is from killing a NPC hunter in a Chalice dungeon.

What was the point of this? It's really frustrating. Had I known, I would have just stockpiled everything when it was dirt cheap.
